Zonos MCP Integration

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:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @PhialsBasement/zonos-tts-mcp --client claude

Manual installation

Make sure you have Zonos running with our API implementation (PhialsBasement/zonos-api)
Install dependencies:

npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk axios

Configure PulseAudio access:

# Your pulse audio should be properly configured for audio playback
# The MCP server will automatically try to connect to your pulse server

Build the MCP server:

npm run build
# This will create the dist folder with the compiled server

Add to Claude's config file: Edit your Claude config file (usually in ~/.config/claude/config.json) and add this to the mcpServers section:

"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:

speak_response(
    text="Your text here",
    language="en-us",  # optional, defaults to en-us
    emotion="happy"    # optional: "neutral", "happy", "sad", "angry"
)
