# Yaps Read-aloud
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.
- `tts_voices` — list installed reading engines and voice ids before synthesizing.
- `text_to_speech` — synthesize text or a text file to a local WAV (or raw PCM only if requested). Prefer `text_file` for long or multiline text. Pass `language` for non-English text so Supertonic is used.
- `yaps_enable_feature` — only after the user explicitly asks to install a reading voice.
## 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](https://yaps.ai/download), ask the user to open the app on this machine, and retry from a local Cursor session.
## Boundaries
- Do not silently send the text to an unrelated hosted speech service.
- Preserve the user's text; do not rewrite the script unless requested.
- Never replace an existing output file without explicit approval.
- Use the transcribe or dictation skills for speech-to-text.
