Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Lokalise

Ask your AI which keys are still untranslated in a Lokalise project, or have it fix a translation and mark it reviewed. It can add keys and languages, check the glossary, leave comments for translators and create translation or review tasks. When a release is ready, it can export the project's translations as files.

Try asking

“Which keys in the mobile app project are still missing a German translation?”
The AI finds the project and language, then lists the untranslated German translations.
“Change the Danish text for checkout.button to "Gå til betaling" and mark it reviewed.”
It finds the key, updates the Danish translation and marks it as reviewed.
“Add the keys onboarding.title and onboarding.subtitle for iOS and Android.”
It checks the existing keys to avoid duplicates, then creates the two keys for both platforms.

What your AI can do

Keys and translations

List, create and update keys, read and change translations, and filter by untranslated, reviewed or unverified.

Projects and languages

Find and create projects, see progress, add languages and read contributors, glossary terms and files.

Tasks, comments and exports

Create and update translation and review tasks, comment on keys, and export translations as files.

“Create a review task for all new French strings, due Friday, and assign it to Marie.”
It creates the task with the keys, French as the language and Marie as assignee. Marie is notified.
“Does our glossary have an approved term for "invoice"?”
It reads the project's glossary terms and tells you what is listed.
“Export the web project as JSON, only English and Spanish.”
It exports the translations as JSON files for those two languages and returns a download link to a zip.

Questions

What can the AI do in Lokalise?

The AI can list and read projects, keys, translations, languages, tasks, contributors, glossary terms, files and comments. It can create projects, keys and tasks, add languages and comments, update keys, translations and tasks, export files and delete a key.

Does the AI see my Lokalise API token?

No. Your Lokalise API token is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. Deleting a key removes it and all its translations for good, and it can require your approval before it runs. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan, and you do not need a credit card to start. Paid plans are billed per completed task. You also need your own Lokalise account.

Can I give the AI read-only access?

Yes. When you generate the token in Lokalise, you choose Read/write or Read-only. With a Read-only token, Lokalise itself blocks any changes, on top of the tools you switch on in PipMCP. The AI's access also follows your own permissions in each project.
