This update expands OpenVox with deeper automation, better read-aloud workflows, and several reliability improvements.

The biggest addition is the all-new revamped menu bar. You can now quickly access OpenVox actions, check resource status, and manage common workflows without opening the full app every time.

OpenVox 2.2.0 also adds MCP support, making it easier to connect OpenVox with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other AI agents. The goal is to make local voice generation more useful inside automation and agent workflows, not just inside the main app UI.

What’s new in 2.2.0:

* Added an all-new revamped menu bar with quick access to actions and resource status.
* Added MCP support for Claude Code,Codex, Cursor, and other AI agents.
* Improved the Select & Read page layout.
* Improved handling for larger models in Select & Read.
* Added a notch-style model loading animation.
* Fixed model generation defaults so each model keeps its own parameter settings.
* Fixed Voice Changer so it respects the “Auto-play generated audio” setting.
* Fixed audiobook play buttons incorrectly remaining after generated audio or local data was cleared.

This update is mainly about making OpenVox feel more useful as a daily Mac tool, especially for read-aloud, local automation, audiobook workflows, and AI agent experiments.

As always, if anything feels broken or weird after updating, please let me know.
