Conversational Intelligence

Sarvam MCP connector

The Sarvam connector brings translation, transliteration, speech to text, text to speech and document reading across Indian languages into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client, so your team can ask for the work in plain language and it runs inside Sarvam.

  • How it connects. Connects with an API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

How to connect

  2. Optionally set Share with to give a team access, then press Connect.

  3. Paste a Sarvam API key. One person generates a token in Sarvam and pastes it once. Everyone else works through Share with, and never sees it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Sarvam to Claude?

First connect Sarvam in Elaichi, which asks for your Sarvam API key and nothing else. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in when Claude asks, and Sarvam translation, speech and document tools are ready to use.

Does Sarvam work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Sarvam is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, the Elaichi Agent and any other MCP client. You connect Sarvam once and every client your team uses picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with Sarvam?

With Sarvam connected, an agent can translate text between Indian languages and English, transliterate names into another script, and tell you which language a message is written in. It can transcribe audio, translate speech straight into English text, and produce spoken audio from written text. It can also read scanned documents into text, and manage the pronunciation dictionaries that control how names are spoken.

Does connecting Sarvam give the AI everything in my Sarvam account?

A Sarvam connection can only do what the Sarvam API key it was created with is allowed to do, and each person still signs in to Elaichi as themselves so every request is tied to a named user. Elaichi can narrow that access further, for example to translation and transcription only, but it can never widen it beyond what Sarvam itself permits.

Can my team share one Sarvam connection?

Yes. One person connects Sarvam with the API key and shares the connection with a team in Elaichi, and nobody else ever sees or handles that key. Each teammate still signs in as themselves, so the audit log shows who asked for each translation, transcript or document job.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Sarvam?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can block deleting or updating pronunciation dictionaries while leaving translation and speech to text available. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other client, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.

What happens to a Sarvam connection when someone leaves?

When you offboard someone in Elaichi, their access to Sarvam ends at once across every client they used. A shared Sarvam connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want Sarvam gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client at the same time.
