Voice Bridge
This server gives Claude Code text-to-speech with five engine options. It exposes a speak tool that takes text and optional engine/voice parameters, plus list_voices and get_engine_info for discovery. Works over stdio and includes a Stop hook for auto-speaking responses. The free edge-tts engine ships by default with 400+ neural voices, while paid ElevenLabs and local Kokoro ONNX cover premium and offline cases. Useful if you want hands-free coding feedback or need to audition responses while working in another window. The text safety filter strips code blocks and secrets before speaking, so you get natural language summaries instead of syntax noise.

Voice Bridge
Multi-engine text-to-speech for AI coding assistants. Speaks responses aloud from Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code via a Claude Code plugin, MCP server, or CLI pipe.
pip install ai-voice-bridge[edge] # Install with free edge-tts engine
voice-bridge test # Verify audio output
voice-bridge on # Enable always-on mode (optional)
Features
- Free by default -- edge-tts uses Microsoft Neural voices, no API key needed
- 5 engines -- edge-tts, ElevenLabs, Kokoro (local ONNX), macOS say, espeak-ng
- Text safety filter -- strips code blocks, secrets, file paths, URLs, and markdown before speaking
- Claude Code plugin -- Stop hook speaks responses automatically, MCP server for tool-based control
- Voice discovery -- browse, filter by gender/locale, and preview voices interactively
