Voice interface for Claude Code: talk to your agent and it talks back while it works.

Security Report

4.2
Use Caution4.2High Risk

The MCP server is well-structured with appropriate authentication (xAI API key required) and permissions matching its voice-coding use case. However, there are several code quality concerns including subprocess invocation with user-controlled scripts, potential path traversal risks despite guards, and sensitive data exposure in HTTP responses that warrant attention. Supply chain analysis found 9 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (2 critical, 4 high severity).

noisy-coding

Talk to Claude Code while it works — Jarvis-style voice coding. It's your voice that's noisy, not your code.

Docker Pulls Release CI Last commit License: MIT

Claude speaks short summaries aloud. An always-on listener turns your speech into messages Claude receives mid-task, without stopping it — no push-to-send, no copy-pasting transcripts. Step away from the keyboard and keep steering your agent.

Why you'll like it

  • Interrupt-free flow — speak while Claude is working; your words land in the running session, not a text box.
  • Hands-free reviews — Claude reads its findings aloud; you answer from across the room.
  • Live "tactical HUD" dashboard — conversation log with replay/recall, real-time oscilloscope, mute buttons, costs and latencies at a glance.
  • Per-agent character — voice, speed, and personality dials for every agent, all from the dashboard.
  • Nothing to configure in files — API key, devices, language, push-to-talk: everything lives in the UI and persists.
  • Never talks over you — one voice at a time; speech you missed parks as UNHEARD and a CATCH UP button replays it.

Speech-to-text and text-to-speech run on the Grok (xAI) Voice API — extremely cheap in practice (a small one-time budget lasts months of daily use).

Install in 2 minutes

The backend ships as a hardware-free Docker image (noisy/noisy-coding): the dashboard browser tab is the microphone and the speaker. You need Docker and a browser — no Python, no git, no environment variables.

# terminal: marketplace + plugin in one line
claude plugin marketplace add noisy/noisy-coding && claude plugin install noisy-coding@noisy
# inside Claude Code (new session):
/noisy-coding:setup

The setup command starts the published image and walks you through first contact. Then finish in the browser at http://127.0.0.1:8765: paste your xAI API key (console.x.ai) and click the amber ENABLE TAB AUDIO banner — that one click makes the tab your microphone and speaker. Keep the tab open and just talk.

Prefer staying inside Claude Code? Same thing, four commands: /plugin marketplace add noisy/noisy-coding/plugin install noisy-coding@noisy/reload-plugins/noisy-coding:setup.

Other setups — plain Docker without the plugin, native install with hardware mic/speakers, remote hosts, all configuration knobs — live in docs/INSTALL.md.

How it works

All speech logic lives in one listener daemon — the single owner of the microphone, the playback queue and the speakers. The MCP server is a thin messenger that forwards speak requests; Claude Code hooks deliver your transcribed speech back into the session (see docs/hooks.md).

mic (hardware or browser tab via WS :8766)
  -> VAD -> Grok STT -> transcript queue -> HTTP :8765
                              ^ polled by Claude Code hooks
speak (MCP, stdio or HTTP :8767) -> POST /speak -> daemon queue
  -> Grok TTS -> speakers (hardware or browser tab)

Tools

ToolWhat it does
speak(text, interrupt?)Queues text for speech and waits until it has played. Voice/speed/language come from the daemon (dashboard character), not the call.
announce(text)Fire-and-forget variant: returns immediately, plays in the background.
change_voice(voice_id)Deliberately switches this agent's voice (persists, shows on the dashboard).
list_voices()Lists the built-in Grok voices (ara, eve, leo, rex, …).
