Colophon MCP

An MCP server that allows agents to request quotes for translation and localization services, or to obtain pricing for licensing images, footage, music, typefaces, and patents. It facilitates the process of getting terms from translators or rights holders without placing an order until the buyer agrees.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Colophon helps publishers, brands, law firms and companies entering a market get a translation quoted (language pair, volume, subject field, certification and deadline) or a licence for an image, footage, music, a typeface or a patent priced (the use, territory, term and media). Colophon looks at every request and replies when it can find a translator or the rights holder; nothing is ordered until the buyer agrees terms. Use list_propositions to see Colophon's services, describe_proposition for one of them, then submit_request or an operation tool.
