Private on-device speech to text: transcribe audio files and search your Yap dictations. No upload.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Design, images & audio

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 0 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Download the maker’s .mcpb file

The link goes to the maker’s own file; we do not host or repackage it. Open the file and Claude Desktop installs it.

Run this in your terminal

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Common questions

Is Yap safe?

It passed 0 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 19 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need MCPB on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Yap MCP: private, on-device speech to text for AI assistants

Give Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf or any MCP client the ability to transcribe audio files on your own computer, and to search what you dictated with the Yap app. No upload, no API key, no account.

Yap MCP runs the same speech engine as the Yap dictation app: NVIDIA Parakeet TDT v3 through sherpa-onnx, on your CPU. Audio never leaves your machine; the only network request is a one-time, checksum-verified download of the speech model (about 670 MB) from Hugging Face.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
transcribe_audioTranscribes a local audio or video file of any length: WAV, MP3, M4A/AAC, MP4, FLAC, OGG, Opus, WebM, AIFF, CAF and more. Detects the language automatically among 25 European languages. Optional start-time stamps per passage and Yap's cleanup (capitalization, punctuation, "um" removed).
search_dictationsSearches the dictation history the Yap app keeps on this computer (Mac and Windows), newest first. Read-only.
prepare_speech_modelDownloads and verifies the speech model ahead of the first transcription, or reports its status.

Ask your assistant things like "transcribe ~/Downloads/interview.m4a with timestamps", "summarize the voice memo on my desktop", or "what did I dictate about the budget this week?".

Install

Requires Node.js 20 or newer (22.13+ for search_dictations). macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows x64 and Linux x64/arm64.

Claude Desktop, one click: download yap.mcpb and open it (macOS and Windows). Or add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "yap": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "github:founden-bot/yap-mcp"] } } }

Claude Code:

claude mcp add yap -- npx -y github:founden-bot/yap-mcp

Claude Code plugin: /plugin marketplace add founden-bot/yap-mcp, then /plugin install yap@yap. The plugin runs the server from its own folder (node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/src/index.js) with the dependencies pinned in package-lock.json, and adds the transcribe-recordings skill.

Gemini CLI: gemini extensions install https://github.com/founden-bot/yap-mcp.

Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Cline, Zed and other clients: add a stdio server with command npx and arguments -y github:founden-bot/yap-mcp.

The first transcription downloads the model once (a few minutes on a typical connection) and answers with the progress while it does; after that, everything runs offline. Transcription runs about ten times faster than real time on a modern laptop, so an hour of audio takes about six minutes.

In the terminal

The same engine as a command: npx -y -p github:founden-bot/yap-mcp yap-transcribe memo.m4a prints the transcript (add --timestamps for start times, several files at once are fine).

Languages

English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Greek, Croatian, Slovenian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian and Maltese.

Privacy

  • Audio is read from the path you give, decoded in memory and discarded. Nothing is uploaded, logged or stored.
  • search_dictations opens the Yap history database read-only and returns only the dictations that match; that text then goes to the assistant you are using, like anything else you show it.
  • Settings: YAP_MCP_CACHE moves the model cache (default: ~/Library/Caches/yap-mcp on macOS, %LOCALAPPDATA%\yap-mcp on Windows, ~/.cache/yap-mcp on Linux). On Windows, a model already downloaded by the Yap app is reused.

Dictate instead of type

Yap MCP handles recordings. To speak into any app as you work (your editor, Slack, email, the Claude and ChatGPT apps), use Yap: hold a key, talk, and the text appears where your cursor is, transcribed on your computer.

License

MIT for this code. The speech model is NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3 (CC-BY-4.0), ONNX conversion by the sherpa-onnx project (Apache-2.0).
