Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
OT_HOST (Loopback address used by the locally installed server.), OT_PORT (Port used by the locally installed Streamable HTTP server.), OT_SECURITY__BEARER_TOKEN (A strong, random token shared with the local MCP client.), OT_MICROSOFT__ENDPOINT (Optional Microsoft Speech resource endpoint.), OT_MICROSOFT__API_KEY (Optional Microsoft Speech API key.), OT_ELEVENLABS__API_KEY (Optional ElevenLabs API key.), OT_GROQ__API_KEY (Optional Groq API key.).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
