Quickstart -- MCP

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ElizaOS, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "language-detector": {
      "url": "https://language-detector.api.klymax402.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Quickstart -- HTTP (x402)

curl -X POST "https://language-detector.api.klymax402.com/api/detect" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text":"..."}'
# -> 402 Payment Required, with an x402 payment challenge in the response body

Any x402-aware client (@x402/fetch, x402-agent-tools, ATXP) handles the 402 -> sign -> retry cycle automatically.

text_detect_language	POST	/api/detect	$0.005	Detect the language of input text with confidence scores and script identification

text_detect_language

Use this when you need to identify what language a text is written in. Uses n-gram frequency analysis to detect 30+ languages with confidence scores. Returns top 3 language matches, script detection (Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, CJK, Devanagari), and character statistics. Ideal for multilingual content routing, pre-translation detection, and content filtering. Do NOT use for translation — use text_translate. Do NOT use for sentiment — use text_analyze_sentiment.
