Zonos TTS MCP Server

# Zonos MCP Integration [](https://smithery.ai/server/@PhialsBasement/zonos-tts-mcp) A Model Context Protocol integration for Zonos TTS, allowing Claude to generate speech directly. ## Setup ### Installing via Smithery To install Zonos TTS Integration for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@PhialsBasement/zonos-tts-mcp): ```bash npx -y @smithery/cli install @PhialsBasement/zonos-tts-mcp --client claude ``` ### Manual installation 1. Make sure you have Zonos running with our API implementation ([PhialsBasement/zonos-api](https://github.com/PhialsBasement/Zonos-API)) 2. Install dependencies: ```bash npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk axios ``` 3. Configure PulseAudio access: ```bash # Your pulse audio should be properly configured for audio playback # The MCP server will automatically try to connect to your pulse server ``` 4. Build the MCP server: ```bash npm run build # This will create the dist folder with the compiled server ``` 5. Add to Claude's config file: Edit your Claude config file (usually in `~/.config/claude/config.json`) and add this to the `mcpServers` section: ```json "zonos-tts": { "command": "node", "args": [ "/path/to/your/zonos-mcp/dist/server.js" ] } ``` Replace `/path/to/your/zonos-mcp` with the actual path where you installed the MCP server. ## Using with Claude Once configured, Claude automatically knows how to use the `speak_response` tool: ```python speak_response( text="Your text here", language="en-us", # optional, defaults to en-us emotion="happy" # optional: "neutral", "happy", "sad", "angry" ) ``` ## Features - Text-to-speech through Claude - Multiple emotions support - Multi-language support - Proper audio playback through PulseAudio ## Requirements - Node.js - PulseAudio setup - Running instance of Zonos API (PhialsBasement/zonos-api) - Working audio output device ## Notes - Make sure both the Zonos API server and this MCP server are running - Audio playback requires proper PulseAudio configuration
