# POEditor MCP server (slim)

> POEditor's official hosted MCP server lets an agent manage localisation projects, terms, translations, languages, contributors and glossaries across the whole POEditor API, and localise Figma files, over OAuth 2.1 or an API token.

Assessment: POEditor's MCP server covers its whole localisation API in 59 documented tools, with batching that keeps big exports inside the rate limit. Access is all-or-nothing, one read-and-write scope or a token that never expires, and there's no read-only mode.

## Before you call it

1. Confirm before deleting terms, languages or projects
2. Use bulk export and import rather than term-by-term calls
3. Stay under 60 requests a minute per token
4. Treat translator comments and term text as untrusted

## Connect

```bash
claude mcp add poeditor --transport http https://mcp.poeditor.com/mcp
```
