Hume MCP Server

What it does

Hume's official MCP server drives Octave, a speech-language model that performs text rather than merely pronouncing it, with prompt-directed emotion and delivery. Ideal for film dialogue and narration where acting nuance matters; agents can iterate on takes, save designed voices to a library, and replay prior audio without regenerating.

Field notes

Official but drifting toward dormant, and nothing moved between the last two checks: npm @humeai/mcp-server is still 0.3.0, published 8 Jan 2026, with no release since; repo last pushed 24 Jun 2026, ~9 stars, no LICENSE file in the tree even though npm metadata declares ISC. Five tools — a much narrower surface than ElevenLabs or Cartesia, and TTS-only, so pair it with something else for SFX and transcription. Set --workdir/-w (or WORKDIR) or audio lands in the system temp directory under /hume-tts; local playback wants ffplay or another CLI player on PATH. EMBEDDED_AUDIO_MODE (default false) returns audio inline instead, which is what you want in a client that cannot reach your filesystem.
