# Yaps Dictation
Use the existing Yaps MCP 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.
- `dictation_status` : readiness of system-wide voice typing (app, account, installed engines). Live capture uses the Yaps global shortcut under **Yaps → Settings → Shortcuts**; this tool only reports readiness.
- `dictation_history_recover` : list recent local dictations so one can be restored into chat.
- `yaps_enable_feature` : only after the user explicitly asks to install a dictation 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 Claude Code session cannot see the Yaps engine on this computer. Do not claim Yaps is uninstalled. Offer [Download Yaps](https://yaps.ai/download), ask the user to open the app on this machine, and retry from a local Claude Code session.
## Boundaries
- Do not intercept Claude Code's native microphone control.
- Do not start recording invisibly.
- Do not transcribe an existing media file here; use the yaps-transcription skill.
