LibreTranslate MCP — open-source machine translation (BYO endpoint)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
detect_language |
Detect the source language of a piece of text. Returns ranked language candidates with confidence. |
list_languages |
List languages supported by the configured LibreTranslate instance. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"libretranslate": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/libretranslate/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Libretranslate data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
