@vocametrix/mcp-server

smithery badge

Official Model Context Protocol server for the Vocametrix voice analysis API.

Gives any MCP-compatible AI assistant (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, etc.) direct access to clinical voice metrics, pronunciation assessment, speech transcription, and AI-powered therapy planning.

Quick start

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vocametrix": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@vocametrix/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "VOCAMETRIX_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get an API key at vocametrix.com/registration. MCP analysis uses purchased API credits; the website subscription and trial do not cover API calls.

ChatGPT (OAuth, API credits)

The optional /chatgpt/mcp endpoint links a user's API account through OAuth. The user approves access on the platform's consent page; ChatGPT receives revocable tokens, not the API key. Existing /mcp API-key clients and local stdio clients remain supported.

See ChatGPT setup and release checks for the matching platform changes, database migration, configuration, and tests. This integration must be deployed and tested in ChatGPT before public submission.

Workflow tools

ToolDescription
vocametrix_full_voice_assessmentParallel AVQI + CPP + HNR + jitter/shimmer + spectral
vocametrix_batch_pronunciationAssess a folder of WAV files. Reads the server's own filesystem, so it is only registered in stdio/local mode (VOCAMETRIX_MCP_LOCAL_FS=1) — not available on the hosted server
vocametrix_full_therapy_workflowGenerate → poll → fetch → approval flow

Resources

  • vocametrix://docs/api — API quick reference (auth, rate limits, audio requirements, error codes)
  • vocametrix://recording-guide — Recording protocols for every tool (sustained vowel, connected speech with language-specific reference sentences, glissando, sustained /s/ and /z/)
  • vocametrix://thresholds/{metric} — Clinical reference thresholds for avqi, dsi, cpp, hnr, jitter-shimmer, gne

Prompts

  • interpret_voice_assessment — Generate a clinical SLP-style interpretation report from assessment JSON
  • compare_pre_post_therapy — Quantified pre/post therapy narrative with metric-by-metric comparison
  • generate_session_report — SOAP-format progress note from pronunciation assessment data

Audio requirements

  • Format: WAV (16-bit PCM recommended)
  • Sustained vowel tasks: 3+ seconds of /a/ phonation
  • Connected speech tasks: 5–30 seconds of read passage
  • Minimum sampling rate: 16 kHz

How to pass audio to a tool

The audioPath parameter accepts several input types, but which ones are valid depends on how the MCP server is running:

InputHosted / remote serverStdio / local server (npx, Claude Desktop)
https://... blobUrl from vocametrix_upload_audio✅ recommended
Public https://... URL to a WAV file
Public URL via vocametrix_ingest_url → returned blobUrl✅ recommended for URL inputs
data:audio/wav;base64,... data URL
Raw base64 string (≥ 512 chars)
Absolute local path (/home/..., C:\...)❌ rejected⚠️ requires VOCAMETRIX_MCP_LOCAL_FS=1

For chat clients that attach audio in the conversation (Claude.ai web/mobile, etc.), the LLM cannot pass an absolute path to a hosted server — it must call vocametrix_upload_audio first with the file content base64-encoded, then pass the returned blobUrl as audioPath to any analysis tool. The MCP descriptions guide the LLM toward this workflow automatically.

For stdio/local deployments where the MCP runs on the user's own machine, set VOCAMETRIX_MCP_LOCAL_FS=1 to allow analysis tools to read absolute local paths directly — convenient for batch processing of files already on disk.

Environment variables

VariableRequiredDescription
VOCAMETRIX_API_KEYYesYour Vocametrix API key
VOCAMETRIX_MCP_LOCAL_FSNoSet to 1 to allow analysis tools to read absolute local file paths (stdio/local deployments only). Default off — local paths are rejected with an actionable error so chat clients are pushed toward the vocametrix_upload_audioblobUrl workflow.
VOCAMETRIX_MCP_ALLOW_PRIVATE_HOSTSNoSet to 1 to allow fetching audio URLs whose host resolves to a private, loopback or link-local address (a LAN file server, for instance). Default off, including in stdio/local mode: the caller of an MCP tool is an LLM, and an LLM that has read a hostile page can be talked into pointing these tools at your own network.
