Two ways to connect

Pick one. Both expose the same six translation tools and bill from the same Bluente account — the hosted server adds a seventh for uploading files out of a chat sandbox.

Hosted server — nothing to install

Sign in with your Bluente account (OAuth). No Node.js, no API key. Available today for Claude on web, desktop and Claude Code — custom connectors need a paid Claude plan.

// Claude web & desktop: Settings → Connectors
// → Add custom connector, then paste:
https://mcp.bluente.com/

// Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http \
  bluente-translate https://mcp.bluente.com/

Local server — reads files off your disk

Open source, runs on your machine over stdio. Needs Node.js 20+ and a Bluente API key. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop and ChatGPT Work.

// Claude Code, one command:
claude mcp add bluente-translate \
  -e BLUENTE_API_KEY=your_key_here \
  -- npx -y @bluente/translate-mcp-server

// Codex:
codex mcp add bluente-translate \
  --env BLUENTE_API_KEY=your_key_here \
  -- npx -y @bluente/translate-mcp-server

// Claude Desktop and Cursor take the JSON
// config block shown at the top of this page.

What it costs Translation is billed from your Bluente credits at one credit per page, charged only when you confirm and only for the pages you asked for. Image mode is the one exception at five credits per page. Connecting, listing languages and re-issuing a download link are all free. See pricing →
Then check it worked Ask your agent “what languages does Bluente translation support?” — a free, read-only call. A language list back means you are connected. Your API key lives in your Bluente dashboard under API keys.

What is the Model Context Protocol?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI agents and language models seamlessly access tools and data. Bluente's MCP server makes document translation a native capability of your AI system.

Instead of building custom integrations, you declare Bluente as an MCP server. Your AI agent can then translate documents using natural language requests—no API calls, no complexity.

Why it matters: Scale document translation workflows across teams without writing integration code. Your AI agent handles the rest.

How MCP works: AI Agent connects to MCP protocol hub to translate documents

How It Works

Three simple steps to translate documents with any MCP-compatible AI agent

Connect MCP configuration to server

Connect

Add the hosted URL as a connector, or drop the local server into your MCP config. Works with Claude, ChatGPT Work, Cursor, Codex and any MCP-compatible agent.

Document translation with language symbols

Translate

Attach a file and say what language you want. Your agent shows you a confirmation card with the page count and settings first — nothing is charged until you confirm.

Receive formatted translated documents

Receive

The translated file comes back as PDF, Word or PowerPoint with its layout intact, across 120+ languages. Ask for several formats at once at no extra cost.

Lightning fast speed icon

Lightning Fast

Documents translated in minutes, not days. Each call returns as soon as translation starts, so your agent queues the next file instead of blocking on the last one.

Built for Your Industry

Trusted by professionals who can't afford mistakes

Legal document translation

Legal

AI agents that translate contracts, NDAs, and court filings while maintaining legal formatting. Preserve every clause, every condition, every detail that matters.

Financial charts translation

Financial

Automated translation of financial reports, balance sheets, and statements. Numbers, charts, and tables rendered exactly as intended in any language.

Enterprise workflow translation

Enterprise

Scale document translation across global teams. Agents confirm each document before it is charged; for unattended pipelines, the raw bluente_translate_file tool starts translations without the gate.

Built for Developers

Bluente's MCP server is designed to work seamlessly with the tools developers already use. No vendor lock-in. No proprietary protocols.

Works with Claude, GPT, and any MCP-compatible agent Standard, open-source, interoperable
Supported file types In: PDF, DOCX, DOC, PPTX, PPT, XLSX, XLS, ODT, RTF, TXT, XML and more. Out: PDF, Word or PowerPoint — request several at once and the extra formats cost no extra credits. The MCP output format has no xlsx option, so use Bluente Web when you need a workbook back as a workbook.
One setting to get running The hosted server needs only its URL. The local server needs one environment variable, BLUENTE_API_KEY.
// The six tools your agent gets
bluente_get_supported_languages
bluente_upload_file
bluente_get_translation_status
bluente_translate_file
bluente_download_file
bluente_translate_document_workflow

// Hosted server only, for chat attachments:
bluente_create_upload_url

// You never call these by hand. You say:
"translate contract.pdf into Spanish"

// 1st call  -> page count + settings, nothing charged
// you confirm
// 2nd call  -> translation starts, file comes back
