Voice-Mode MCP – Conversational Coding for Claude Code, Gemini CLI
When I heard about Google's clone of Claude Code this morning I tried out my 2 week old MCP server and instantly had two way voice conversation with it. Gemini seemed a bit confused by this. :-) https://youtu.be/HC6BGxjCVnM?feature=shared&t=36 It's a FOSS MCP server I created a couple of weeks ago: - https://getvoicemode.com - https://github.com/mbailey/voicemode # Installation (~/.gemini/settings.json) { "theme": "Dracula", "selectedAuthType": "oauth-personal", "mcpServers": { "voice-mode": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "voice-mode" ] }…

What it does
VoiceMode brings natural voice conversations to Claude Code and other AI coding assistants. Open-source, local-first, and OpenAI-compatible.
Natural, hands-free voice conversations with Claude Code and other AI coding assistants — local, private, and free. Two ways in. The Claude Code plugin is the fastest; the Python installer wires VoiceMode in as an MCP server. The installer checks dependencies (PortAudio, FFmpeg), sets up shell completions, and configures optional local Whisper + Kokoro services. Full steps in the Getting Started guide . Natural back-and-forth with Claude through your mic and speakers — laptop, AirPods, whatever you've got. Works with OpenAI's API or any compatible service for speech — swap providers without touching your setup. A reliable Model Context Protocol server that drops into Claude Code and Claude…from getvoicemode.com

Gemini CLI2025 · blog.google · ▲224A simple weekend project, to check if chat conversation could be used on CLI. Uses Google Gemini's gemini-2.0-flash model. Configs will make it nicer, but I wanted to keep it simple to test and launch for now. I can add things for you :) Please give it a try!
Gemini Plugin for Claude CodeApr 2026 · github.com · ▲11I built a plugin that lets Claude Code delegate work to Gemini CLI. I started this after finding myself reaching for Gemini more often on long context repo work. I have been especially liking Gemini’s codebaseinvestigator for long context. This is inspired by openai/codex-plugin-cc. Code Review, adversarial review. Under the hood its Gemini CLI over ACP Would love feedback from people using Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or ACP. I am especially curious whether this feels useful outside my own workflow. Its a great combo with Opus 4.7 + Gemini 3.1 workflows
Comet MCP – Give Claude Code a browser that can clickJan 2026 · github.com · ▲28Hey HN, Claude Code is pretty agentic now. It writes scripts, calls APIs, uses CLIs. But when something requires actually clicking through a website, it stops and asks me to do it. Problem is, I'm often unfamiliar with these platforms myself. "Go to App Store Connect and generate a P8 key" okay but where? I end up spending 10 minutes navigating menus I've never seen before. I started delegating these tasks to Perplexity's Comet browser. It handles the clicking, returns what I need. But copy-pasting between Claude and Comet got old fast. So I built this MCP server to connect them directly.…

Talanoa▲341Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
