All Phrase plans, currently at no additional cost
The Phrase MCP Server (Model Context Protocol Server) connects AI assistants, such as Claude, to Phrase. It brings Phrase's language intelligence into these tools, allowing assistants to work with projects, jobs, and translations using natural language. The server spans Phrase TMS, Phrase Strings, and other Phrase capabilities exposed through the API, and operates above these individual products rather than within one of them.
Capabilities
MCP Server brings Phrase's language intelligence into AI tools already in use, enabling content, jobs, and translations to be acted on with natural language wherever the work happens. Typical tasks include:
-
Asking questions about projects and jobs.
-
Troubleshooting quality issues across content without opening individual files or languages.
-
Creating jobs or reassigning projects.
-
Performing bulk updates instead of updating one item at a time.
Connection Options
MCP Server supports two connection methods.
Remote Connection (Recommended)
Remote connection uses sign-in with an existing Phrase account and requires no installation. This method works with AI tools that support connecting to a remote server.
Self-Hosted Connection
Self-hosted connection runs on infrastructure managed by the team and requires Node.js and a configuration file.
Getting Started
Find full setup steps for both connection options, including commands for different AI tools, in the Developer Hub article Phrase MCP Server.
After connecting, find a curated list of starter prompts organized by task in the Developer Hub article Server Starter Prompts.
Permissions
When connecting, the account holder selects the level of access granted to the assistant: view data, create data, or modify and delete data. This applies in addition to existing Phrase role permissions, not instead of them, so the assistant cannot exceed what the account already allows.
Review or revoke access at any time from Phrase profile settings, under the tab.
