What are MCP Servers?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants to securely connect to external data sources and tools. Think of MCP servers as bridges that allow AI models like Claude to interact with external services, databases, and APIs in a standardized way.

MCP servers extend the capabilities of AI assistants beyond their built-in knowledge, allowing them to access real-time data, perform actions, and integrate with specialized services. With the TexToGo MCP Server, Claude and other AI tools can now generate speech from text using our advanced text-to-speech technology.

Why Text-to-Speech in Your AI Workflow?

Key Benefits:

Make content accessible to users with visual impairments or reading difficulties
Listen to AI responses while working on other tasks
Generate voiceovers for presentations and videos
Hear proper pronunciation and intonation
Listen to code explanations and documentation
