  "description": "Hume's official MCP server drives Octave, a speech-language model that 'performs' text rather than just pronouncing it, with prompt-directed emotion and delivery. Ideal for film dialogue and narration where acting nuance matters; agents can iterate on takes, save designed voices, and replay prior audio.",
