create_memory
Create a named translation memory to store reusable source-target text pairs for consistent future translations.
Instructions
Create a translation memory with a custom name in your Lara Translate account. Translation memories store pairs of source and target text segments (translation units) for reuse in future translations.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| external_id | No | The ID of the memory to be imported from MyMemory. Use this to initialize the memory with external content. Format: ext_my_[MyMemory ID] |
Implementation Reference
- src/mcp/tools/create_memory.ts:21-25 (handler)The actual handler function that executes the create_memory tool. It validates args using createMemorySchema, then calls lara.memories.create(name, external_id).
export async function createMemory(args: any, lara: Translator) { const validatedArgs = createMemorySchema.parse(args); const { name, external_id } = validatedArgs; return await lara.memories.create(name, external_id); } - src/mcp/tools/create_memory.ts:4-19 (schema)Zod schema for create_memory input validation. Defines 'name' (required, string, max 250 chars) and 'external_id' (optional string for importing from MyMemory).
export const createMemorySchema = z.object({ name: z .string() .describe( "The name of the new memory, it should be short and generic, like 'catch_phrases' or 'brand_names'" ) .refine((name) => name.length <= 250, { message: "Name of the memory can't be more than 250 characters", }), external_id: z .string() .describe( "The ID of the memory to be imported from MyMemory. Use this to initialize the memory with external content. Format: ext_my_[MyMemory ID]" ) .optional(), }); - src/mcp/tools.ts:51-51 (registration)Registration of create_memory in the handlers map, mapping the tool name to the createMemory handler function.
create_memory: createMemory, - src/mcp/tools.ts:231-242 (registration)Tool definition registration including name, description, inputSchema, and annotations (title, readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, openWorldHint).

Translation memories store pairs of source and target text segments (translation units) for reuse in future translations.", inputSchema: z.toJSONSchema(createMemorySchema), annotations: { title: "Create translation memory", readOnlyHint: false, destructiveHint: false, openWorldHint: false, }, }, - src/mcp/tools.ts:103-104 (registration)Narration/response formatting for create_memory tool results (e.g., 'Created translation memory "..."').
