Phrase MCP

What Phrase MCP does

Phrase MCP gives an MCP-compatible AI assistant a structured way to investigate Phrase Developer Hub content. Its coverage includes documentation pages, code examples, API references, implementation guides, and the OpenAPI specifications mounted for Phrase products and services.

The server is focused on information retrieval and documentation feedback. It does not expose Phrase translation or terminology operations through the listed tools; its practical role is helping an agent find and inspect technical information about the Phrase platform.

How it works

Use search_phrase_developer_hub for broad or conceptual questions. The search returns contextual excerpts, page titles, and direct documentation links, which helps an agent identify relevant material before opening a complete page.

For exact reading or investigation, use query_docs_filesystem_phrase_developer_hub. This tool presents a read-only, in-memory filesystem containing Phrase Developer Hub pages and OpenAPI specifications. Documentation pages are represented as .mdx files. After finding a page path, an agent can read it with commands such as head or cat; commands including rg, tree, ls, jq, and sed support focused searches and structural inspection.

Each filesystem call is stateless: the working directory resets to / between calls. Commands can inspect the virtual documentation store, but they cannot write files, access a real machine, run processes, or make network requests. Paths should be discovered with the search tool or filesystem navigation rather than guessed.

Tools and capabilities

• Search the Phrase Developer Hub for concepts, API references, guides, examples, and feature information.
• Open a documentation page by reading its discovered .mdx path with head or cat.
• Search documentation files with exact keywords or regular expressions using read-only commands.
• Explore the documentation tree and list available files.
• Inspect mounted Phrase OpenAPI specifications, including endpoint definitions, schemas, parameters, and authentication details.
• Submit feedback about incorrect, outdated, confusing, incomplete, or broken documentation.

Limitations and notes

The filesystem is a documentation sandbox, not a shell on the user’s computer or the server host. It contains Phrase Developer Hub pages and OpenAPI specifications only, and the available queries are read-only. Documentation feedback is intended for problems with the site’s content, not general product support or feedback about the MCP tool itself.

Because calls do not preserve state, navigation commands and file reads should be chained in one call when they depend on the same working directory. A reliable workflow is to search first, discover the exact path, then read or query that path.
