MCP support
Lazybird provides a hosted remote MCP server over Streamable HTTP. Its tools let MCP clients search voices, generate speech, design or save voices, and check account details; sign-in uses OAuth.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

Details
From the project READMELazybird MCP server
Make voiceovers from ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot and other MCP clients: search 500+ voices, generate MP3s, and design or clone voices. Sign in with OAuth, free to start.
Lazybird is an AI voiceover generator with 500+ voices in 150+ languages, voice cloning and a text to speech API. The free plan includes 10,000 credits a month.
This is a hosted (remote) MCP server, so there is nothing to install or run. This repository documents it.
| Server URL | https://api.lazybird.app/mcp |
| Transport | Streamable HTTP |
| Authentication | OAuth: sign in with your Lazybird account and click Allow |
| Registry name | io.github.lazybirdai/lazybird |
The assistant never sees your password, payment details or API keys.
What it can do
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_voices | Find a voice in the library of 500+ AI voices in 150+ languages and accents, plus your own cloned or designed voices and the ones your team shares. Filter by words (name, accent, style, use case), language and gender. Returns preview audio links. |
generate_speech | Turn a script into a ready-to-use MP3 in the voice you choose. Every voice can speak every language: ask for the language or accent you want. |
design_voice | Create a new voice from a description such as age, accent, tone and energy, and hear a sample line. |
save_voice | Add a designed voice to your library, or clone one from a clear 10–60 second recording of a single speaker. Only clone voices you have the right to use. |
get_account | See your plan and how many characters you have left. |
Generating speech uses characters from your plan, as in the Lazybird app.
Set it up
VS Code with GitHub Copilot
Add the server to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace (or to your user configuration):
{
"servers": {
"lazybird": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.lazybird.app/mcp"
}
}
}
Start the server from the file or the MCP servers list, then sign in to Lazybird when asked. Lazybird's tools then show up in Copilot Chat in agent mode.
Claude
Custom connectors work on claude.ai and in Claude Desktop.
- Go to Customize → Connectors.
- Click + Add, then Add custom connector.
- Name it Lazybird, paste
https://api.lazybird.app/mcpand click Continue. - Sign in to Lazybird when asked and click Allow.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http lazybird https://api.lazybird.app/mcp
Then run /mcp inside Claude Code and choose Lazybird to sign in.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT adds custom connectors through developer mode. Whether you can turn it on depends on your plan and, for work accounts, your workspace settings.
- In ChatGPT on the web, open Settings and turn on Developer mode.
- Create a new app or connector named Lazybird, paste
https://api.lazybird.app/mcpand choose OAuth. - Sign in to Lazybird when asked and click Allow.
Other clients
Any client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in can use the same URL.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
