Country Languages Skill

Overview

Pass a two-letter ISO country code such as ZW or FR in the query string. The endpoint looks up the country record and responds with its common name, formal official name, an array of official and commonly spoken languages, and the total language count. Invalid or unrecognized country codes return an error.

The tool

Once your client is connected to the VerveKit server, this appears in its tool list as CountryLanguagesSkill. It is read-only and open-world — it fetches and never mutates anything on your side — so most clients call it without asking you to confirm.

Tool call

{
  "name": "CountryLanguagesSkill",
  "arguments": {
    "country": "ZW"
  }
}

You do not name the tool yourself; the model picks it. Asking about ZW in the terms this skill covers is enough for it to reach for CountryLanguagesSkill on its own — naming it explicitly also works, and is the way to force the call.

Connecting

One server URL covers every skill in the catalog, including this one. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser once, and there is no key to paste into a config file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vervekit": {
      "url": "https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Per-client setup — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT — is on the MCP setup page.

Arguments

These are the properties on the tool's inputSchema, so a well-behaved client validates them before the call is made. Premium arguments are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

Argument	Type	Description
`country`Required	string	The Country 2 letter ISO code for which you want to get languages for data (e.g., ZW)

What the model gets back

The result carries a structuredContent object matching the tool's declared outputSchema, so a client reads fields without parsing prose. status is "ok" and error is null on success; a null field means the value was not available for that input, not that the call failed.

Result

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "country": "ZW",
    "name": "Zimbabwe",
    "officialName": "Republic of Zimbabwe",
    "officialLanguages": [
      "Chibarwe",
      "English",
      "Kalanga",
      "Khoisan",
      "Ndau",
      "Northern Ndebele",
      "Chewa",
      "Shona",
      "Sotho",
      "Tonga",
      "Tswana",
      "Tsonga",
      "Venda",
      "Xhosa",
      "Zimbabwean Sign Language"
    ],
    "officialLanguageCount": 15
  }
}

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Field	Type	Example	Description
`country`	string	`ZW`	The 2-letter ISO country code for the requested country
`name`	string	`Zimbabwe`	The common name of the country
`officialName`	string	`Republic of Zimbabwe`	The official formal name of the country
`officialLanguages`	array	`["Chibarwe","English","Kalanga"]`	Array of official and commonly spoken languages in the country
`officialLanguageCount`	number	`15`	Total count of official and commonly spoken languages

Failure modes

Errors come back as tool errors carrying a sentence the model can act on, not a bare status code. Error handling covers the full list.

Status	What it means
`400` / `422`	The arguments did not validate. The message names the offending one.
`401`	The OAuth session is invalid or expired — reconnect the server.
`403`	Blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Never a bad identity.
`404`	This skill is not part of VerveKit. Check the catalog.
`429`	Out of credits, or a brief rate limit. The message tells them apart.

A call costs 2 credits each time the tool actually runs; a model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.

Use cases

Multilingual Customer Onboarding: When an international user selects their home country during registration, prefill preferred locale choices using the returned official languages.
Storefront Locale Selection: Digital storefronts inspect the visitor country code to offer language switcher options based on that country's commonly spoken languages.
Help Desk Agent Matching: Route incoming support callers from specific sovereign states to phone representatives fluent in that nation's recognized languages.
Regional Document Translation: Before distributing corporate compliance agreements abroad, legal teams verify which languages require certified translations for each jurisdiction.
