Why

Replaces whisper-mcp. Works offline, ships with five STT and six TTS engines, switches per-task via config.

Install

pip install stt2tts-mcp

# Add the engines you actually use:
pip install stt2tts-mcp[stt-faster-whisper]   # local STT
pip install stt2tts-mcp[tts-piper]            # local TTS (~50MB voices)

# Register with your MCP client (consult your client's docs for the exact
# config file location — most use mcp_config.json or a per-client equivalent):
{
  "mcp": {
