## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-17.

- **Endpoint Security**: 78/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port redirected somewhere other than https, so enforcement is unproven.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
  - The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 0/100
  - Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but the endpoint redirected instead of responding directly.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 80/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3257 tokens (~141/item across 23 items; 23 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 17/100
  - Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 99/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 96% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 23 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 24 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

### How do I install the Weblate MCP by usefulapi server?

Weblate MCP by usefulapi is a hosted endpoint at https://weblate.usefulapi.io/mcp, 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.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-10-16 (score 64, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 10 to 13. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 3 days of observed history at the previous scan, 4 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-10-14 (score 63, +3)

The number of plural forms must match the language. Changes are committed to the repository by Weblate's normal schedule. PATCH /api/units/{id}/.

Input parameters:

Needs the Add suggestion permission and suggestions enabled (Weblate 2026.8+). POST /api/units/{id}/suggestions/.

Input parameters:

- `target` (array, required): The text as a list of plural forms; use a one-element list for a string without plurals.
- `unit_id` (integer, required): Weblate unit id (from weblate_list_units).

### `weblate_autotranslate` (~304 tokens)

Run automatic translation

WRITE: fill a translation automatically from other components (auto_source others, default) or from machine translation (mt, needs engines). `mode` suggest only adds suggestions (default), translate writes translations, fuzzy marks them needing edit. `q` limits it to strings matching a search (default state:<translated, the strings that are not translated yet); threshold is the minimum match score (default 80). Use background to schedule a task instead of waiting. POST /api/translations/{project}/{component}/{language}/autotranslate/.

Input parameters:

- `auto_source` (string): others = other components (default), mt = machine translation engines (needs engines).

Weblate MCP by usefulapi is listed in the public MCP registry as io.usefulapi/weblate. Read Weblate projects, strings, stats and changes; translate, suggest, comment and autotranslate. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://weblate.usefulapi.io/mcp).

### Is the Weblate MCP by usefulapi server safe to use?

Weblate MCP by usefulapi scores 64 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 Weblate MCP by usefulapi server expose?

Weblate MCP by usefulapi exposes 23 tools: weblate_list_projects, weblate_get_project, weblate_list_components, weblate_get_component, weblate_list_translations, and 18 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 3,051 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Weblate MCP by usefulapi server require authentication?

Yes. Weblate MCP by usefulapi asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.
