About Intlayer MCP Server

Intlayer MCP Server exposes the Intlayer i18n ecosystem to AI assistants and MCP-capable IDEs. The local stdio server (via @intlayer/mcp) integrates documentation lookup, Intlayer CLI commands, and CMS/dictionary API management, while a hosted remote Streamable HTTP server at https://mcp.intlayer.org offers documentation-only access without authentication. Setup can be automated with npx intlayer init mcp, the Intlayer VS Code extension, or by adding a config block manually.

What this server can do

Intlayer MCP Server provides tools for these capabilities — tap one to see every MCP server that does the same:

Search documentation

When to use it

Letting an AI assistant run Intlayer CLI commands (build, fill, push, pull) from the IDE
Surfacing up-to-date Intlayer documentation to the assistant for faster setup and migrations
Managing Intlayer CMS dictionaries, tags, organizations, and projects via the API tools
Extracting translatable strings from components and auto-filling missing translations

Security notes

The local stdio server runs Intlayer CLI commands on your machine (build, fill, push, pull, extract) and can manage CMS dictionaries/organizations, so review actions before allowing them. The remote Streamable HTTP server at https://mcp.intlayer.org is public, unauthenticated, exposes only documentation tools, and its availability is not guaranteed.

Intlayer MCP Server FAQ

Which clients are supported?

Any MCP-capable environment, including Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and AI assistants like Gemini and ChatGPT.

What is the difference between the local and remote servers?

The local stdio server (@intlayer/mcp) integrates all features including CLI and API tools and is recommended. The remote Streamable HTTP server at https://mcp.intlayer.org is public, unauthenticated, and free, but only exposes documentation tools and has no availability guarantee.

How do I set it up quickly?

Run `npx intlayer init mcp`, which asks for your platform and transport and updates the right config file (e.g. .cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json, or the Claude Desktop config). You can also use the Intlayer VS Code extension or add the config block manually.

Does it require authentication?

No. The local stdio server runs under your own environment, and the remote server is public with no authentication.
