Lara Translate MCP Server

What is the Lara Translate MCP Server?

The Lara Translate MCP Server is a middleware interface that allows developers to access Lara Translate's powerful multilingual API in local or cloud environments. It supports language detection, context-aware translations, and custom translation instructions, making it ideal for production use with advanced translation workflows.

Key Features

• Language Detection: Automatically identifies the source language if not specified.

• Context-Aware Translations: Improve accuracy by passing domain-specific context.

• Custom Instructions: Fine-tune how translations behave (e.g., tone, terminology).

• Multi-Language Support: Works across a wide range of language pairs.
