The live tool list is served by the MCP endpoint via tools/list. Categories below reflect current coverage.

Full schema: see docs/tools.md.

Authentication

• Token — POEditor API token, passed as Authorization: Bearer <token> header
• OAuth 2.1 (PKCE) — supported for one-click connect in Claude Code, Claude.ai Connectors, and compatible clients

Token scope: user's own projects only. No cross-tenant access. See Authentication.
