### Description (declared)

# voxtral-mcp

Local voice for any MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) via
[Mistral Voxtral 4B TTS](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Voxtral-4B-TTS-2603)
(MLX 4-bit). Higher voice quality than the lightweight pocket-tts route, at the
cost of a larger model and slower TTFA.

- 9 languages: 🇬🇧 English, 🇫🇷 French, 🇩🇪 German, 🇪🇸 Spanish, 🇮🇹 Italian, 🇵🇹 Portuguese, 🇳🇱 Dutch, 🇮🇳 Hindi, 🇸🇦 Arabic
- 4 B parameters, 4-bit MLX quantization (~2.5 GB on disk)
- ~2.4× real-time generation on Apple Silicon M-series
- **TTFA ~1 s** thanks to native streaming via `mlx-audio` `stream=True`
- Non-blocking `speak()`, gap-free playback via `sounddevice` write-mode
- ~3 GB resident RAM once the model is loaded

> ⚠️ **Licence**: the Voxtral model itself is distributed by Mistral under
> **CC BY-NC 4.0** — non-commercial use only. This wrapper's code is MIT.

## Requirements

- **macOS Apple Silicon** (M1/M2/M3/M4) — required, MLX doesn't run on Intel
- **≥16 GB RAM** recommended (the 4-bit model keeps ~3 GB resident)
- Python 3.10 – 3.14

## Install

```bash
uvx voxtral-mcp --help
```

Or persistent:

```bash
uv tool install voxtral-mcp
```

Then add to your MCP client's `.mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "voxtral": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["voxtral-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

## MCP tools

| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `speak(text, voice?, interrupt?)` | Generate audio for `text` and queue it for background playback. Returns immediately, streaming generation. By default, calls queue and play sequentially (including across turns). Pass `interrupt=True` to abort current playback and clear the queue first. |
| `stop_speaking()` | Stop current playback, drop queue, cancel in-flight generation. Use for explicit "mute" requests. For mid-turn interruption + new speech, use `speak(..., interrupt=True)` instead. |
| `status()` | Report model load state, queue depths, sample rate, last error. |
