Nativ MCP Server brings Nativ’s AI-powered localization engine directly into your AI coding workflow, letting you translate and manage content in-context from your editor while respecting your brand voice, translation memory, glossaries, and style guides.

How to use

Use this MCP server to connect your AI coding assistant (such as Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and similar tools) to Nativ for real-time translation, TM-aware consistency checks, and style guidance. You can translate individual strings, check or update translations against your translation memory, and batch-localize content across multiple languages without leaving your editor.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing: a working Node.js environment and access to a Nativ API key. You also need a tool that supports MCP, such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf, configured to load MCP servers.

Follow these steps to set up the MCP server in your editor configuration. You will create a local MCP server entry that launches via npm/npx and uses your API key.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nativ": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "nativ-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "NATIV_API_KEY": "nativ_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Alternative startup method with uvx

If you already have uv installed and prefer to bypass the npm wrapper, you can start using uvx directly.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nativ": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["nativ-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "NATIV_API_KEY": "nativ_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Notes for macOS users

If you encounter spawn errors related to PATH inheritance in GUI apps, use the full path to the executable or wrap the command in a login shell. For example, use "/Users/you/.local/bin/uvx" as the command path or run "/bin/sh -lc 'uvx nativ-mcp'".
