How do I install the kaeris mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `KAERIS_API_KEY`, `KAERIS_OPENROUTER_KEY`, `KAERIS_API_URL` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What it actually does

AI-native localization over the Model Context Protocol. Give Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code (or any MCP client) the ability to translate your app's strings into 46 languages — placeholder-safe, format-aware, incremental, with built-in Translation QA.

kaeris_list_languages	List all supported target languages
kaeris_translate	Translate inline strings → per-language results, with QA (placeholder-loss & UI-overflow flags; verify=True back-translates to check meaning)
kaeris_translate_file	Translate a file on disk (JSON/YAML/.strings/.po/ARB/XML/CSV/XLIFF/.properties/.resx/.ftl), optional incremental — reproducible via kaeris.lock
