Mac Voice MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 766 installs a week from npm. Last commit 3 Nov 2026.
Talk with your AI assistant out loud on a Mac, with on-device speech recognition (whisper.cpp).
What the code does
We read the source, 4 d ago · rules 995398eba69f
What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
const candidate = path.join(dir, bin + ext);
? spawn(bin, args, { stdio: ["ignore", "ignore", "pipe"], windowsHide: true })

This code can reach further than it looks
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.
