Ollang MCP in Cursor

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor built on VS Code. With Ollang MCP, you can manage translations directly from your development environment.

Setup

1

Open MCP settings

Go to Settings > Cursor Settings > Tools & MCP and click “New MCP Server”.
2

Add Ollang MCP

Create or edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ollang": {
      "url": "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
3

Authenticate

When Cursor connects to the server, a browser window opens for Ollang sign-in. Complete the authentication and return to Cursor.
4

Start using Ollang

Open Cursor’s AI chat (Cmd+L / Ctrl+L) and start asking about translations.

Use Cases

Localize i18n files during development

When working on an internationalized app, you can translate JSON locale files on the fly:
Upload my en.json locale file to Ollang and create document translation
orders for fr.json, de.json, and ja.json. Use the source language "en".

Translate code documentation

Take the JSDoc comments from src/api/client.ts, upload them to Ollang
for document translation to Spanish, and show me the translated text.

Manage translation orders from your editor

Show me all my Ollang orders from the last week. Which ones are still
in progress?

Create translation guidelines for your project

Create a custom instruction in Ollang called "Mobile App UI" with content:
"Keep strings short for mobile screens. Use informal tone. Translate
UI abbreviations contextually. Keep brand names in English."

Multi-Server Configuration

Combine Ollang with other MCP servers for powerful workflows:
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ollang": {
      "url": "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp"
    },
    "notion": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@notionhq/notion-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "NOTION_TOKEN": "ntn_XXXX"
      }
    }
  }
}
Cursor supports both project-scoped (.cursor/mcp.json) and global (~/.cursor/mcp.json) MCP configurations. Use project-scoped for team projects and global for personal tools.
