Detailed Usage
synthesize▶
Convert a string of text into speech and play it.
use_mcp_tool({
server_name: "text_to_speech",
tool_name: "synthesize",
arguments: {
text: "Hello, world! This is a test."
}
});
stream▶
Stream synthesized audio in real-time as it's generated.
use_mcp_tool({
server_name: "text_to_speech",
tool_name: "stream",
arguments: {
text: "This is a streaming test to demonstrate real-time audio synthesis."
}
});
set_engine▶
Select the TTS engine to use for speech synthesis.
use_mcp_tool({
server_name: "text_to_speech",
tool_name: "set_engine",
arguments: {
engine: "elevenlabs"
}
});
get_engines▶
Get a list of available TTS engines.
use_mcp_tool({
server_name: "text_to_speech",
tool_name: "get_engines",
arguments: {}
});

Common Use Cases
1. Voice-Enabled AI Assistants
Provide voice output for AI assistants and chatbots.
// Let the assistant speak its response
use_mcp_tool({
server_name: "text_to_speech",
tool_name: "synthesize",
arguments: {
text: "I'm sorry, I didn't understand that. Could you please rephrase?"
}
});
2. Accessibility
Make applications more accessible by providing audio versions of text content.
// Read the content of an article aloud
use_mcp_tool({
server_name: "text_to_speech",
tool_name: "synthesize",
arguments: {
text: articleContent
}
});
3. Real-Time Notifications
Create audible notifications for events in your applications.
// Announce a new message
use_mcp_tool({
server_name: "text_to_speech",
tool_name: "synthesize",
arguments: {
text: "You have a new message from Jane."
}
});
