Frequently asked questions

1

What does say-mcp-server do?

It gives an MCP client the ability to convert text into spoken audio on macOS using the system’s `say` command.

2

What are the requirements to run say-mcp-server?

You need macOS (for the built-in `say` command) and Node.js version 14.0.0 or higher.

3

How can I customize the speech output?

You can set the voice, speaking rate (1–500 words per minute), and use inline tags like `[[slnc 500]]` for silence, `[[rate 200]]` for speed changes, `[[volm 0.5]]` for volume, and `[[emph +]]` for emphasis.

4

Can the speech run without blocking other MCP interactions?

Yes, by setting the `background` parameter to `true` the speech runs asynchronously, allowing you to perform other MCP tool calls immediately after.

Does say-mcp-server work on Windows or Linux?

No. It relies on macOS’s `say` command and will not function on non-macOS systems.
