Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.01692 | $0.01692 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00846 | $0.00846 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00338 | $0.00338 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00169 | $0.00169 |
Grade A, and why
lara-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Overview
Lara Translate MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides translation capabilities through the Lara Translate API. The server supports both STDIO and HTTP transport modes.

Architecture
Server Modes
The server operates in two transport modes determined by the TRANSPORT environment variable:
-
STDIO Mode (
src/index.ts:56-75): Direct MCP server using stdio transport, requiresLARA_ACCESS_KEY_IDandLARA_ACCESS_KEY_SECRETenvironment variables. -
HTTP Mode (
src/index.ts:42-54): REST API server with MCP protocol endpoint at/v1
Core Components
MCP Server (src/mcp/server.ts)
The server factory function getMcpServer(accessKeyId, accessKeySecret) creates an MCP server instance with:
accessKeyId: The Lara Translate API access key IDaccessKeySecret: The Lara Translate API access key secret
The server initializes a Translator instance from the @translated/lara SDK and configures MCP request handlers for tools and resources.
Tools (src/mcp/tools/)
All MCP tools are organized in individual files under src/mcp/tools/:
Translation Tools:
translate.ts- Main translation with context, instructions, memory support, and glossaries- Advanced options:
glossaries(array of glossary IDs, max 10),no_trace(privacy flag),priority(normal/background),timeout_in_millis(max 300000ms) - Validation includes format checks for glossary IDs (
gls_*pattern) and timeout limits
- Advanced options:
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

lara-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository translated/lara-mcp (97 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 1,692 tokens to every session, about $0.0085 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
