What you can do with Lingva Translate

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Translation, 2 operations

translate_auto_detectTranslate auto detectGETTranslates text to a target language while automatically detecting the source language. Returns translated text plus the detected source language code.

Audio, 1 operation

Lingva Translate API rate limits

No official rate limits documented. Self-hosted instances may have custom limits.

These are the limits Lingva Translate documents, not ones LiveContext measured. They can change and often depend on your plan, so check the Lingva Translate documentation for current values.

Use Lingva Translate from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Lingva Translate in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Lingva Translate operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs
