SRT Translation MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for processing and translating SRT subtitle files with intelligent conversation detection and context preservation.

Features

• SRT File Processing: Parse, validate, and manipulate SRT subtitle files

• Large File Support: Intelligent chunking for processing large SRT files

• Conversation Detection: Context-aware analysis for better translation quality

• Style Tag Preservation: Maintain HTML-style formatting during translation

• Timing Synchronization: Preserve precise timing information

• MCP Integration: Standardized interface for AI assistant integration

Installation

Usage

As an MCP Server

Available MCP Tools
