What is tts-mcp AGENTS.md?

Repository instructions for tts-mcp, a Python project that provides text-to-speech tools and command-line programs. Text-to-speech converts written words into spoken audio.

Use them when changing tts-mcp to find its server, speech, voice, authentication, and test code; set up the project; run tests and linting; and follow its Python style.

They give a coding agent the project layout, required development commands, and conventions for testing and maintaining the code.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01109	$0.01109
Opus 5.5	$0.00444	$0.00444
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00222	$0.00222
Haiku 4.5	$0.00111	$0.00111

Security

Grade A, and why

tts-mcp AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 2mo 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Canonical Dev Commands

Use Make targets first:

make setup
make test
make lint
make lint-fix

What they do:

make setup: create .venv, install editable package + dev deps, set git hooks
make test: run pytest via .venv/bin/python -m pytest
make lint: run ruff check --output-format=concise . and ruff format --check .
make lint-fix: auto-fix lint issues and apply formatting

Code Style Guidelines

Imports

Group and sort imports: stdlib, third-party, local
Follow Ruff isort behavior; do not hand-format against it
No wildcard imports; remove unused imports

Formatting

Line length is 120
Use double quotes (Ruff formatter default)
Let Ruff handle spacing/wrapping

Types

Prefer explicit type annotations for params and returns
Keep from __future__ import annotations (existing project pattern)
Use built-in generics (list[str], dict[str, Any], etc.)
Use dataclasses for structured transfer objects

Naming

snake_case: functions, vars, modules
PascalCase: classes/dataclasses
UPPER_SNAKE_CASE: constants
Tests named test_<behavior>

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.
