### Description (declared)

# Lokalise MCP Integration

MCP server for extracting translation keys from code and syncing them to Lokalise with AI-powered translations.

## Features

- 🔍 Extract translation keys from git diff and untracked files
- 🤖 Three translation modes: No AI, Lokalise AI, or Claude AI
- 👀 Interactive preview before creating keys
- 🛡️ Content safety guards to prevent harmful translations
- 📦 Batch creation with progress tracking (3 keys at a time)
- ⚠️ Skip existing keys automatically
- 🎯 Supports custom translation functions (t, translate, Translate, etc.)

## Installation

### Prerequisites

- Lokalise account with API access
- **Optional:** Anthropic API key (only required for Mode 3 - Claude AI translations)
- **One of:**
  - Docker (for Option 1 - easiest, no Python required)
  - Python 3.10+ with uv/pip (for Options 2-3)

### Option 1: Using uvx (Recommended - Simplest Setup)

No installation needed - just works:

Configure Claude Code MCP in `~/.config/claude/config.json`:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lokalise": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["lokalise-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LOKALISE_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here",
        "LOKALISE_PROJECT_ID": "your-project-id-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**Note:** Add `"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-anthropic-api-key-here"` only if you want Mode 3 (Claude AI translations).

**Benefits:**
- ✅ Zero configuration - just 2 required environment variables
- ✅ Auto-updates to latest version
- ✅ No volume mounts or file path complexity
- ✅ Works immediately

### Option 2: Using Docker (Alternative - No Python Required)

Docker is available but more complex because the container needs access to your local git repository:

```bash
docker pull sidzan/lokalise-mcp:latest
```

Note: Docker setup for this MCP is more complex than API-only MCPs (like mcp-atlassian) because lokalise-mcp needs to read your local git repository files. **We recommend using uvx (Option 1) instead for simplicity.**
