About

Lokalise ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 31 actions, 3 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Lokalise is a translation and localization management platform: strings live as keys with per-language translations, organized into projects, exported as files in the format each platform (iOS, Android, web, …) expects.

This app covers the path a workflow actually needs around that: manage projects and their languages, create and update keys and translations, upload a source file for Lokalise to parse and queue for translation, and export a project’s current translations as a downloadable bundle. Beyond the core content, it covers contributors (who can translate what), comments (in-context notes on a key), tasks (assigning translation work with a due date) and webhooks (reacting to a translation event instead of polling for it).

A structural fact shapes every ‘create’ action here: Lokalise’s create endpoints are bulk-only — even creating one key, language, contributor or comment means POSTing an array of one, and a 200 response can still carry a per-item ‘errors’ array for partial failure. Every bulk action in this app surfaces that array rather than assuming HTTP success means every item succeeded.

Build with Lokalise

Three routes to the same 31 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Lokalise's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

Add Comments

comment-create

Add one or more comments to a key.

List Project Comments

comment-list

Invite Contributors

contributor-create

Invite one or more contributors to the project.

List Contributors

Create Keys

key-create

Create one or more keys, each with its per-language translations.

Delete Key

key-delete

Delete a single key from the project.

Get Key

key-get

Retrieve a single key, including its per-language translations.

List Keys

key-list

List a project's translation keys.

Update Key

key-update

Add Languages

language-create

Add one or more languages to a project.

List Project Languages

language-list

List the languages configured for a project.

List System Languages

language-list-system

List every language Lokalise supports, independent of any project.

Get Process

process-get

Check the status of an async process, such as a queued file import.

Create Project

project-create

Create a new project.

Delete Project

project-delete

Permanently delete a project.

Get Project

project-get

Retrieve a project's details.

List Projects

project-list

List the projects this token can access.

Update Project

project-update

Update a project's name and/or description.

Create Task

task-create

Create a translation task, assigning keys and languages to contributors.

List Tasks

task-list

List the project's translation tasks.

List Teams

team-list

List the teams this token can see, including plan and quota usage.

Get Translation

translation-get

Retrieve a single translation item by id.

List Translations

translation-list

List all translation items in a project, one row per key/language pair.

Update Translation

translation-update

Set a translation's text and/or its unverified/reviewed flags.

Create Webhook

webhook-create

Subscribe a URL to project events. Not deduplicated — a retry creates a second webhook.

Delete Webhook

webhook-delete

Delete a webhook by id.

List Webhooks

webhook-list

List the project's webhooks. The result includes each webhook's signing secret — treat it as sensitive.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Lokalise's real ids.

  "manifestVersion": "2",
  "name": "lokalise-example",
  "steps": [

+26 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Lokalise, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Lokalise. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "comment-create",
  payload: {
    projectId: "<value>",
    keyId: "<value>",
    comments: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action comment-create --payload '{"projectId":"<value>","keyId":"<value>","comments":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent Lokalise — without giving it Lokalise's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.lokalise#comment-create",
    "input": {
      "projectId": "<projectId>",
      "keyId": "<keyId>",
      "comments": "<comments>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Lokalise connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Lokalise's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Lokalise itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

Lokalise declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.

service

Component status from status.lokalise.com: Lokalise.com, Lokalise API, Lokalise App, Lokalise OTA and Lokalise Messages.

quota

Plan headroom
