Claude Desktop Speech AI - Pronunciation, STT & TTS synthesize_speech
How to: Claude Desktop Speech AI - Pronunciation, STT & TTS synthesize_speech
Add Speech AI - Pronunciation, STT & TTS to Claude Desktop
-
01
Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"speech-ai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://apim-ai-apis.azure-api.net/mcp/pronunciation/mcp"
]
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.
-
03
Ask for something synthesize_speech does. Claude Desktop lists the server's tools on connect and calls synthesize_speech itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Speech AI - Pronunciation, STT & TTS's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.
Claude Desktop has no remote transport in its config file, so this bridges through mcp-remote. Restart the app after saving. Claude Desktop docs
Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what
the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.
Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
