  • Development — The Development tool exposed by this server

Installing the koroko speech mcp mcp server

The server is distributed via npm as speech-mcp-server, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Configuration

The server reads one environment variable: MCP_DEFAULT_VOICE. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Where it fits

AI-service servers chain other models into your assistant, turning a single chat into a small production pipeline. Koroko Speech MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Development — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other ai services servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • Maintained by hammeiam.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the koroko speech mcp mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
