Crowdin for AI agents

Crowdin manages software localization, letting teams centralize source strings and translations and automate the workflow of getting content fully translated. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Crowdin connects.

Users sign in to Crowdin on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Crowdin OAuth app, or bring your own so the Crowdin consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

The same Crowdin connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Crowdin and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Crowdin with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Crowdin to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Crowdin actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Crowdin?

Users sign in to Crowdin on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Crowdin OAuth app, or bring your own so the Crowdin consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

Q03

Which Crowdin actions can my agent take?

231 in total: 121 read, 76 write and 34 destructive, such as “add Translation Memory”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Crowdin?

Yes. Actions like “delete Translation Memory” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Crowdin too?

Yes. The same Crowdin connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
