Configure narrate's TTS provider and API key. Optional — narrate already works out of the box with the OS voice. Use this to upgrade to a higher-quality cloud voice (Gemini or ElevenLabs), or to switch providers/voices.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Configure narrate (TTS provider & key)

narrate works immediately with the **OS's built-in voice** (no key), so this is an
**optional upgrade** step. Run it when the user wants higher-quality cloud
narration or to switch providers/voices. Settings and keys are **global** — saved
once in `~/.narrate/settings.json` and used by every project — with optional
per-project overrides in the gitignored `./.narrate/settings.local.json`.

## The CLI

```bash
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/narrate.mjs" <command> …
```

(In the source monorepo: `pnpm narrate …`.)

## Steps

1. **Check what's already set.** Run `check` first — if the global settings already
   have the provider/key the user wants, there's nothing to do:
   ```bash
   node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/narrate.mjs" check
   ```
   The `config:` line shows each value's origin (`global`, `project`, `default`).

2. **Pick a provider + get a key.** If `$ARGUMENTS` already names a provider, use
   it; otherwise ask the user which they want:
   - **Gemini** — free key at https://aistudio.google.com/apikey
   - **ElevenLabs** — key from https://elevenlabs.io (dashboard → API key)
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tomek-i/narrate-plugin/narrate-setup@sha256:d207125a9ad1d919

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.c547d3d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
