VoiceMode Connect

Voice conversations through the voicemode.dev cloud platform. Connect your AI assistant to voice clients (iOS app, web app) without running local STT/TTS services.

How It Works

Agents (Claude Code, claude.ai) connect via MCP to voicemode.dev. Clients (iOS app, web app) connect via WebSocket. The platform routes voice messages between them.

Quick Setup

1. Add the MCP Server

Add to your Claude Code MCP settings (~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "voicemode-dev": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://voicemode.dev/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

2. Authenticate

When you first use a Connect tool, Claude Code will prompt for OAuth authentication. Sign in with your voicemode.dev account.

3. Connect a Client

Open the iOS app or web dashboard (voicemode.dev/dashboard) and sign in with the same account.

4. Start Talking

Use the status tool to see connected devices, then use converse to have a voice conversation.
