🌐 Sarvam AI MCP Server

Sarvam AI MCP Server is a lightweight, extensible MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that empowers LLM-based clients (Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI, Warp, etc.) with powerful Indic language processing capabilities including translation, transliteration, language identification, and access to the SarvamAI-M model.


🚀 Features

  • 🔍 Language Identification — Automatically detects language and script of input text

  • 🔤 Transliteration — Convert text between different Indic scripts while preserving pronunciation

  • 🌐 Translation — Translate text across multiple Indic languages

  • 💬 Sarvam Chat — Interactive chat with Sarvam AI models (sarvam-30b, sarvam-105b) with optional wiki grounding
