sarvam-mcp
Official Sarvam MCP server. Exposes every public Sarvam API — STT, TTS, Translate, Transliterate, Language ID, Text Analytics, LLM (30B / 105B), Vision Document Intelligence, Pronunciation Dictionaries — as first-class MCP tools so any MCP-aware client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed) can call Sarvam with zero boilerplate.
Cross-platform Python package: macOS, Windows, and Linux (Python 3.11+).
Quickstart
1. Get your API key
Sign up or log in at dashboard.sarvam.ai/key-management and copy your API key (sk_...).
2. Add to your MCP client
Paste this into your MCP config JSON:
{
"mcpServers": {
"sarvam": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["sarvam-mcp"],
"env": {
"SARVAM_API_KEY": "sk_..."
}
}
}
}
Replace sk_... with your actual API key.
If you’ve installed via pip install sarvam-mcp, you can use the console script directly:
{
"mcpServers": {
"sarvam": {
"command": "sarvam-mcp",
"env": {
"SARVAM_API_KEY": "sk_..."
}
}
}
}
3. Config file locations
| Client | Config path |
|---|---|
| Cursor | ~/.cursor/mcp.json (macOS/Linux) · %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json (Windows) |
| Claude Desktop | ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) · %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows) |
| Claude Code | claude mcp add sarvam -- uvx sarvam-mcp (then set SARVAM_API_KEY env var) |
| Windsurf | Cascade settings → MCP servers |
| Zed | settings.json → context_servers |
Alternative: credentials file
Instead of setting SARVAM_API_KEY in the JSON config, you can store it in ~/.sarvam/credentials:
api_key = sk_...
The server checks SARVAM_API_KEY env var first, then falls back to ~/.sarvam/credentials.
Install
# Option A: run directly (no install needed)
uvx sarvam-mcp
# Option B: install globally
pip install sarvam-mcp

Two namespaces
The server exposes tools across two namespaces:
sarvam_tools_*— runtime tools. Call Sarvam APIs to do things (transcribe, speak, translate, etc.).sarvam_code_*— builder tools. Help you write code that uses Sarvam: docs, endpoint shapes, language lists, code snippets, starter projects.
