Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

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.)
