# /voicemode:converse
Start an ongoing voice conversation with the user using the `voicemode:converse` MCP tool.
## Implementation
Use the `voicemode:converse` tool with the user's message. All parameters have sensible defaults.
## If MCP Connection Fails
If the MCP server isn't connected or the tool isn't available:
1. **Run the install command:**
```
/voicemode:install
```
This installs VoiceMode CLI, FFmpeg, and local voice services.
2. **Or install manually via CLI:**
```bash
uvx voice-mode-install --yes
voicemode whisper service install
voicemode kokoro install
```
3. **Check service status:**
```bash
voicemode whisper service status
voicemode kokoro status
```
4. **Reconnect MCP server after install:**
Run `/mcp`, select voicemode, click "Reconnect" (or restart Claude Code)
For complete documentation, load the `voicemode` skill.
