Translator for LLM agents
Your agent can operate the video workflow.
Translator's open-source developer build exposes local MCP tools for finding, downloading, opening, translating, styling, and organizing video. The finished desktop app remains one direct download away for everyone else.
Start here
Connect the local MCP server.
Clone the open-source developer build, install it, and point your MCP host at the final command. The interface runs locally and is not yet bundled into the finished installers.
git clone https://github.com/mikey1384/translator.git
cd translator
npm install
npm run agent:mcpConfigure your MCP host to run npm run agent:mcp from the cloned repository. The server uses local stdio; there is no public remote Translator MCP endpoint.
What it can do
Real controls, not screen guessing.
The tools have named inputs and structured results. An agent does not need to hunt through the interface or depend on where a button happens to be today.
Control the viewing workspace
Open videos and SRT files, switch between original, translation, or dual subtitles, choose Default, Classic, Boxed, or LineBox styling, and move to any app page the user asks to see.
Translate and review subtitles
Work through SRT files in context-preserving batches, edit translations by stable cue ID, and export source, translated, or dual-language SRT files.
Manage the app safely
Inspect or change Settings without revealing saved provider keys. An agent can open a Stage5 checkout page, but the user must enter and submit payment details.
Deliberate boundaries
The user stays in control.
Translator gives the agent useful controls without handing it payment details, stored secrets, or invisible authority.
- 01File-writing and network actions remain visible to the MCP host and should keep its normal approval controls.
- 02Saved provider keys are never returned. An agent can open the right checkout page, but it cannot read, enter, or submit card details.
- 03SRT translation and review can use the connected LLM session. Transcription, dubbing, Stage5 services, and third-party model accounts keep their normal costs and credentials.
Direct artifacts
No button hunting required.
These are stable latest-version URLs. A person or agent can choose the platform explicitly and follow the link directly.
