This one needs environment variables set before it will start: HF_ENDPOINT (HuggingFace endpoint override for downloading models (e.g. https://hf-mirror.com for China).), HF_AUTO_MIRROR (Auto-detect HuggingFace mirror for China. Set to '0' or 'false' to disable.), CACHE_DIR (Directory where Transformers.js models are cached (defaults to ./models/).), TRANSLATE_DEVICE (Execution device: 'cpu' (default) or 'webgpu' for GPU acceleration.), HTTPS_PROXY (Proxy URL for model downloads. Also supports HTTP_PROXY and lowercase variants.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP Local Translate — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Local Translate?
MCP Local Translate runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @damoqiongqiu/mcp-local-translate was installed 60 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Local Translate?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @damoqiongqiu/mcp-local-translate straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Local Translate?
The npm package @damoqiongqiu/mcp-local-translate was installed 60 times in the last week. Week over week that is +103%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Local Translate open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
