Overview

Set translation mode

MCPset_translation_modeWRITE$0.02 / call

Set the translation workflow mode for a workspace: 'auto' (Docsbook AI), 'manual' (drafts via API), or 'external' (forward to webhook). REQUIRES PRO or higher. BEFORE WRITING, call docsbook_expert with what you are trying to achieve: it answers what this page has to do, what to read before touching it, and what would make the result wrong — and it will tell you when the evidence is too thin to write from yet. One call, cheapest on the server, changes nothing.

Arguments
workspace_idstringrequired

Numeric workspace id — OR the project as the user names it: 'owner/repo', the repo name alone, the site's display name, its docs URL or custom domain. Text is resolved server-side; an ambiguous name returns the candidates instead of guessing, so pass what the user said rather than calling list_workspaces first.

modestringrequired

Translation workflow mode One of: auto, manual, external.

external_webhook_urlstringoptional

Webhook URL (required for 'external' mode, empty string clears)

Try it over REST#

The same tool is callable as a plain HTTP request, no MCP client required. It runs on the same server, at the same price.

Your workspace is resolved from the API key, so workspace_id is decided server-side here and anything you send for it is ignored.

Authorization
