Yaps plugins for Claude Code

Local-first voice, transcription, media, translation, and memory tools for Claude Code, powered by the Yaps desktop app.

Everything runs on your computer. Your audio, video, notes, and documents are processed by the Yaps engine installed on your machine, not uploaded to a cloud service by these plugins.

Install

For Cursor, choose from twelve focused plugins, including Auto Cut, background removal, transcription, and Memory. Each has one skill and one named MCP server. They share a maintained runtime and existing Yaps models. The earlier combined Yaps listing remains available during the transition. Grok Bot distribution and local execution have not been validated.

Add the marketplace once:

claude plugin marketplace add richawo/yaps-plugins

Then install any plugin:

claude plugin install yaps-memory@yaps

Or browse everything interactively with /plugin.

Requirements

• The Yaps desktop app installed on macOS or Windows (Linux via the official deb/rpm package). Yaps 2.3.124 or newer is required for credential-free account checks.
• Claude Code. No separate CLI install, no PATH edits, and no API keys: each plugin discovers the CLI bundled inside your installed Yaps app and verifies it with a bounded, read-only status check before use.
• A Yaps free trial or Yaps Pro for the gated features. The plugins detect your account state automatically and explain exactly what to do if something is missing.

How it works

Each plugin ships a skill that teaches Claude when and how to run the corresponding Yaps workflow through the locally installed Yaps CLI. File access follows Claude Code's normal permission model: reading your input files and writing results is governed by the same approvals as any other tool use.

yaps-memory additionally ships an MCP server that connects Claude to your private local Markdown vault. It starts read-only; vault writes are opt-in under Yaps → Settings → Agent Access.

Privacy

Processing happens on your device through the Yaps app. See the Yaps privacy policy and terms.

Cursor

The twelve Cursor repositories are generated from cursor/standalone-plugins.json. They use the shared runtime in cursor/yaps/, which stays aligned with mcpb/yaps/server. See submission status, installation details, and validation. Cursor Directory submissions are separate from the official Cursor marketplace.
