1.2.0

April 20, 2026

A release focused on making VivaDicta scriptable and agent-driven. A new command-line tool, an expanded MCP server, and an official agent skill pack.

Command-line tool

  • New vivadicta CLI installable via brew install n0an/tap/vivadicta
  • Browse history, search with filters, export to Obsidian, rewrite with any preset, transcribe files or YouTube URLs - all from your terminal
  • TTY-aware output: readable tables in your shell, JSON when piped into jq, a script, or a Raycast action
  • Shell completions for zsh, bash, and fish via vivadicta --generate-completion-script

MCP server

  • VivaDicta now exposes 12 tools to AI assistants (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex CLI, Zed, VS Code, and any other stdio MCP client)
  • Reads: search and fetch transcriptions with natural-language timeframes; list presets, tags, Viva Modes, vocabulary, word replacements
  • Writes: rewrite with any preset; transcribe local audio files or YouTube URLs with live progress polling; poll async job status
  • Install via brew install n0an/tap/vivadicta-mcp

Agent skill pack

  • Official skill pack so AI assistants know when and how to call vivadicta for you
  • Install with npx skills add n0an/vivadicta-cli-skills --global
  • Covers transcribe, search-and-rewrite, and vault-export flows end-to-end

Clipboard setting fix

  • The toggle in Settings → Clipboard was labeled "Copy to Clipboard" but, when on, actually disabled clipboard restoration
  • Renamed to "Restore Clipboard After Paste" so the label, behavior, and the nested "Restore Delay" picker all agree
  • Existing preference is migrated automatically

Provider polish

  • VivAgents server surfaces a clear error in the UI when the port is already in use, and exposes the port it's actually listening on
  • Custom OpenAI-compatible providers auto-append /chat/completions when only the base URL is pasted
  • Cerebras default model updated to llama3.1-8b
  • MLX generation parameters tuned to reduce repetition in outputs
