A side-by-side look at the EasyVoice text to speech and FreeTTS MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose EasyVoice text to speech for text-to-speech work; choose FreeTTS for text-to-speech as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
