Connect Telereader over MCP

Telereader runs a hosted MCP server, so any AI assistant that speaks the Model Context Protocol can read text aloud for you. Add it once, approve a one-time sign-in, and it exposes a single tool — **generate_audiobook** — that takes text and returns an openable reader URL.

• Server URL: https://telereader.ai/api/mcp
• Transport: Streamable HTTP
• Auth: OAuth — you approve once in the browser; there are no API keys to paste.

Pick your client.

Custom connectors are available on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise.

• Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
• Name it Telereader, set the URL to https://telereader.ai/api/mcp, and add it.
• Click Connect and approve the Telereader sign-in in your browser.

Then turn it on in a chat and ask it to read something.

Cline, Goose, and other MCP clients

Add https://telereader.ai/api/mcp as a remote / Streamable HTTP server and approve the OAuth prompt. For a client that only speaks stdio MCP, bridge to the hosted server with:

npx -y mcp-remote https://telereader.ai/api/mcp

Then just ask

Read this aloud with Telereader.

The generate_audiobook tool returns a readUrl — open it and the reading plays, words highlighting in sync. A free account is never paywalled; it gets a URL that generates the audio in the browser.
