# Lokalise MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Lokalise and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 114 Lokalise actions (54 reads, 39 writes and 21 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Lokalise credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Lokalise's limits and records every call.

[Connect Lokalise free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing)

100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you.

`claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp`

the first call

```
do {
  action: "lokalise.projects.list",
  intent: "check which Lokalise account is connected"

```

- 114 actions in one signed file
- 54 read look, never change
- 39 write create and update
- 21 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first

Set up

## Connect Lokalise in three steps.

1. 01
   ### Add actionlake to Claude.
   Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.
   `https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp`
2. 02
   ### Connect Lokalise.
   API key. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.
   - `api_token` Lokalise API token: in Lokalise, click your avatar > Profile settings > API tokens > Generate new token (read and…
   ```
   account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "lokalise" }
   # free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you
   ```
3. 03
   ### Make the first call. Check before a write.
   Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, `check` validates the call and prices it, for free.
   ```
   do    { action: "lokalise.projects.list" }
   # list all projects · read · 1 upstream call
   check { action: "lokalise.tasks.create", input: { … } }
   # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent
   ```

Top actions

## The Lokalise API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 32 of Lokalise's 32 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Try it

## Prompts to paste into Claude.

Each one names the Lokalise actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it.

1. Read read
   Which Lokalise tasks are overdue, and who owns each one?
   calls `lokalise.tasks.list`
2. Write write
   Create a task in Lokalise. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.
   calls `lokalise.tasks.create`

Governance for Lokalise

## Destructive actions wait for a yes.

21 Lokalise actions are destructive. These are all of them:

- Delete a task `lokalise.tasks.delete`
- Delete a project `lokalise.projects.delete`
- Delete a team user `lokalise.team_users.delete`
- Delete a group `lokalise.groups.delete`
- Delete a webhook `lokalise.webhooks.delete`
- Delete a key `lokalise.keys.delete`
- Delete a file `lokalise.files.delete`
- Delete a comment `lokalise.comments.delete`
- Delete a language `lokalise.languages.delete`
- Delete a screenshot `lokalise.screenshots.delete`
- Delete a contributor `lokalise.contributors.delete`
- Delete glossary terms `lokalise.glossary_terms.delete_many`
- Empty a project `lokalise.projects.empty`
- Delete a branch `lokalise.branches.delete`
- Delete multiple keys `lokalise.keys.delete_many`
- Delete a snapshot `lokalise.snapshots.delete`
- Delete a card `lokalise.payment_cards.delete`
- Remove members from group `lokalise.groups.remove_members`
- Remove projects from group `lokalise.groups.remove_projects`
- Delete all contributors `lokalise.contributors.delete_all`
- Delete a status `lokalise.translation_statuses.delete`

A destructive action runs only with `confirm: true`. Under the `human` policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.

do lokalise.tasks.delete confirm_policy: **human**

Delete a task?

**intent:** the user asked me to delete a task

run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _lokalise-agent_ cannot confirm itself

In the console, or from an emailed signed link.

Questions

## The Lokalise MCP server, answered.

**Is there a Lokalise MCP server for Claude?**

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 114 Lokalise actions across contributors, groups, keys and branches, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Lokalise.

**What do I need to connect Lokalise?**

Lokalise API token: in Lokalise, click your avatar > Profile settings > API tokens > Generate new token (read and…. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "lokalise" } lists exactly what to paste.

**Can an AI agent delete or change things in Lokalise?**

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 21 Lokalise actions are destructive, including delete a task, delete a project and delete a team user. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.

**Will an AI agent use up my Lokalise API limit?**

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Lokalise service file: 6 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (47 Lokalise actions can be), which never reaches Lokalise.

**What does a Lokalise action cost?**

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (114 Lokalise actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Lokalise refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

**Which Lokalise API does it cover?**

The Lokalise API v2 (OpenAPI 3.0.3) at api.lokalise.com/api2. It is built from Lokalise's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 114 actions in 28 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

**Does actionlake keep my Lokalise data, and where?**

actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 2 minutes, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Lokalise credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.

**Which AI clients can use it?**

Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
