Shipi18n Overview

The shipi18n MCP server exposes locale-file checking, diffing, and review tools to AI coding clients. Structural validation runs locally and does not require an API key, while semantic review can use a provider key supplied by the user. It supports Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients through the @shipi18n/mcp package. Reach for it when an agent needs to inspect translation changes or catch broken placeholders, plurals, keys, and formatting.

Primary Use Cases for Shipi18n:
  • Check locale changes before committing
  • Review translation diffs in an AI coding session
  • Find broken placeholders and plural forms
  • Compare locale files for missing or extra keys
