🎙️ mac-voice-mcp
Talk with Claude out loud on your Mac. Natural turn-taking · on-device speech recognition · no audio leaves your computer
Claude says something through your Mac's speakers, listens to your answer the way a person would, and gets back what you said as text. Speech recognition runs on your Mac, so no audio leaves your computer.

🎙 you: "yes, and tag Priya"
Claude ◀──────────────── "Yes, and tag Priya." ───────── whisper.cpp on your MacIt's built for Apple Silicon Macs (M1–M4). Linux works too, with SoX and espeak-ng installed.
🤖 Vibe-coded
This project was designed and written with Claude, in conversation. A human (me) steered it, tried it on a real Mac and checked the test suite, but most of the code was written by AI. It's a proof of concept: it works and has tests, but expect rough edges, and read the code before relying on it for anything important. Issues and pull requests are welcome.
It's an independent project, not made or endorsed by Anthropic. It works with any MCP client, including Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.
How it works
The server has two tools and two prompts:
Listening works like a conversation. A soft chime plays when the mic opens. The server waits for you to start talking and hands back to Claude about a second after you stop. It adjusts to background noise, doesn't cut you off at pauses mid-sentence, and ignores coughs and clicks. If you say nothing for 8 seconds, Claude gets "no speech", which it is told never to treat as a yes.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
