details to know

  • remote mcp — no local hyv install required on this path
  • anthropic connects from its cloud to holdyourvoice.com, not from your laptop
  • free plan: one custom connector; pro/max/team/enterprise: more
  • paid hyv account required for voice profile tools beyond hyv_scan

limits and edge cases

  • a chat prompt alone cannot create the connector — use customize → connectors
  • if tools never fire, the connector is probably off for this chat — check + → connectors
  • claude desktop local stdio mcp is a separate path — see use-hyv-in-claude-desktop
