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: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Other
You need to fill in: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

Install

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

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
You fill in yourself: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

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

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "glot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "glot-i18n",
        "mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add glot --env ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y glot-i18n mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "glot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "glot-i18n",
        "mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "glot": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "glot-i18n",
        "mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

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

Values you fill in

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY secret env
LLM key used by the translate tool (or OPENAI_API_KEY, per glot.toml). Not needed for context, check or add.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is glot 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: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.4.0) reached the registry 19 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

glot

Your coding agent localizes your app. Deterministic code guarantees that nothing broken or too long lands in your catalogs.

The real glot translate binary. The LLM is scripted to get three strings wrong on its first pass; every refusal and message is glot's. Reproduce it, or rerun it with a real model doing the retries: docs/launch/record/refusal.sh.

npx glot-i18n init        # detect your i18n stack, write glot.toml + rules for your coding agent

npx glot-i18n i18nize # hardcoded UI strings -> keys, components rewritten (next-intl, react-i18next) npx glot-i18n translate # translate only the delta; invalid output is refused, retried, never written

Or all of it in one idempotent step: npx glot-i18n localize --yes --targets fr,de (init if needed → i18nize → translate → check).

Guarantees

Checked by code on every LLM output, on glot set, in the overlay and in CI (glot check). A refused string goes back to the model with the exact reason (2 retries, then the fallback model); if it still fails, nothing is written.


Placeholders	`{name}`, `{{name}}`, tags: same set as the source, none invented, none translated. ICU, i18next and MessageFormat 2 syntax parsed.
CLDR plurals	Every category the target locale needs (`pl`: one, few, many, other; `ar`: six of them).
Glossary	`glossary.toml` in your repo: required and forbidden translations, do-not-translate terms.
Pixel width	`glot measure` records each key's box and font from your running app; translations are shaped with that font and refused if wider. `glot fit` shortens what already overflows.
Lockfile	`glot.lock` hashes source and target: only the delta is translated, and a hand edit is never overwritten without `--force`.
MCP for your agent	`glot mcp` gives Claude Code, Cursor or Codex your keys, their usages (file:line, UI role), the glossary, and tools that add strings through the same validator.

Works with the i18n library you already use, adds no runtime, bring your own LLM key (Anthropic, OpenAI, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint). MIT.
