Lara Translate MCP Server

What does “Lara Translate” MCP Server do?

Lara Translate MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants and applications to the Lara Translate API, enabling professional-grade translation capabilities. By acting as a bridge between AI models and the translation service, it allows seamless integration for tasks such as language detection, context-aware translations, and leveraging translation memories. The server enables AI applications to securely and flexibly perform translations, discover available tools and resources, and handle translation requests with structured parameters. This approach enhances development workflows, allowing applications to offer high-quality translations without directly managing the underlying API, while maintaining the security of API credentials and supporting advanced features for non-English languages.

How to use this MCP inside flows

Using MCP in FlowHunt

To integrate MCP servers into your FlowHunt workflow, start by adding the MCP component to your flow and connecting it to your AI agent:

Click on the MCP component to open the configuration panel. In the system MCP configuration section, insert your MCP server details using this JSON format:

{
  "lara-mcp": {
    "transport": "streamable_http",
    "url": "https://yourmcpserver.example/pathtothemcp/url"
  }
}

Once configured, the AI agent is now able to use this MCP as a tool with access to all its functions and capabilities. Remember to change “lara-mcp” to the actual name of your MCP server and replace the URL with your own MCP server URL.

Overview

Based on the available documentation, Lara Translate MCP provides a robust translation tool and clear setup instructions, but lacks explicit prompt templates, MCP resource listings, and sampling/root support documentation. Overall, it is a focused, practical MCP server for translation tasks.
