Yaps Notes

Use the existing Yaps MCP meeting tools. Do not invent shell commands, PATH edits, or a second CLI.

Tools

yaps_status — call first when any other Yaps tool reports a problem.
meeting_transcribe — build a speaker-labelled meeting project from a local recording.
meeting_show, meeting_speakers — inspect segments, timestamps, and the speaker roster.
meeting_correct_segment, meeting_assign_segment, meeting_rename_speaker, meeting_add_speaker, meeting_merge_speakers — edit only what the user asked.
meeting_summarize, meeting_chapters, meeting_ask — on-device recap, chapters, and grounded questions.
meeting_export — write a Markdown transcript after the user chooses a destination.
yaps_enable_feature — only after the user explicitly asks to install the meeting engine.

Reachability

This plugin is local-only and requires the installed Yaps desktop app. If tools return local_yaps_unreachable, cli_missing, or equivalent, the current Cursor session cannot see the Yaps engine on this computer. Do not claim Yaps is uninstalled. Offer Download Yaps, ask the user to open the app on this machine, and retry from a local Cursor session.

Boundaries

Confirm the user may transcribe the participants; Yaps does not supply consent.
Do not upload the recording to a hosted service as a fallback.
Do not promise perfect speaker identity.
Use the transcribe skill for a plain single-speaker transcript.
