Pronounce MCP Server

Stop saying "kub-cuttle". One Bash command pronounces 1,903 developer jargon names - most with a cited source. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with bash, developer tools and pronunciation and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · container (OCI image) - can be sandboxed away from your filesystem

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package pronounce-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.anzy-renlab-ai is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
