Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

AI-powered translation for 48 languages with context-aware quality

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: I18N_AGENT_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: I18N_AGENT_API_KEY, MCP_SERVER_URL

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet
  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • I18N_AGENT_API_KEY secret required env
    API key from app.i18nagent.ai

Common questions

Is i18n-agent safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: I18N_AGENT_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.16.3) reached the registry 8 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

🔧 Manual Setup

If auto-installation fails, you can manually configure your IDE:

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "i18n-agent": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/i18n-agent.js"], "env": { "MCP_SERVER_URL": "https://mcp.i18nagent.ai", "I18N_AGENT_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } } } }

Cursor / VS Code

Create .cursor/mcp_settings.json or .vscode/mcp_settings.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "i18n-agent": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/i18n-agent.js"], "env": { "MCP_SERVER_URL": "https://mcp.i18nagent.ai", "I18N_AGENT_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } } } }

💡 Usage Tips

Translation Context
  • Target Audience: Specify "technical", "casual", "formal", or "general"
  • Industry Context: Use "technology", "healthcare", "finance", "education"
  • Regional Variations: Add regions like "Spain", "Mexico", "Brazil"
File Translation
  • Preserve Structure: Keeps original file format and structure
  • Output Format: Convert between formats (JSON ↔ YAML ↔ CSV)
  • Large Files: Automatically chunks large files for processing
  • Async Processing: Files >50KB processed asynchronously with job tracking
  • Progress Monitoring: Real-time status updates for long-running translations
  • Timeout Resilience: Up to 10 minutes for large translation jobs
Large Translation Handling
  • Async Processing: >100 texts or >50KB files processed asynchronously
  • Job Tracking: Unique job IDs for monitoring long-running translations
  • Progress Updates: Real-time completion percentages and status
  • Extended Timeouts: 5-10 minute timeouts prevent interruptions
  • Automatic Polling: Client automatically polls for job completion
Credit Management
  • Cost: 1 credit per word ($0.01/word)
  • Monitoring: Check balance before large translations
  • Estimates: Get word count estimates before translation
Quality Warnings
  • Source Analysis: By default, source content is analyzed for quality issues before translation
  • Skip Warnings: Use skipWarnings: true to bypass warnings in automated workflows
  • Trade-off: Skipping warnings may reduce translation quality as potential issues aren't addressed
  • Best Practice: Keep warnings enabled (default) for production translations

🚨 Troubleshooting

Installation Issues

Permission denied:

sudo npm install -g @i18n-agent/mcp-client

IDE not detected:

# Check if IDE directory exists

ls ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/ ls ~/.cursor/ ls ~/.vscode/

MCP Connection Issues

"Failed" status in Claude Code:

This usually happens with Node Version Managers (nvm, fnm, n). The installer now automatically detects nvm and creates a wrapper script. If you still have issues:

  1. Check your Node installation:
   which node

If output contains .nvm, you're using nvm

  1. Manual wrapper script (if auto-detection fails): Create ~/.claude/run-mcp.sh:
   #!/bin/bash

export PATH="$(dirname $(which node)):$PATH" cd ~/.claude exec node node_modules/@i18n-agent/mcp-client/i18n-agent.js

   

Make it executable:

   chmod +x ~/.claude/run-mcp.sh
  1. Update Claude configuration: Edit ~/.claude.json:
   {

"mcpServers": { "i18n-agent": { "command": "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/.claude/run-mcp.sh", "env": { "MCP_SERVER_URL": "https://mcp.i18nagent.ai", "I18N_AGENT_API_KEY": "your-api-key" } } } }

  1. Restart Claude Code completely (not just close window, quit the app)
Runtime Issues

API Key not found:

echo $I18N_AGENT_API_KEY  # Should show your key

export I18N_AGENT_API_KEY=your-key-here

Connection errors:

  • Check your internet connection
  • Verify API key is valid
  • Try again after a few seconds

Translation quality:

  • Use Tier 1 languages for production
  • Add context with industry/audience parameters
  • Review Tier 2/3 translations manually

📊 Pricing

  • Pay-per-use: 1 credit per word ($0.01/word)
  • No subscriptions: Only pay for what you translate
  • Bulk discounts: Available for enterprise usage
  • Free tier: New accounts get starter credits

🔐 Privacy & Security

  • No data storage: Translations are processed in real-time
  • Encrypted transport: All data sent over HTTPS
  • API key security: Keys are stored locally, never transmitted in logs
  • GDPR compliant: EU privacy standards

🏗️ Architecture

The MCP client installer uses a modular architecture for bulletproof installation:

lib/

├── config-manager.js # Config file operations with atomic writes ├── installer-core.js # Installation orchestration ├── transport-detector.js # Auto-detect SSE vs stdio transport └── validator.js # Input validation and sanitization

Key Features
  • Atomic Config Writes: Use temp files + rename for crash safety
  • Automatic Backups: Create timestamped backups before modifications
  • Transport Detection: Auto-detect SSE vs stdio from config
  • Comprehensive Validation: Validate all inputs at module boundaries
  • Zero External Dependencies: Uses only Node.js built-ins
