Yaps Video to Audio
Use the existing Yaps MCP tools. Do not invent CLI commands or upload the source to an online converter.
Call video_extract_audio with the exact local video_path, the requested format (mp3, wav, or m4a), and a separate matching output path. MP3 is the default for ordinary listening; use WAV when the user requests uncompressed audio. Preserve the source and any existing output.
Return a link to the audio file. This extracts the audio track; it does not create a transcript, isolate a speaker, or remove background noise. Use transcribe, notes, or audio-cleaner for those requests.
Reachability
Call yaps_status when a tool reports a problem. If it returns local_yaps_unreachable, cli_missing, or equivalent, the current session cannot see the Yaps engine. Do not claim Yaps is uninstalled. Offer Download Yaps, ask the user to open Yaps, and retry from a local session on the same computer.
