What is the Supertonic3 MCP server?

MCP server for Supertonic 3 on-device text-to-speech. Exposed over MCP by the supertonic3 mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

Local, on-device TTS for Claude & Cursor, powered by Supertonic 3. No API key. No cloud. An internal tool open-sourced by Halozen — we build AI compliance intelligence for construction.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • speak — Synthesize text to a WAV file; returns absolute path + metadata
  • list_voices — Built-in voices (voice_id, gender)
  • list_expressions — Inline tags (, , …) with descriptions

Adding it to your client

The server ships on PyPI as supertonic3-mcp, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

When to reach for it

This sits in the AI and media services group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Supertonic3's toolset — speak, list_voices, list_expressions — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Caveats

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the supertonic3 mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Supertonic3 to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 3 tools (speak, list_voices, list_expressions) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Supertonic3 directly.
