## MCP tools (10)

### `i18n_project_info` (~58 tokens)

Inspect i18n project

Locales, key format (plain or namespace:key), key counts, resolved config and warnings. Call once per session before other tools.

Input parameters:

- `workspaceDir` (string): Sub-directory of the workspace root to operate on. Usually omitted.

### `i18n_get_translations` (~162 tokens)

Get translations

Values of specific keys in every (or selected) locale; null marks a missing translation. A key ending with '.' returns the whole namespace. Use includeValues:false for presence only.

Input parameters:

- `includeValues` (boolean): Default true. False returns the locales holding each key.
- `keys` (array, required): Exact keys, or namespaces ending with '.' (e.g. 'nav.').
- `limit` (number): Max items to return (default 50).
- `locales` (array): Locale tags to include, e.g. ['en','tr']. Default: all.
- `maxValueChars` (number): Truncate values (default 160).
- `workspaceDir` (string): Sub-directory of the workspace root to operate on. Usually omitted.

### `i18n_search_keys` (~183 tokens)

Search keys

Find keys by substring of the key or the translated text, optionally under a key prefix. Keys missing from some locales are marked with "in". Add includeValues to see the text.

Input parameters:

- `caseSensitive` (boolean)
- `includeValues` (boolean): Default false.
- `keyPrefix` (string): Only keys starting with this prefix, e.g. 'component.chat.'.
- `limit` (number): Max items to return (default 50).
- `locales` (array): Locale tags to include, e.g. ['en','tr']. Default: all.
- `maxValueChars` (number)
- `query` (string): Substring to look for (case-insensitive by default).
- `searchIn` (string): Default both.
- `workspaceDir` (string): Sub-directory of the workspace root to operate on. Usually omitted.

### `i18n_file_keys` (~92 tokens)

Keys used by a file

Translation keys referenced in one source file and the locales that lack each of them. Run after editing a component to verify its copy is complete.

Input parameters:

- `filePath` (string, required): Workspace-relative or absolute path of a source file.
- `includeComplete` (boolean): Default false: only count fully translated keys.
- `workspaceDir` (string): Sub-directory of the workspace root to operate on. Usually omitted.

### `i18n_key_references` (~81 tokens)

Find key references

Where keys are used in code, as path:line:column, with exact totals. Useful before renaming or deleting a key.

Input parameters:

- `keys` (array, required)
- `limit` (number): Max locations per key (default 25).
- `workspaceDir` (string): Sub-directory of the workspace root to operate on. Usually omitted.

### `i18n_audit` (~160 tokens)

Audit translations

Project-wide health check: keys missing in some locale (vs the base locale), placeholder mismatches, keys used in code but untranslated, and keys never referenced in code. Choose checks to keep the response small.

Input parameters:

- `baseLocale` (string): Reference locale (default: first locale).
- `checks` (array): Subset of missing, placeholders, code, unused. Default all.
- `includeReferences` (boolean): Attach code locations to untranslated keys.
- `limit` (number): Max items to return (default 50).
- `locales` (array): Locale tags to include, e.g. ['en','tr']. Default: all.
- `workspaceDir` (string): Sub-directory of the workspace root to operate on. Usually omitted.

### `i18n_upsert_translations` (~111 tokens)

Add or update translations

Create or update keys in one call, with a value per locale. Writes immediately and never deletes keys. An existing value that differs is reported as a conflict unless overwrite:true. Reports missing locales and placeholder mismatches.

Input parameters:

- `dryRun` (boolean): Preview only (default false).
- `entries` (array, required)
- `overwrite` (boolean): Replace values that already differ (default false).
- `workspaceDir` (string): Sub-directory of the workspace root to operate on. Usually omitted.

### `i18n_delete_keys` (~101 tokens)

Delete keys

Remove keys from all or selected locales. Previews by default; pass dryRun:false to delete (or confirm the dialog).

Input parameters:

- `dryRun` (boolean): Default true (preview). false deletes.
- `keys` (array, required)
- `locales` (array): Locale tags to include, e.g. ['en','tr']. Default: all.
- `workspaceDir` (string): Sub-directory of the workspace root to operate on. Usually omitted.

### `i18n_rename_key` (~139 tokens)

Rename key or move namespace

Rename a key across locales, or move a whole namespace when from ends with '.' (e.g. 'nav.' -> 'menu.'). Refuses when a target exists. Previews by default; pass dryRun:false to apply.

Input parameters:

- `dryRun` (boolean): Default true (preview). false applies.
- `from` (string, required): Key, or namespace prefix ending with '.'.
- `locales` (array): Locale tags to include, e.g. ['en','tr']. Default: all.
- `to` (string, required)
- `workspaceDir` (string): Sub-directory of the workspace root to operate on. Usually omitted.

### `i18n_format_resources` (~106 tokens)

Format locale files

Normalize JSON formatting and sort keys (top level only for mixed files). Previews by default; pass dryRun:false to rewrite.

Input parameters:

- `dryRun` (boolean): Default true (preview). false rewrites.
- `locales` (array): Locale tags to include, e.g. ['en','tr']. Default: all.
- `sortKeys` (boolean): Default true.
- `workspaceDir` (string): Sub-directory of the workspace root to operate on. Usually omitted.

## Common questions

### What is the io.github.hepter/i18n-codelens-mcp server?

io.github.hepter/i18n-codelens-mcp is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.hepter/i18n-codelens-mcp. Inspect, audit and safely edit i18n locale JSON files from AI agents. This page covers its npm package (i18n-codelens-mcp).

### Is the io.github.hepter/i18n-codelens-mcp server safe to use?

io.github.hepter/i18n-codelens-mcp scores 79 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. 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 io.github.hepter/i18n-codelens-mcp server expose?

io.github.hepter/i18n-codelens-mcp exposes 10 tools: i18n_project_info, i18n_get_translations, i18n_search_keys, i18n_file_keys, i18n_key_references, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,193 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the io.github.hepter/i18n-codelens-mcp server still maintained?

io.github.hepter/i18n-codelens-mcp is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the io.github.hepter/i18n-codelens-mcp server under?

io.github.hepter/i18n-codelens-mcp declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
