Quick Start

Get started with Ollang MCP in under 5 minutes.

Quick Start

Connect your AI assistant to Ollang’s translation platform in three steps.

Prerequisites

• An Ollang account (free to sign up)
• An MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor)

Setup

Claude Desktop

Open your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS

open ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add the Ollang MCP server:

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ollang": {
      "url": "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop to apply the changes.

Claude Code

Run the following command in your terminal:

claude mcp add ollang --transport sse https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp

Or add it to your project’s .mcp.json:

.mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ollang": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Open Settings > Cursor Settings > Tools & MCP, click “New MCP Server”, and add:

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ollang": {
      "url": "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Authenticate

When your AI client first connects to the Ollang MCP server, it will open a browser window for authentication.

1. Sign in

   Enter your email to receive a one-time code, or sign in with Google or GitHub.

2. Authorize

   Grant the MCP server access to your Ollang account.

3. Return to your AI client

   The browser will confirm the connection. Return to your AI assistant — Ollang tools are now available.

3. Return the order details and status
