Introducing AgentVibes v2.0.17

Finally! Your agents can talk back! 🎤

We're thrilled to announce AgentVibes v2.0.17 - our biggest release yet, transforming how you interact with AI assistants across Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Warp Terminal.

🌟 Headline Features

🎙️ AgentVibes MCP Server - Natural Language Control

The game-changer: MCP (Model Context Protocol) server support!

What does this mean? Instead of memorizing slash commands like /agent-vibes:switch Aria, you can now simply say:

"Switch to Aria voice" "Change personality to sarcastic" "Speak in French"

The MCP server is essentially a plugin that exposes AgentVibes functionality directly to your AI assistant. Your assistant understands what you want and calls the right functions automatically.

The Big Win: This enables Claude Desktop support! 🎉

AgentVibes started as a Claude Code exclusive, but with MCP, it now works seamlessly in Claude Desktop (Anthropic's ChatGPT competitor). Give Claude Desktop the command:

"Every time I give you a command, speak the acknowledgement using AgentVibes and confirm what you completed when done"

Watch the magic happen!

Supported Platforms:

• Claude Code - Original platform, now with slash commands OR MCP
• Claude Desktop - NEW! Full MCP support
• Warp Terminal - AI-powered terminal with voice feedback

📚 Language Learning Mode - Learn While You Code

Turn your coding sessions into immersive language learning experiences!

Every task acknowledgment plays twice:

1. First in your native language (English)
2. Then in your target language (Spanish, French, German, etc.)

Example:

Claude: "I'll check that git status for you" 🔊
Claude: "Voy a revisar ese estado de git para ti" 🔊

Repetition is key to learning - hearing phrases over and over in context helps them stick. Plus, it makes your coding journey way more fun!

Quick Start:

/agent-vibes:learn                    # Enable learning mode
/agent-vibes:target spanish           # Set target language
/agent-vibes:set-speed target 0.75x   # Slow down for better comprehension

Supports 30+ languages including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and more!

🔊 SSH Audio Optimization - Perfect Remote Development

Working on remote servers? Auto-detected SSH audio optimization eliminates static and clicking sounds!

AgentVibes now automatically detects when you're in an SSH session (VS Code Remote SSH, regular SSH, cloud dev environments) and converts audio to the optimal format for perfect playback.

No configuration needed - it just works! ✨
