Quick Start

Connect your AI assistant to Ollang’s translation platform in three steps.

Prerequisites

An Ollang account (free to sign up)
An MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Hermes Agent, Grok Build, or OpenClaw)

Setup

Open your Claude Desktop configuration file:

open ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

notepad %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

nano ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add the Ollang MCP server:

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ollang": {
      "url": "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop to apply the changes.

Run the following command in your terminal:

claude mcp add ollang --transport http https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp

Or add it to your project’s .mcp.json:

.mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ollang": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Open Settings > Cursor Settings > Tools & MCP, click “New MCP Server”, and add:

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ollang": {
      "url": "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add Ollang to ~/.hermes/config.yaml:

~/.hermes/config.yaml

mcp_servers:
  ollang:
    url: "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp"
    auth: oauth

Use /reload-mcp after changing the configuration.

Add Ollang to ~/.grok/config.toml:

~/.grok/config.toml

[mcp_servers.ollang]
url = "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp"

Run grok inspect to confirm that Grok discovered the server.

Add Ollang under mcp.servers in the OpenClaw JSON5 configuration:

{
  mcp: {
    servers: {
      ollang: {
        url: "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp",
        transport: "streamable-http",
        auth: "oauth"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code now recommends HTTP for remote MCP servers. SSE remains supported for clients that require it.

Authenticate

When your AI client first connects to the Ollang MCP server, it will open a browser window for authentication.

Enter your email to receive a one-time code, or sign in with Google or GitHub.

Authorize

Grant the MCP server access to your Ollang account.

Return to your AI client

The browser will confirm the connection. Return to your AI assistant — Ollang tools are now available.

Your First Translation

Try asking your AI assistant:

Upload this video from https://example.com/video.mp4 and create a subtitle
translation order to French and Spanish.

The assistant will:

Call uploadFile to upload the video to Ollang
Call createOrder with subtitle type and French + Spanish targets
Return the order details and status

Example Prompts

Translate a document

Upload my-document.pdf from Dropbox and translate it to German, Japanese, and Korean.

Check order status

Show me all my recent Ollang orders and their statuses.

Run quality check

Run a QC evaluation on order #12345 checking accuracy and fluency.

Create translation guidelines

Create a custom instruction called "Tech Docs Style" that says:
Use formal tone, keep technical terms in English, and use metric units.

Review subtitles

Download and read the subtitles from this VTT file URL and check for any issues.

Other MCP Clients

Windsurf

Add Ollang to the global ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ollang": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf uses serverUrl for remote servers; a plain url is silently ignored. Windsurf is global-config only. Press Refresh in the MCP toolbar after editing.

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Add .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "ollang": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Run MCP: List Servers from the Command Palette.

Gemini CLI

Add Ollang under mcpServers in settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ollang": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

httpUrl is for Streamable HTTP; url is for SSE. When both are present, httpUrl takes precedence.

Codex CLI

Run:

codex mcp add ollang --url https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp

Cline (VS Code)

Add a remote server through Cline’s MCP settings UI using:

https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp
