# Overview

> Rime's hosted MCP server — connect AI assistants to the voice catalog, linguistics tools, speech synthesis, and integration scaffolding.

Rime hosts a first-party [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) (MCP) server at **[mcp.rime.ai](https://mcp.rime.ai)**. Connect it to Claude, OpenAI Codex, your IDE, or any MCP-compatible client to browse the voice catalog, check pronunciation coverage, preview text normalization, generate speech samples, and scaffold voice-agent integration code — all from a conversation.

## Server URL

```
https://mcp.rime.ai
```

The server speaks stateless Streamable HTTP. Both the root URL and `https://mcp.rime.ai/mcp` serve the MCP endpoint — use whichever your client expects. See [Connecting](/mcp-reference/connect) for client-by-client setup.

<Note>The MCP server is built for exploration and prototyping — it generates complete audio samples rather than streaming. For production voice agents, use the [streaming APIs](/docs/streaming) directly, or ask [`generate_integration`](/mcp-reference/generate-integration) for working [Pipecat](/docs/pipecat) or [LiveKit](/docs/livekit) starter code.</Note>
