## MCP tools (7)

### `list_voices` (~176 tokens)

List FreeTTS voices

List FreeTTS voices for a language or a search word, with the voice id to pass to text_to_speech. Says which voices are free and which need a FreeTTS PRO key (HD and Signature). Use it when the user names a language, accent or gender, or asks what voices exist.

Input parameters:

- `free_only` (boolean): Only voices that work without a FreeTTS key.
- `gender` (string): Filter by gender.
- `language` (string): Language or locale, like 'German', 'de-DE', 'Spanish (Mexico)' or 'en'. Empty lists every language.
- `limit` (integer): How many to return. Default 15.
- `search` (string): A word to match in the voice name or personality, like 'Andrew', 'calm' or 'news'.

### `suggest_voice` (~107 tokens)

Suggest a FreeTTS voice

Suggest three FreeTTS voices for a language and a use (audiobook, tutorial, ad, news, children's story, meditation, podcast), with a short reason each. Use it when the user has not named a voice.

Input parameters:

- `gender` (string)
- `language` (string, required): Language or locale, like 'English (US)', 'de-DE' or 'Portuguese (Brazil)'.
- `use` (string): What the audio is for, in a few words.

### `text_to_speech` (~293 tokens)

Text to speech (FreeTTS)

Convert text to spoken audio with a FreeTTS voice and return a download link to the MP3 (or WAV with a FreeTTS PRO key). Use it when the user wants text read aloud, narrated, or saved as an audio file. Without a FreeTTS key: standard voices, up to 2,000 characters a call, a short spoken "FreeTTS" tag at the end, file kept one hour. With a key: the account's plan (PRO: HD and Signature voices, no tag, 10,000 characters a call, files kept 30 days).

Input parameters:

- `format` (string): mp3 (default) or wav (FreeTTS PRO).
- `include_audio` (boolean): Also return the audio bytes in the result (large). Default false; the link is enough for most clients.
- `language` (string): Language of the text when no voice is given, like 'German' or 'pt-BR'.
- `speed` (integer): Percent slower (negative) or faster (positive). Default 0.
- `text` (string, required): The text to read. Plain text; SSML is not needed.
- `voice` (string): A FreeTTS voice id from list_voices, like en-US-JennyNeural (a short name like 'Jenny' also works). If empty, a good standard voice for the language is chosen.

### `check_usage` (~56 tokens)

Check FreeTTS usage and plan

Show the FreeTTS plan behind this connection and what is left: characters today or this month, requests a minute, HD voices, watermark. Use it when the user asks about limits, their plan, or why a request was refused.

### `dialogue_to_speech` (~180 tokens)

Dialogue to speech (two or more voices)

Turn a script with several speakers into one audio file, a different FreeTTS voice per speaker, with a pause between lines. Write each line as 'Name: text'. Use it for two-host shows, interviews, scenes, language lessons with two speakers. Needs a connected FreeTTS PRO account.

Input parameters:

- `language` (string): Language of the lines when no voices are given.
- `pause_ms` (integer): Silence between lines in milliseconds. Default 600.
- `script` (string, required): Lines like 'Abd: Tonight we cook shakshuka.' one per line. Names before the colon.
- `voices` (object): Speaker name to FreeTTS voice id, like {"Abd": "en-US-AndrewNeural", "Guest": "en-US-EmmaNeural"}. Unnamed speakers get a voice each.

### `script_to_tracks` (~370 tokens)

Script to timed tracks (Script mode)

Record a script with exact timing, the way FreeTTS Script mode does: (pause 2) is exactly 2 seconds of silence, (beep), (ding) and (click) play a sound, 'CUE:' lines are read in a second voice, 'TRACK: name' starts a new audio file, 'NAME: line' makes a scene with a voice per character. Returns one file with everything plus one file per track. Use it for ear prompter tracks, voiceovers timed to footage, rehearsal tracks, workout or recipe step audio. Needs a connected FreeTTS PRO account.

Input parameters:

- `count_in` (string): Spoken count-in before each track, one number a second. Default none.
- `cue_voice` (string): Voice for CUE: lines and [bracketed] words. Default Aria.
- `line_voice` (string): Voice for the main lines: a steady voice name or id (Guy, Andrew, Ava, Aria, Jenny, Brian, Emma, Sonia, Ryan, Libby, Natasha, William, Clara, Liam...). Default Guy.
- `my_part` (string): In a scene, the character you play: their lines become timed gaps for you to say them.
- `paragraph_pause_ms` (integer): Silence after each paragraph. Default 1000.
- `script` (string, required): The script text. See freetts.org/text-to-speech-for-actors for the syntax.
- `sentence_pause_ms` (integer): Silence after each sentence. Default 500.
- `speed` (integer): Percent slower or faster for the main lines. Default 0.
- `track_end` (string): After the last line of each track: nothing, a long beep, or the word End. Default none.

### `transcribe_audio` (~108 tokens)

Transcribe audio (speech to text)

Turn a recording into text with FreeTTS speech to text. Give a public https URL to an audio file (mp3, wav, m4a, ogg, webm). Needs a connected FreeTTS PRO account.

Input parameters:

- `audio_url` (string, required): Public https URL of the audio file.
- `language` (string): Language of the recording, like 'en-US', 'de-DE', 'Arabic' or 'es', or 'auto' to detect it (default).

## Common questions

### What is the FreeTTS MCP server?

FreeTTS is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as org.freetts/mcp. Text to speech in 149 languages: MP3 links from any assistant. Free without an account. This page covers its npm package (@freetts/mcp).

### Is the FreeTTS MCP server safe to use?

FreeTTS scores 77 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 1 known advisory against it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the FreeTTS MCP server expose?

FreeTTS exposes 7 tools: list_voices, suggest_voice, text_to_speech, check_usage, dialogue_to_speech, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,290 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the FreeTTS MCP server still maintained?

FreeTTS is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the FreeTTS MCP server under?

FreeTTS declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the FreeTTS MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on FreeTTS, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
