What is the Cartesia (Voice AI) MCP Server?
Connect Cartesia to your AI agent to unlock high-performance voice synthesis and speech recognition. Cartesia's Sonic models provide industry-leading latency and quality for real-time applications.
What you can do
- Text-to-Speech (TTS) — Generate high-fidelity audio bytes or stream via SSE using models like Sonic 3.5 and Sonic 3.
- Speech-to-Text (STT) — Transcribe audio files into text using the Ink Whisper model with multi-language support.
- Voice Cloning — Create custom voice models from as little as 5 seconds of audio input.
- Voice Management — List, retrieve, and update voices, or use the Voice Changer to transform existing audio.
- Pronunciation Control — Manage custom pronunciation dictionaries for specialized terminology or accents.
- Agent Orchestration — List and manage AI agents and monitor call logs and usage credits.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Cartesia API Key
- Start generating audio or transcribing speech from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Developers — integrate real-time voice synthesis into applications without managing complex infrastructure.
- Content Creators — automate voiceovers and audio localization using high-quality cloned voices.
- Product Teams — build conversational AI agents that sound human and respond with sub-second latency.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Cartesia (Voice AI) in OpenAI Agents SDK
The Cartesia (Voice AI) MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 20 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in OpenAI Agents SDK only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
Cartesia (Voice AI) for OpenAI Agents SDK
Every tool call from OpenAI Agents SDK to the Cartesia (Voice AI) MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I generate audio in different formats like MP3 or WAV?
Yes. Using the tts_bytes tool, you can specify the output_format_container as 'mp3', 'wav', or 'raw', and configure the sample rate and encoding to match your needs.
How do I transcribe an existing audio file to text?
Use the stt_batch tool. Provide the base64 encoded audio file, specify the model (e.g., 'ink-whisper'), and the language code to receive a full transcription.
Is it possible to clone a voice using this integration?
Absolutely. The clone_voice tool allows you to create a new voice model by uploading a short (approx. 5s) base64 encoded audio clip.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
