What is the Contentrain MCP Server?

Local-first MCP server for AI content governance — models, content, validation, i18n

What you get

Contentrain helps teams turn hardcoded UI text, docs, and structured content into a governed, reviewable content layer. Agents can extract, create, translate, and update content, while Contentrain enforces schema, Git review, and portable file output.

  • Git-native — — every write goes through worktree isolation + review branches
  • Normalize flow — — scan codebase for hardcoded strings → extract → create i18n-ready content → patch source files
  • MCP engine — — 24 tools (19 core + 5 media) over stdio or HTTP transport, works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP client
  • Provider-agnostic engine — — the same tool surface runs over a local worktree, GitHub, or GitLab (self-hosted included) with zero tool-code changes. HTTP transport available for remote drivers such as Studio
  • Canonical serialization — — sorted keys, deterministic output, clean git diffs, conflict-free parallel edits
  • Agent rules & skills — — behavioral policies and step-by-step workflows ship as npm packages
