Perplexity

Text-to-Speech via Claude Desktop

Your AI client can now synthesize audio using `create_speech` and `stream_speech` straight from your chat. Drop a script into the prompt, and Claude generates the final voice file without you needing to open a separate browser tab. You get direct access to `list_voices` to pick the exact tone you want. Need to translate a video? The server exposes `create_dub` to handle multi-language audio tracks. You can check the progress of these larger jobs using `get_dub_status`. It turns Claude from a text generator into a full audio production assistant.

Voice Cloning and Design

The `design_voice` tool builds entirely new voices based on text prompts. Tell Claude to create a raspy, fast-talking narrator, and it calls the endpoint to generate the profile. You then save it permanently with `create_designed_voice`. If you have existing audio that needs cleaning up, the agent runs `isolate_audio` to strip background noise. You can also modify existing profiles using `edit_voice` or completely remove them with `delete_voice` when the project wraps.

Audio Management MCP Server

Generating sound effects happens through the `generate_sound` tool. You ask for a cinematic impact or footsteps on gravel, and the server returns the audio data. It handles the entire request pipeline locally on your machine. Keeping track of generated files is simple. Claude calls `list_history` to pull up your recent generations and uses `get_history_audio` to download specific files. If you hit your storage limits, `delete_history_item` clears out the old takes.
