### Description (declared)

# 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](https://dashboard.sarvam.ai/key-management)** and copy your API key (`sk_...`).

### 2. Add to your MCP client

Paste this into your MCP config JSON:

```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:

```json
{
  "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`:

```ini
api_key = sk_...
```

The server checks `SARVAM_API_KEY` env var first, then falls back to `~/.sarvam/credentials`.

## Install

```bash
# Option A: run directly (no install needed)
uvx s…
