Imagine creating an app just by describing what you want out loud, like you’re talking to a friend. That’s the magic of vibe coding: turning natural language into working code with the help of an AI agent. And while typing a prompt gets the job done, saying it out loud hits different 🔥 The new [Speech MCP server](/docs/mcp/speech-mcp) has quite literally entered the chat.

In a recent [Wild Goose Case livestream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zey9GHyXlHY&ab_channel=BlockOpenSource), hosts [Ebony Louis](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ebonylouis/) and [Adewale Abati](https://www.linkedin.com/in/acekyd/) were joined by [Max Novich](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maksym-stepanenko-26404867) from Block's AI tools team, who demonstrated an exciting new extension - the [Speech MCP server](https://github.com/Kvadratni/speech-mcp).
|
||
|
||
During the livestream, Max demonstrated this by creating an entire web application using only voice commands - no keyboard or mouse required. This resulted in a vibrant, animated webpage with 3D effects, synthwave aesthetics, and interactive elements, all created through natural conversation with Goose.

## The Speech MCP Server
|
||
|
||
[Speech MCP](https://github.com/Kvadratni/speech-mcp) is an open source MCP server that enables voice interaction with AI agents like Goose. What makes it special is that it runs entirely locally on your machine, making it:

||
- Cost-effective compared to cloud-based alternatives
|
||
- Accessible without internet connectivity
|
||
|
||
### Key Features
|
||
|
||
1. **Local Speech Processing**: Uses two main models:
|
||
