Direct Voice Generation in Claude Desktop

Stop copying text into external browser tabs just to get a voiceover. This MCP Server lets Claude Desktop trigger `text_to_speech` to convert your written drafts into natural-sounding audio files instantly. Your agent picks the right voice using `list_voices` and runs the generation without you leaving the chat interface. You can quickly test different vocal styles by having your agent pull settings with `get_voice_settings`. If a generation does not sound right, just tell Claude Desktop to adjust the parameters and run it again until the pacing and tone match your needs.

Audio History and File Management

Managing your generated audio files usually requires digging through a busy web dashboard. This MCP Server changes that by letting you query your entire generation history using `list_audio_history` directly inside your workspace. When you find the output you need, the server pulls the exact download URL with `get_download_link`. If you need to clean up sensitive voice tests, you can tell the agent to purge those records instantly using `delete_history_item`.

Voice Profile and Subscription Auditing

Keep a close eye on your voice synthesis usage limits without opening another browser window by using this MCP Server. Your agent can check your remaining character counts and current plan tier using `get_subscription_info` and `get_account_info`. The server also lets you audit your custom cloned profiles by calling `get_voice` to inspect specific voice configurations. If a custom voice is no longer needed, you can delete it from your library by running `delete_voice` through the chat.
