Reads your repositories to discover every API, scores and governs them, then exposes them to developers and AI agents via hosted MCP servers.

Spec-Free API Discovery: Elva scans repository code directly to find endpoints and generates OpenAPI 3.1 as output, so no existing spec is needed to start.
Endpoint Scoring: Every collection is graded on design, developer experience, AI readiness, security and performance, with the weakest collection surfaced first.
AI Fix Pass: A one-click agent writes missing descriptions from code, types response schemas and documents auth, then rescores the collection.
API Contracts: Per-audience contracts pin the exact endpoints and fields a partner, internal team, public developer or MCP client receives, excluding PII and internal fields.
Breaking Change Enforcement: Each commit is diffed against published contracts, showing the schema diff, affected consumers and tools, and blocking publish by policy.
Hosted MCP Servers: Contracts generate MCP servers hosted behind Elva's gateway with OAuth2, scoped keys, per-tool authorization and exportable call logs.
MCP Playground and Agent Feedback: Test the server with a live model, then read the complaints agents file about confusing or failing tools, scored back into the catalog.
Multi-Target Publishing: One approved contract ships as OpenAPI spec, Theneo docs, MCP server, Postman collection and a typed TypeScript SDK in sync.

API Inventory Audit: Discover undocumented or forgotten endpoints across a large codebase and get a ranked list of what to fix first.
Agent Enablement: Expose an internal service to Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT as a governed MCP server instead of hand-writing tool wrappers.
Partner Integration Safety: Publish a restricted contract to an external partner and have Elva block commits that would break their integration.
PII Scoping: Keep customer emails and internal ops annotations out of a public or agent-facing surface while the same endpoints serve them internally.
Zombie Endpoint Retirement: Prove no active consumer references an endpoint before deleting it, using contract and call-log evidence.
Enterprise Security Review: Satisfy SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR questions and wire agent access into an existing SSO and SCIM identity provider.
Documentation Drift Control: Keep docs, SDKs and Postman collections regenerated from code on every merge instead of maintained by hand.

Voicebox is a free, open-source, local-first AI voice studio for cloning voices, generating speech in 23 languages, and dictating anywhere.

Voice Cloning: Clone a voice from a few seconds of audio and reuse it across generation and dictation.
Multi-Engine TTS: Generate speech in 23 languages across 7 engines including Qwen3-TTS, Chatterbox, HumeAI TADA, and Kokoro.
Global Dictation: Hold a customizable key chord anywhere to record, transcribe, and refine straight into any text field via an on-screen pill.
Captures Tab: Every dictation, recording, and upload is preserved with its original audio paired to a transcript.
MCP Agent Voice: Give any MCP-aware agent such as Claude Code or Cursor a voice of your choosing that speaks back through a pill.
Local Processing: Runs Whisper transcription and a bundled local LLM on your machine via MLX or PyTorch, with a REST API for integration.

Hands-Free Writing: Dictating into any app with a global hotkey instead of typing.
Voiceover Production: Cloning and generating narration in multiple languages locally.
Agent Voice Output: Giving coding agents a spoken voice for feedback.
Private Transcription: Transcribing audio on-device without sending data to the cloud.
