# Smartling MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Smartling and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 248 Smartling actions (124 reads, 96 writes and 28 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Smartling credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Smartling's limits and records every call.

[Connect Smartling 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: "smartling.issue_severity_levels.list",
  intent: "check which Smartling account is connected"
}
# Get issue severity levels · read · 1 upstream call
```

- 248 actions in one signed file
- 124 read look, never change
- 96 write create and update
- 28 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first

Set up

## Connect Smartling 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 Smartling.
   Session login. actionlake opens the session and renews it when it expires. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.
   - `user_identifier` Smartling API user identifier
   - `user_secret` Smartling API token secret, shown once when the API token is created
   ```
   account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "smartling" }
   # 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: "smartling.issue_severity_levels.list" }
   # get issue severity levels · read · 1 upstream call
   check { action: "smartling.projects.copy", input: { … } }
   # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent
   ```

Top actions

## The Smartling API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 4 of Smartling's 4 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

| Action | What it does | Effect | Same name in |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `smartling.projects.list` List projects | Returns the list of projects for the account. | read | `work.project.list` 109 connectors |

| `smartling.projects.get` Get project details | Returns the details of a project. | read | `work.project.get` 106 connectors |
| `smartling.projects.copy` Copy an existing project | Make a copy of an existing project, thereby creating a new one with a new name. | write | `work.project.copy` 8 connectors |
| `smartling.jobs.list` List jobs within a project | List / search the jobs within a project. | read | this connector |
| `smartling.tags.list` List tags within a project | List / search tags within a project. | read | this connector |
| `smartling.jobs.search` Search for job | This searches for jobs based on hashcodes (string identifiers), `fileUri`s, and `translationJobUid`s. | read | this connector |
| `smartling.issues.count` Count project issues | Returns a count of issues matching specified filter options. | read | this connector |
| `smartling.locales.list` List locales | The list of available locales within Smartling. | read | this connector |
| `smartling.jobs.create` Create job | Creates a job within Smartling. | write | this connector |

Try it

## Prompts to paste into Claude.

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

1. Read read
   Give me a one-line status for every active Smartling project.
   calls `smartling.projects.list`
2. Write write
   Copy an existing project in Smartling. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.
   calls `smartling.projects.copy`

- Remove locale from job `smartling.job_locales.delete`
- Remove strings from job `smartling.job_strings.delete`
- Remove tags from strings `smartling.string_tags.delete`
- Delete contexts `smartling.contexts.delete_batch`
- Delete comment `smartling.issue_comments.delete`
- Delete account issue subtype `smartling.issue_subtypes.delete`
- Delete glossary label `smartling.glossary_labels.delete`
- Delete issue attribute (assigneeUserUid) `smartling.issues.delete_assignee`

- Remove glossary entries `smartling.glossary_entries.delete`
- Delete profile `smartling.quality_profiles.delete`
- Remove string assignments `smartling.string_assignments.delete`

- Delete quality check type group by group identifier `smartling.quality_check_groups.delete`
- Delete a custom quality check `smartling.custom_quality_checks.delete`
- Delete subscription `smartling.webhook_subscriptions.delete`
- Remove word from user custom dictionary `smartling.custom_dictionary_words.delete`

- Delete locale from custom quality check group `smartling.custom_quality_check_groups.remove_locale`
- Cancel job `smartling.jobs.cancel`
- Cancel file translation `smartling.file_machine_translations.cancel`

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 smartling.jobs.delete confirm_policy: **human**

Delete job?

**intent:** the user asked me to delete job

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

In the console, or from an emailed signed link.

a key for this connector

```
account {
  op: "keys.create", name: "smartling-agent",
  allowed_actions: ["smartling.*"], cap_calls: 2000,
  confirm_policy: "human_for_writes",
  approval_rules: [
    { match: "smartling.jobs.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "smartling.contexts.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "smartling.job_files.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }
  ]
}
```

Illustrative. Scoped to Smartling only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed, and the destructive ones approved by a named person.

Questions

## The Smartling MCP server, answered.

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

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 248 Smartling actions across jobs, issues, glossary entries and webhook subscriptions, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Smartling.

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

Smartling API user identifier and Smartling API token secret, shown once when the API token is created. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "smartling" } lists exactly what to paste.

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

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 28 Smartling actions are destructive, including delete job, delete the context and remove file from job. 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 Smartling API limit?**

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Smartling service file: 600 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (75 Smartling actions can be), which never reaches Smartling.

**What does a Smartling action cost?**

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (248 Smartling actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Smartling 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 Smartling API does it cover?**

The Smartling REST API (OpenAPI 3.0.0, 2.0.0) at api.smartling.com. It is built from Smartling's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 248 actions in 90 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

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

actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 5 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 Smartling 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.
