Overview
What is Local Voice MCP?
Local Voice MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that enables AI clients to speak by running local voice models using Chatterbox TTS. It can operate in either MCP server (stdio) or HTTP server mode, making it suitable for developers who want private, on-device text-to-speech within MCP-compatible editors and tools.
How to use Local Voice MCP?
Install globally via npm install -g local-voice-mcp or run directly with npx -y @codecraftersllc/local-voice-mcp. Configure your MCP client with the command local-voice-mcp-server (or npx variant) and optional environment variables. Use the tools synthesize_text, play_audio, and tts_status to generate and play speech, or run in HTTP mode with MCP_MODE=http.
