Overview

VoiceMode is an MCP server that transforms how users interact with AI assistants by enabling voice conversations. It supports both local speech services (Whisper for STT, Kokoro for TTS) and cloud services like OpenAI, ensuring privacy and offline capability. The system features smart silence detection, low-latency responses, and works seamlessly across Linux, macOS, Windows, and NixOS platforms. Installation is straightforward through Claude Code's plugin marketplace or via Python package manager with comprehensive documentation and troubleshooting guides.
