# Quick Start

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

## Prerequisites

* An [Ollang account](https://lab.ollang.com) (free to sign up)
* An MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor)

## Setup

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Claude Desktop">
    Open your Claude Desktop configuration file:

    <CodeGroup>
      ```bash macOS theme={null}
      open ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
      ```

      ```bash Windows theme={null}
      notepad %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
      ```

      ```bash Linux theme={null}
      nano ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    Add the Ollang MCP server:

    ```json claude_desktop_config.json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "ollang": {
          "url": "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp"
        }
      }
    }
    ```

    Restart Claude Desktop to apply the changes.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Claude Code">
    Run the following command in your terminal:

    ```bash theme={null}
    claude mcp add ollang --transport sse https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp
    ```

    Or add it to your project's `.mcp.json`:

    ```json .mcp.json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "ollang": {
          "type": "sse",
          "url": "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp"
        }
      }
    }
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Cursor">
    Open **Settings > Cursor Settings > Tools & MCP**, click **"New MCP Server"**, and add:

    ```json .cursor/mcp.json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "ollang": {
          "url": "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp"
        }
      }
    }
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Authenticate

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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in">
    Enter your email to receive a one-time code, or sign in with Google or GitHub.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize">
    Grant the MCP server access to your Ollang account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Return to your AI client">
    The browser will confirm the connection. Return to your AI assistant — Ollang tools are now available.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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:

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