'''Media Resource Control Protocol''' ('''MRCP''') is a communication protocol used by speech servers to provide various services (such as [[speech recognition]] and [[speech synthesis]]) to their clients. MRCP relies on another protocol, such as [[Real Time Streaming Protocol]] (RTSP) or [[Session Initiation Protocol]] ([[Session Initiation Protocol|SIP]]) for establishing a control session and audio streams between the client and the server.

MRCP uses a similar style of clear-text signaling as [[HTTP]] and many other Internet protocols, in which each message contains 3 sections: a first-line, a header and a body. The first line indicates the type of message as well as information such as response codes. The header contains a number of lines, each in the format '''<header>: <data>'''. The body, whose length is specified by the header, contains the details of the message.
