3. Try it

Ask your assistant:

List all my POEditor projects

Tools

The live tool list is served by the MCP endpoint via tools/list. Categories below reflect current coverage.

Full schema: see docs/tools.md.

Authentication

• Token — POEditor API token, passed as Authorization: Bearer <token> header

• OAuth 2.1 (PKCE) — supported for one-click connect in Claude Code, Claude.ai Connectors, and compatible clients

Token scope: user's own projects only. No cross-tenant access. See Authentication.

Export formats

export_strings_file returns a download URL for the generated file. Any format POEditor supports can be requested — the LLM can read, parse, and work with the content directly regardless of format. See docs/tools.md for the full format list.

Examples

List all my POEditor projects
Show me untranslated terms in project 123456 for Spanish
Add the term "checkout_button" with English value "Check out" to project 123456
