📖 Installation Guide — quick start, manual setup, and troubleshooting
Run Kyutai Moshi locally. Drive it from a glass dashboard, and plug the same surface into your agent stack via FastMCP.
Quick start Web UI Technical docs
FastMCP 3.1+ stdio + HTTP /mcp web 10924 / 10925 MCP HTTP 10926
Quick Start
git clone https://github.com/sandraschi/kyutai-mcp
cd kyutai-mcp
just
This opens an interactive dashboard showing all available commands. Run just bootstrap to install dependencies, then just serve or just dev to start.
Manual Setup
If you don't have just installed:
Web dashboard
Standard pages: Home, Actions, Tools (ops + MCP catalog), Apps (Glama / manifest), Moshi (and /talk), Status, Chat, Logger, Settings, Help.
The in-app Help page is the full operator manual (routes, Glom-On, APIs, troubleshooting).
MCP server (stdio)
uv run python -m kyutai_mcp
Wire this in Cursor/your client as a stdio MCP server. See docs/MCP.md.

Related: speech-mcp (cloud voice)
speech-mcp is the cloud counterpart to this project. Where kyutai-mcp runs Moshi locally on your GPU, speech-mcp connects to cloud speech APIs.
| kyutai-mcp (this repo) | speech-mcp | |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Moshi (Kyutai, open-source) | Gemini Live, Gemini TTS, Hume, ElevenLabs |
| Runs on | Local GPU (RTX 4090, CUDA) | Cloud APIs |
| Privacy | Fully offline | Cloud |
| Latency | Low (local) | Sub-second (Gemini Live) |
| Voice quality | Good | Very good to highest |
| Voice cloning | No | Yes (ElevenLabs IVC) |
| Multilingual | Limited | 100+ languages (Gemini TTS) |
| Cost | Free after hardware | API usage costs |
Use kyutai-mcp when privacy or offline operation matters. Use speech-mcp when voice quality, multilingual coverage, or voice cloning is the priority. Both expose the same portmanteau MCP tool pattern and can be run simultaneously on different ports.
This project adheres to SOTA 14.1 industrial standards for high-fidelity agentic orchestration:
- Python (Core): Ruff for linting and formatting. Zero-tolerance for
printstatements in core handlers (T201). - Webapp (UI): Biome for sub-millisecond linting. Strict
noConsoleLogenforcement. - Protocol Compliance: Hardened
stdout/stderrisolation to ensure crash-resistant JSON-RPC communication. - Automation: Justfile recipes for all fleet operations (
just lint,just fix,just dev). - Security: Automated audits via
banditandsafety.
