💡 Key Use Cases in AI Workflows

Lara MCP Server can be deployed in a variety of scenarios to enhance AI applications:

1. Automated Translation: Translate document content from one language to another while maintaining context.
2. Multilingual Chatbots: Enable seamless communication between users speaking different languages.

Technical Implementation Example: Automated Document Translation

Using Lara MCP Server, you can implement automatic translation in a multi-language application as follows:

import requests

def translate_document(document: str, target_language: str):
    # Sending request through Lara MCPServer protocol and receiving translated content
    response = requests.post(
        "http://localhost:3001/mcp/translate",
        json={
            "content": document,
            "target_language": target_language
        }
    )
    
    return response.json()

Technical Implementation Example: Multilingual Chatbot

A multilingual chatbot could use Lara MCP Server to translate incoming and outgoing messages ensuring all users are understood:

import requests

def handle_message(message: str):
    # Translating user message to all supported languages
    for lang in ["en", "es", "fr"]:
        response = requests.post(
            "http://localhost:3001/mcp/translate",
            json={
                "content": message,
                "target_language": lang
            }
        )
        yield f"[{lang}] {response.json()}"
