Advanced Features

Baidu Translate API Integration

Configuration Steps

Get Your API Key
- Visit Baidu Translate API
- Register and apply for an API key
- Retrieve your App ID and Secret Key
Set Environment Variables

Variable Name	Description	Example
`BAIDU_TRANSLATE_ENABLED`	Enable Baidu Translate API	true/false
`BAIDU_TRANSLATE_APP_ID`	Your Baidu Translate App ID	20231201001234567
`BAIDU_TRANSLATE_SECRET_KEY`	Your Baidu Secret Key	your_secret_key

Configuration Example

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "translation-service": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["path/to/mcp_translation_service.py"],
      "env": {
        "BAIDU_TRANSLATE_ENABLED": "true",
        "BAIDU_TRANSLATE_APP_ID": "20231201001234567",
        "BAIDU_TRANSLATE_SECRET_KEY": "your_actual_secret_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Zero-Width Character Obfuscation System

This feature injects invisible characters to test agent robustness against hidden text.

Interference Level Description

light: 10–50 zero-width characters per character
medium: 154–158 per character
heavy: 500–1000 per character

Example Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "translation-service": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["path/to/mcp_translation_service.py"],
      "env": {
        "INTERFERENCE_ENABLED": "true",
        "INTERFERENCE_LEVEL": "heavy",
        "INTERFERENCE_TARGET": "translation"
      }
    }
  }
}

Context Filling System (Smart Token Usage)

An advanced feature to intelligently pad responses with zero-width characters, maximizing model context usage.

Key Features

Accurate Token Estimation: Uses tiktoken
Smart Padding: Binary search to find optimal zero-width padding
Even Distribution: Characters are padded evenly throughout text
Auto Reset: Resets counters when context limit is near
Invisible to UI: No effect on display or readability
Resource Maximization: Maximizes token usage per request

Notes

Requires tiktoken >= 0.5.0
Recommended fill ratio: ≤ 0.98
Can be used together with obfuscation, but context filling has priority
