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.

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 Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?
Create an MCPServerHTTP instance with the server URL. Pydantic AI connects, discovers all tools, and generates typed Python interfaces automatically.
Does Pydantic AI validate MCP tool responses?
Yes. When you define result types as Pydantic models, every tool response is validated against the schema. Invalid data raises a clear error instead of silently corrupting your pipeline.
Can I switch LLM providers without changing MCP code?
Absolutely. Pydantic AI abstracts the model layer. your Cartesia (Voice AI) MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
