Ffvoice MCP Server
The honest pitch: ffvoice is an integration layer, not a new ASR engine. It embeds whisper.cpp as-is and makes no changes to its accuracy or inference speed. What ffvoice adds is a batteries-included, pre-wired pipeline - microphone capture → RNNoise denoising → VAD segmentation → Whisper ASR → speaker diarization → live captions / WAV / FLAC / subtitles - delivered as a single C++ SDK with Python bindings, a CLI…
People connecting AI & ML tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in C++.

01 · Install Ffvoice
Claude Code
claude mcp add chicogong-ffvoice-engine -- uvx ffvoice Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"chicogong-ffvoice-engine": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"ffvoice"
]
}
}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
