What is Noisy Studio MCP?

Noisy Studio provides a voice interface for Claude Code, enabling speech recognition and spoken replies during agentic coding tasks.

Summary generated from the project's README

About Noisy Studio MCP server

Noisy Studio provides a voice interface for Claude Code, allowing developers to interact with their coding agents through speech recognition and spoken replies. This native macOS application for Apple Silicon includes a built-in Python engine, which removes the need for a separate service manager or manual Python installation. Users manage their experience through a desktop app that features a dashboard for tracking conversations and specific settings for voice and character profiles.

To use this server, developers must install the companion plugin via the Claude plugin marketplace using the noisy/noisy-studio package. The setup requires completing provider and audio configurations within the desktop application. While the plugin launches the engine bundled with the app, API credentials must be stored in the provider settings rather than in chat history. For those using offline providers, models are downloaded during the first use to enable local execution.

What you can do with it

1Voice-controlled agentic codingA developer can speak commands to their coding agent to guide it through complex programming tasks.
2Customized character interactionsYou can configure specific voice and character settings for every individual conversation.
3Monitoring active coding sessionsUsers can track and manage the various coding conversations they are currently following through a central dashboard.

Noisy Studio

Talk to your coding agent while it works. Noisy Studio is a native desktop app with speech recognition, spoken replies, per-conversation voice and character settings, and a dashboard for the conversations you are following.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/331ca147-b325-4b89-9704-a3bba206f2f8

Install

Download the macOS Apple Silicon app from Releases, move Noisy Studio.app to Applications, and open it. Complete provider and audio setup in the app. The app includes its own Python engine; ordinary Claude installation needs neither Python nor a separate service manager.

For Claude Code, install the companion plugin:

claude plugin marketplace add noisy/noisy-studio
claude plugin install noisy-studio@noisy

Restart Claude Code and ask it to set up Noisy Studio voice. Keep the app and plugin versions together: the plugin launches the engine bundled with the app. The internal plugin name remains noisy-studio for compatibility.

Installation and troubleshooting covers permissions, providers, updates, and a spoken round trip. The Codex preview uses the same app and currently requires uv for its integration processes. macOS is the validated release platform; other platforms are source development.

Development

Use local development for the isolated daemon on 7765 and dashboard hot reload. The installed app owns 9765 and has separate settings. See desktop packaging for signed app builds.

Agent hooks
Ports
Product naming
Storybook - how the dashboard and the widget are meant to look, published from main. Run it locally with cd dashboard && npm run storybook. Its title shows the commit it was built from, so a story can be cited by URL and version.

API credentials belong in the app's provider settings, never in chat or source. Offline providers download their models on first use and then run locally.

Upgrading to the V3 technical names

V3 uses noisy-studio throughout packages, commands and integrations. Older installations need an explicit upgrade; see the agent-friendly upgrade and rollback guide before replacing an existing installation.
