Voice interface for Claude Code: talk to your agent and it talks back while it works.

Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

OCI package docker.io/noisy/noisy-coding:2.13.3
Claude Code
claude mcp add noisy-coding -e 'XAI_API_KEY=<your xai_api_key>' -- docker run -i --rm docker.io/noisy/noisy-coding:2.13.3

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.

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.
