Speech.sh Overview

This project provides a text-to-speech command-line interface and an MCP server that uses the Groq TTS API compatible with OpenAI. It supports multiple voice options, adjustable speech speed, and caching to minimize duplicate API calls. The MCP server integrates with AI assistants like Claude Desktop and Claude Code, enabling agents to speak text aloud and notify when done. Use it when you need programmatic TTS capabilities with flexible playback options and caching.
