speak-aloud-mcp
Small cross-platform MCP server that lets AI assistants make the local computer speak through ElevenLabs text-to-speech, with optional system volume set and restore behavior on macOS, Windows and Linux. It supports stdio for local clients, optional HTTP for remote connector scenarios, and a non-MCP Python library or CLI path for direct gateway integrations. Public GitHub repository created August 15, 2026.

Use Cases
| 01 | Give Claude Desktop, Claude Code or another MCP client a local speak tool for audible confirmations and voice output |
| 02 | Run a preflight check and direct say command before attaching the server to a client so audio issues are isolated from MCP issues |
| 03 | Embed the TTS and player modules directly in a custom gateway when MCP is not the right integration layer |
