Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

claude-code-talk-to-me CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

TalkToMe is a Claude Code plugin (MCP server) that enables Claude to communicate via audio - using your computer's microphone and speakers for real-time voice conversations. Written in Python 3.10+, using the MCP SDK, and communicating via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

v3.0 is cloud-only: Speech processing is handled by ElevenLabs cloud services for simple setup and cross-platform compatibility.

Development Commands

Setup and Run

# Install Python dependencies (requires uv)
cd server && uv pip install -e .

# Run the MCP server
uv run -m talktome_mcp.server

Prerequisites

# Install ffmpeg (required for audio conversion)
# Linux (Ubuntu/Debian): sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
# Linux (Fedora): sudo dnf install ffmpeg
# macOS: brew install ffmpeg

Code Quality

# Install pre-commit hooks (first time setup)
pre-commit install

# Run linting manually
ruff check server/

# Run linting with auto-fix
ruff check --fix server/

# Run formatting
ruff format server/

Pre-commit hooks run automatically on git commit and include:

  • ruff: Fast Python linter with auto-fix (--fix)
  • ruff-format: Code formatter (Black-compatible)

Environment Configuration

Copy .env.example to .env.local and configure:

  • Required: TALKTOME_ELEVENLABS_API_KEY (get from https://elevenlabs.io)
  • TTS settings (voice ID, model, stability)
  • STT settings (model, language, VAD parameters)

Architecture

Provider Pattern

The codebase uses abstract provider interfaces in server/talktome_mcp/providers/base.py:

  • PhoneProvider: Abstract audio I/O interface (LocalPhoneProvider for system audio)
  • TTSProvider: Abstract text-to-speech (ElevenLabsTTSProvider for cloud)
  • STTProvider: Abstract speech-to-text base class
  • RealtimeSTTProvider: Extends STTProvider for streaming audio with VAD (ElevenLabsSTTProvider)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
