I18n Overview

The i18n MCP server gives AI agents tools for locale detection, source-code key extraction, translation consistency checks, plural rules, and locale-aware formatting. It connects to an MCP client through a Node.js stdio process and uses JavaScript Intl APIs for number, currency, date, and relative-time formatting. Reach for it when an agent needs to audit localization work, identify translatable strings, or generate locale-specific output.

Primary Use Cases for I18n:
  • Detect the locale and script of user-provided text
  • Extract hardcoded interface strings from source files
  • Audit locale JSON files for missing or inconsistent entries
  • Generate plural categories and classify test numbers
