VoiceGateway documentation

Self-hosted voice agent SDK for LiveKit voice agents. VoiceGateway is built for teams that want provider routing, per-modality cost visibility, and reconciliation against actual provider invoices while keeping their own keys.

Where VoiceGateway fits

VoiceGateway sits between your LiveKit agent and STT, LLM, and TTS providers. It tracks audio minutes, tokens, characters, latency, sessions, and project budgets without forcing you into a hosted inference runtime.

Install

For the full first-run path, start with Get started.

Run with Docker

git clone https://github.com/mahimailabs/voicegateway
cd voicegateway
docker compose up -d

Use from Claude Code

claude mcp add voicegateway --command "voicegw mcp --transport stdio"

Then ask Claude Code:

"Add Deepgram with this API key. Register nova-3 for STT. Create a project for Tony's Pizza with a five dollar daily budget using premium stack."

That flow avoids manual YAML editing and dashboard clicking for common setup tasks.
