You can harness text-to-speech capabilities through a dedicated MCP server that uses the Rime API to generate audio and play it through your system’s speakers. This server exposes a speak tool you call to convert text into speech, making it easy to add voice feedback to your workflows, assistants, or automation.

How to use

Use the speak tool from your MCP client to convert text to speech and play it through your system audio. By configuring the tool’s prompts, you control when the agent speaks, which voice to use, and how the agent should address you. Typical usage patterns include: providing a concise spoken summary after code or data changes, announcing the start and end of long-running tasks, or delivering feedback in natural language. Adjust the guidance and voice settings to fit your context so the spoken responses feel natural and helpful.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js 16.x or higher and a working audio output device. On macOS, audio playback uses afplay automatically.

# Step 1: Install dependencies
npm install

# Step 2: Build the server
npm run build

# Step 3: Run in development mode with hot reload
npm run dev
