### Description (declared)

# MCP Text-to-Speech for Cursor IDE

Add text-to-speech capabilities to Cursor IDE. Let your AI assistant speak responses, summaries, and explanations out loud.

## 🚀 Quick Start

**Prerequisites:** [Cursor IDE](https://cursor.sh) and either an [OpenAI API key](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys) or an [ElevenLabs API key](https://elevenlabs.io)

**Setup:** Add one of these to your Cursor MCP settings (`~/.cursor/mcp.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp_tts_server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "mcp-tts", "mcp-tts-server-stdio"],
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-openai-api-key-here",
        "ELEVENLABS_API_KEY": "your-elevenlabs-api-key-here",
        "MCP_TTS_PROVIDER": "openai",
        "MCP_TTS_VOICE": "ballad",
        "MCP_TTS_VOICE_PRESET": "default",
        "MCP_TTS_CUSTOM_INSTRUCTIONS": "",
        "MCP_TTS_SPEED": "1.0",
        "MCP_TTS_VOLUME": "0.8",
        "MCP_TTS_DEVICE_NAME": "",
        "MCP_TTS_DEVICE_INDEX": "",
        "PYTHONIOENCODING": "utf-8"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

OpenAI (voices/presets/speed apply):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp_tts_server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "mcp-tts", "mcp-tts-server-stdio"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_TTS_PROVIDER": "openai",
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-...",
        "MCP_TTS_VOICE": "alloy",
        "MCP_TTS_VOICE_PRESET": "professional",
        "MCP_TTS_CUSTOM_INSTRUCTIONS": "",
        "MCP_TTS_SPEED": "1.0",
        "MCP_TTS_VOLUME": "0.9",
        "PYTHONIOENCODING": "utf-8"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

ElevenLabs (use voice_id or exact name; presets/speed are ignored):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp_tts_server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "mcp-tts", "mcp-tts-server-stdio"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_TTS_PROVIDER": "elevenlabs",
        "ELEVENLABS_API_KEY": "eleven-...",
        "MCP_TTS_VOICE": "Adam",
        "MCP_TTS_VOLUME": "0.8",
        "PYTHONIOENCODING": "utf-8"
      }
    }
  }
