Brainiall Tts MCP Server

Brainiall TTS MCP Server

Hosted text-to-speech for AI agents via the Model Context Protocol.

54 neural voices, 9 languages — including native Brazilian Portuguese (pf_dora, pm_alex, pm_santa) — served from a hosted, pay-per-use API. No GPU, no model downloads, no ElevenLabs subscription: bring one API key and pay $0.008 per 1,000 characters ($10 free credits on signup).

Why this server

Every other TTS MCP server either runs models locally (heavy, slow to set up) or wraps a third-party key you already pay a subscription for. This one is a hosted, metered API:

• Zero setup — remote server, nothing to install
• Pay per use — $0.008/1K characters, billed against your Brainiall balance
• $10 free credits — sign up at app.brainiall.com
• WAV out — 16-bit PCM, 24 kHz mono, returned as playable MCP audio content or base64 JSON

Quick start

Run locally (stdio-free, still calls the hosted API)

The server itself is a thin wrapper — you can self-host it and it will proxy to api.brainiall.com with your key:

docker build -t brainiall-tts-mcp .
docker run -p 8080:8080 -e APIM_KEY=YOUR_BRAINIALL_API_KEY brainiall-tts-mcp
# MCP endpoint: http://localhost:8080/mcp

Voices

Example

Ask your agent:

"Read this paragraph out loud in Brazilian Portuguese with a female voice"

The agent calls synthesize_speech(text=..., language="pt", voice="pf_dora") and receives playable WAV audio.

Authentication & billing

Pass your Brainiall API key as a Bearer token (see configs above). Usage is metered per character against your account balance — the same key works across all Brainiall APIs (STT, OCR, NLP, image and more at brainiall.com).
