FAQ from Intento Translation MCP Server

What dependencies are required?

The server requires Python and the packages listed in requirements.txt. Install them with pip install -r requirements.txt.

How do I set my Intento API key?

You can set INTENTO_API_KEY in a .env file at the project root (shared by all MCP clients) or in the env section of your client’s MCP config JSON (per‑client credentials).

Which languages are supported?

The server fetches language codes dynamically from the Intento API and makes them available via the mcp://intento-translate/language-codes resource. If the API call fails, a minimal fallback set is used.

How does automatic language detection work?

When the source_language parameter is empty (default), the server omits the source language in the API request, allowing Intento to detect it automatically.

Where are logs stored?

All operations are logged to logs/intento-translate.log in the server’s directory.
