Standard MCP tools
Understand the 11 task-shaped AI Glot MCP tools, their required scopes, side effects and the supported-language resource.
The standard server exposes task-shaped tools rather than copying every REST endpoint one for one.
Account and usage tools
| Tool | Scope | What it does |
|---|---|---|
get_account | account:read | Reads workspace, plan, credits, limits and capabilities |
get_credit_balance | account:read | Reads balance and every credit grant |
get_usage | usage:read | Reads credits, words and completed translations over time |
These tools are read-only and consume no credits.
Translation tools
| Tool | Scope | What it does |
|---|---|---|
list_batches | batches:read | Lists existing translations with cursor pagination |
get_batch | batches:read | Reads one translation and its progress |
get_batch_result_link | batches:read | Returns a 30-minute download link for a completed result |
update_batch | batches:write | Renames, archives or restores a translation |
The result-link tool returns a URL, never raw CSV content. update_batch changes housekeeping metadata only and is reversible when archiving.
Glossary tools
| Tool | Scope | What it does |
|---|---|---|
list_glossaries | glossaries:read | Lists language pairs, term counts and plan limits |
get_glossary | glossaries:read | Reads every term in one glossary |
edit_glossary_terms | glossaries:write | Creates if missing, then adds, changes, removes or fully replaces terms |
delete_glossary | glossaries:write | Permanently deletes a glossary and all its terms |
edit_glossary_terms is additive by default. replace_all: true deletes every term absent from the supplied map. delete_glossary is explicitly marked destructive so supporting clients can require confirmation.
Language resource
Supported languages are exposed as the cacheable MCP resource:
aiglot://languagesIt is a resource rather than a twelfth tool because it is static reference data. Read it before creating a language-pair glossary.
Tool results and errors
Every tool has an input and output schema and returns structured content. Errors are returned as readable tool results with a stable code and documentation URL, allowing the model to correct the request instead of treating a business error as a broken MCP connection.
Copy this into an MCP-enabled assistant after connecting AI Glot.
Review my AI Glot account, credit balance and the last 30 days of usage. Then list recent failed or still-running translations, explain anything unusual, and do not modify or archive any data.
