Endpoint Security74
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability76
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1010 tokens (~144/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
  • No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 7 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 8 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
Install

How do I install the com.ainetcafe/netcafe-translate MCP server?

com.ainetcafe/netcafe-translate is a hosted endpoint at https://ainetcafe.com/mcp/translate?s=registry, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Diagnostic detail from the automated scan of this channel: what the scanner observed at each step, so you can see exactly where a check passed or failed. It is informational only and never changes the trust score.

MCP tools · 7 exposed · ~921 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
check_grammar ~109

Check text for grammar, spelling and style issues in 30+ languages (self-hosted LanguageTool). Returns each issue with a suggested replacement — apply them to produce corrected text. Example — GET https://ainetcafe.com/t/check_grammar?text=Their+going+to+the+park

NameTypeReqDescription
languagestring–Language code like "en-US", "zh-CN"; default "auto".
textstringyesThe text to check (≤10000 chars).

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

check_job ~108

Get the status or result of a job started by deep_research, translate_pdf, or make_slides. Poll every 15-30 seconds until status is "done" or "error". While work is pending, follow retry_after_seconds and next_action; when complete, prefer structured_result when present. Example — GET https://ainetcafe.com/t/check_job?job_id=<id-from-a-job-tool>

NameTypeReqDescription
job_idstringyesThe job_id returned when the task was started.
NameTypeReqDescription

is_terminalboolean––
job_idstringyes–
kindstring––
next_actionobject|null––
result–––
retry_after_secondsinteger––
statusstringyes–
structured_result–––

No examples provided.

translate_i18n_json ~119

Translate an i18n JSON locale file, keeping the key structure identical and placeholders ({name}, {{count}}, %s, HTML tags) intact. Pass existing_json to translate only the keys that are missing from it — the incremental sync people usually hand-roll a script for.

NameTypeReqDescription
existing_jsonstring–Existing target locale; only missing keys get translated.
jsonstring–Source locale file content (JSON).
tostring–Target language.
urlstring–Or a link to the source JSON.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

translate_pdf ~197

Translate a PDF from a URL while preserving the original layout — formulas, figures and two-column academic typesetting stay intact, unlike ordinary translators that flatten the document. Returns a job_id; poll check_job for the download links (translated-only and bilingual side-by-side). Typically 20-60 seconds for a few pages. Powered by PDFMathTranslate (36k stars) hosted at AI NetCafé. Example — tools/call translate_pdf {"url":"<pdf-url>","target":"zh"} → poll check_job

NameTypeReqDescription
lang_tostring–Target language, e.g. "Simplified Chinese", "Japanese". Default Simplified Chinese.
pagesstring–How much to translate. first = 1 page, first5 = first 5 pages (default), all = whole document (slow and expensive).
urlstringyesDirect URL to the PDF (e.g. an arXiv PDF link).
NameTypeReqDescription
job_idstringyes–
poll_interval_secondsinteger––
statusstringyes–

No examples provided.

translate_srt ~113

Translate an .srt subtitle file into another language while keeping every timestamp and cue number byte-identical. Cues are anchored by index and refilled in code, so the timeline cannot drift — the usual failure mode when you hand a whole .srt to a model.

NameTypeReqDescription
srtstring–The .srt file content.
tostring–Target language, e.g. "English", "日本語".
urlstring–Or a link to the .srt file.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

translate_text ~116

Translate text between languages using a self-hosted LibreTranslate engine (fully offline, no big-tech API). For whole PDFs with layout preserved, use translate_pdf instead. Example — GET https://ainetcafe.com/t/translate_text?text=hello+world&to=zh

NameTypeReqDescription
sourcestring–Source language code; default "auto".
targetstringyesTarget language code, e.g. "zh", "en", "ja".
textstringyesText to translate (≤5000 chars).

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

what_can_you_do ~159

Describe a task in plain language (any language) and get back exactly which tools on this server do it, with ready-to-run example calls — instead of reading the whole catalogue and guessing. Also returns multi-step recipes when a task needs several tools chained (invoices to a ledger, a bank statement reconciled, a messy CSV turned into a deliverable). Deterministic and free: it calls no model, costs nothing, and never runs out of quota. Call this FIRST when you are not sure what this server offers.

NameTypeReqDescription
taskstringyesWhat you are trying to do, e.g. "reconcile a bank statement against my books" or "把一堆发票整理成能入账的表格"

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

Common questions

What is the com.ainetcafe/netcafe-translate MCP server?

com.ainetcafe/netcafe-translate is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.ainetcafe/netcafe-translate. Translation that never breaks structure: .srt timings, i18n key trees, PDF layout. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://ainetcafe.com/mcp/translate?s=registry).

Is the com.ainetcafe/netcafe-translate MCP server safe to use?

com.ainetcafe/netcafe-translate scores 85 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the com.ainetcafe/netcafe-translate MCP server expose?

com.ainetcafe/netcafe-translate exposes 7 tools: what_can_you_do, translate_text, translate_srt, translate_i18n_json, check_grammar, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 921 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the com.ainetcafe/netcafe-translate MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to com.ainetcafe/netcafe-translate without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the com.ainetcafe/netcafe-translate MCP server still maintained?

com.ainetcafe/netcafe-translate is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 3 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
