## Trust

- hygiene: 80
- liveness: 0
- freshness: 85
- provenance: 85
- drivers: +repository +dns-namespace +website -unreachable(5 failures) ~updated-68d-ago -duplicate-repo(13 names)
- Derived from observable signals (official registry feed and our own credential-free probes); no code audit performed.

## Quality 100/100 (good)

### protocol: 100 (weight 25)

- pass `protocol.modern`: supports 2026-07-28 (server/discover)
- pass `protocol.stateless`: answers without a session
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- pass `protocol.list_ttl`: tool list is cacheable (ttlMs 300000)

### authorization: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `auth.prm`, `auth.as_metadata`, `auth.cimd`: no remote uses OAuth
- n/a `auth.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: 100 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description
- pass `tools.description_length`: descriptions are concise
- pass `tools.schemas`: every tool has an object input schema
- pass `tools.annotations`: 7 of 7 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- pass `tools.directory_hints`: every tool declares readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 1,261 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 100 (weight 15)

- pass `stability.changes`: no tool changes in 30 days
- pass `stability.rug_pull`: no tool changed its meaning under the same name

### dependencies: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `deps.known_vulns`, `deps.mcp_sdk_version`, `deps.resolvable`: no npm or PyPI package

- tools: 7, about 1,261 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 0171d36dc00531153c27567c9b9c89f8
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/com.ainetcafe/netcafe-translate.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/com.ainetcafe/netcafe-translate)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (7)

- `check_grammar`: Check text for grammar, spelling and style issues in 30+ languages (self-hosted LanguageTool). Returns each issue with a suggested replacement — apply them to produce corrected text. Example — GET https://ainetcafe.com/t/check_grammar?text=Their+going+to+the+park
- `check_job`: Get the status or result of a job started by deep_research, translate_pdf, or make_slides. Poll every 15-30 seconds until status is "done" or "error". While work is pending, follow retry_after_seconds and next_action; when complete, prefer structured_result when present. Example — GET https://ainetcafe.com/t/check_job?job_id=<id-from-a-job-tool>
- `translate_i18n_json`: Translate an i18n JSON locale file, keeping the key structure identical and placeholders ({name}, {{count}}, %s, HTML tags) intact. Pass existing_json to translate only the keys that are missing from it — the incremental sync people usually hand-roll a script for.
- `translate_pdf`: Translate a PDF from a URL while preserving the original layout — formulas, figures and two-column academic typesetting stay intact, unlike ordinary translators that flatten the document. Returns a job_id; poll check_job for the download links (translated-only and bilingual side-by-side). Typically 20-60 seconds for a few pages. Powered by PDFMathTranslate (36k stars) hosted at AI NetCafé. Example — tools/call translate_pdf {"url":"<pdf-url>","target":"zh"} → poll check_job
- `translate_srt`: Translate an .srt subtitle file into another language while keeping every timestamp and cue number byte-identical. Cues are anchored by index and refilled in code, so the timeline cannot drift — the usual failure mode when you hand a whole .srt to a model.
- `translate_text`: Translate text between languages using a self-hosted LibreTranslate engine (fully offline, no big-tech API). For whole PDFs with layout preserved, use translate_pdf instead. Example — GET https://ainetcafe.com/t/translate_text?text=hello+world&to=zh
- `what_can_you_do`: Describe a task in plain language (any language) and get back exactly which tools on this server do it, with ready-to-run example calls — instead of reading the whole catalogue and guessing. Also returns multi-step recipes when a task needs several tools chained (invoices to a ledger, a bank statement reconciled, a messy CSV turned into a deliverable). Deterministic and free: it calls no model, costs nothing, and never runs out of quota. Call this FIRST when you are not sure what this server offers.
