MCP for localization: How to connect AI agents to your translation workflow
You're in Cursor, working on a new feature, and you need to add a localization key. That means leaving your IDE, opening your TMS, navigating to the right project, making the change, and coming back. Then, doing this all over again the next time you need to check untranslated strings, create a task, or touch anything localization-related. Model Context Protocol (MCP) removes this context-switching loop entirely. Instead of bouncing between tools, your AI coding assistant can inter

Lokalise gives developers two programmatic ways to manage localization workflows: the REST API and the MCP Server.

Figma Config changed the localization game for designers. Here’s how to connect Figma’s native AI agent to Lokalise via MCP — and manage translations without leaving your canvas. Something significant shifted at Figma Config. Figma introduced a native AI agent built directly into the app — and it can connect to external tools through MCP (Model Context Protocol, an open standard that lets AI assistants talk to other software). For designers who localize
