Generate Audio Flashcards with AI Using the Audio Flash MCP Connector

Connect Claude or ChatGPT to the Audio Flash MCP server and turn any conversation into hands-free audio flashcards.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT talk to outside tools and data sources in a consistent way. Instead of copy-pasting prompts back and forth, an MCP server exposes a set of actions that the LLM can call directly inside your chat — things like "create a deck" or "add these cards" happen with a single request.

Build audio-only flashcards straight from your favorite LLM

Audio Flash runs its own MCP server at https://mcp.audioflash.app/mcp. Once you connect it to Claude or ChatGPT, you can ask the AI to generate a study set on any topic — a language, a certification, a book you're reading — and it will create a real Audio Flash deck for you in one step. Every card becomes a hands-free audio flashcard you can play back on the go, so you spend more time studying and less time formatting spreadsheets.

Set up the Audio Flash connector in ChatGPT

Custom MCP connectors are available in ChatGPT's developer settings. To wire up Audio Flash:

  1. Open Settings in ChatGPT and go to Connectors.
  2. Under Advanced, enable Developer mode.
  3. Click Create to add a new custom connector.
  4. Set the name to Audio Flash and the MCP Server URL to https://mcp.audioflash.app/mcp.
  5. Save the connector, then start a new chat and enable the Audio Flash tool from the message composer.
  6. Ask ChatGPT to build a deck, for example: "Create an Audio Flash deck with 25 Spanish restaurant phrases." Follow the returned link to study it.

Set up the Audio Flash connector in Claude

Claude supports custom MCP connectors on both the desktop app and claude.ai. The steps are almost identical:

  1. Open Settings in Claude and select Connectors.
  2. Scroll to Custom connectors and click Add custom connector.
  3. Set the name to Audio Flash and the Remote MCP server URL to https://mcp.audioflash.app/mcp.
  4. Click Add, then enable Audio Flash from the tools menu in a new chat.
  5. Prompt Claude to build a deck, for example: "Make an Audio Flash deck of 30 SAT vocab words with example sentences." Open the deck URL Claude returns to start listening.

Enjoy using Audio Flash to learn your favorite stuff!
