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