Bhasini MCP Server

Give your AI assistant exact spelling in all 22 scheduled languages of India. Bhasini's MCP server transliterates romanised text, converts between Indian scripts, and looks up keyboard maps with the same engine as this website.

Privacy

Local server: collects nothing, stores nothing and sends nothing. Text is processed in memory on your computer and discarded when each call returns.

Hosted server (mcp.bhasini.com): runs on Cloudflare Workers. The text in each tool call is processed in memory and is not stored or logged. Cloudflare handles the connection, including your IP address, which is used only to limit each client to 120 requests a minute. Request metadata such as time and status may appear in Cloudflare's operational logs.

Your AI assistant handles the conversation under its own privacy policy. See the privacy policy and terms of service.
