Auth / endpoint
LibreTranslate's free public instances have largely shut down or migrated to paid. You must provide an instance:
- Self-host: https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate
- Paid: https://libretranslate.com (BYO their API key)
- Community instance that's still up
Configure via:
- Platform: gateway env vars
PLATFORM_LIBRETRANSLATE_ENDPOINT(URL) and optionallyPLATFORM_LIBRETRANSLATE_KEY. - BYO: pass
?_endpoint=https://your-instance/&_apiKey=...on the gateway URL.
Data shape
Standard LibreTranslate v1 API — see the spec.
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"libretranslate": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/libretranslate/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Libretranslate data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
