About vox

vox is an MCP server published by the GitHub account boska. Native macOS MCP server for voice I/O — Swift binary, SFSpeechRecognizer + ElevenLabs TTS.

It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the MCP bundle package https://github.com/boska/vox/releases/download/v1.0.0/vox-mcp at version 1.0.0.

It asks for one secret: ELEVENLABS_API_KEY. Give it a key with the least access that still works.

Version 1.0.0 was published on 16 May 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.

Written from the registry entry. 7 automated checks on registry metadata: 4 pass, 0 warn, 0 fail, 3 info. How we check.
