Update languages

MCPupdate_languagesWRITE$0.02 / call

Set the languages the site is served in — the call for 'we need docs in Spanish and German', «нужна документация на испанском». REQUIRES PRO plan. enabled_languages REPLACES the whole set, so pass the existing languages plus the new ones (read them from get_workspace first). Enabling a language does not translate anything by itself: run_translation_pass starts the first pass, and later passes follow the workspace's translation mode. Supported codes: en, es, fr, de, pt, it, ru, zh, ja, ko, ar, hi, tr, pl, nl. Translated pages are served at https://.docsbook.io/// — language is always a PATH SEGMENT under the user subdomain, never a subdomain itself (never https://.docsbook.io/). default_language is the docs' own source language (auto-detected from the repo README when the project is connected) — it is silently dropped from enabled_languages if included, since the docs are already written in it and there is nothing to translate. BEFORE CHANGING THIS, call docsbook_expert with what you are trying to achieve: it names the reading that should decide the value, so the setting is a conclusion rather than a guess. One call, 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.

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.

POST/api/v1/tools/update_languages
Authorization
Authorizationstringrequired

Your API key, sent as Authorization: Bearer dbk_YOUR_API_KEY.Sent as the Authorization header. Your key is used only by your browser for this request — it is never sent to Docsbook or stored.

The arguments above, as one JSON object.
