## About LILT MCP with LuumenAI

Connect LILT and your team can ask about localization work in plain language. Check where a translation job stands, list jobs and trained models, pull a download link for finished work, and read remaining credit balances. When something needs to change — a verified translation job, a file upload, a new trained model — the agent shows the plan first and waits for your approval. Luumen connects through OAuth with dynamic client registration.

## Example tools

- `LILT_MCP_CHECK_JOB_STATUS` — Checks the status of a verified translation job.
- `LILT_MCP_DOWNLOAD_JOB` — Triggers a job export and returns a download link for the completed job.
