i18next MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides translation management capabilities for i18next projects, enabling AI assistants like Cursor to directly interact with translation files.

🚀 Quick Setup

The easiest way to use this MCP server is with npx. No installation required:

npx i18next-mcp-server@latest --help

🔧 Cursor Configuration

Add this to your Cursor MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "i18next-translation": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "i18next-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "I18N_PROJECT_ROOT": "/path/to/your/project",
        "I18N_LOCALES_PATH": "public/locales",
        "I18N_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE": "en",
        "I18N_SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES": "en,es,fr"
      }
