Paraglide Messages MCP Tools (10)
project_info
Locales, base locale, `totalKeys` across all locales, `translatableKeys` from non-empty base messages, per-locale translated/missing counts, extra non-source keys, and the startup translation style brief when configured.
get_translation_batch
Next batch of untranslated messages for a locale (default 50), with source text and required placeholders. Optionally autosaves the previous batch in the same call (pass `translations`), so the loop is one round-trip per batch and the final batch is saved by the call that reports `done`.
get_retranslation_batch
Cursor-paged batch over *already-translated* messages too — refresh stale entries after source/terminology changes. Same optional autosave as `get_translation_batch`.
save_translations
Validate and persist translations for one locale; per-item results — overwrites existing values. (The batch tools share this save core for their autosave.)
list_message_keys
Keys only, filterable by prefix and status, paginated.
get_messages
Full message content by keys or prefix.
search_messages
Find messages by text or key substring.
delete_messages
Key management across all locales.
remove_orphan_messages
Delete target-locale keys that are absent from the source locale (base locale by default), optionally scoped by locale or prefix.
