- n/a `protocol.stateless`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- n/a `protocol.list_ttl`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers

### authorization: n/a (weight 15)

- pass `tools.annotations`: 6 of 6 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- warn `tools.directory_hints`: 3 of 6 tools declare all four hints; missing: list_voices (destructiveHint); list_dialects (destructiveHint); get_plan (destructiveHint)
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 1,817 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 100 (weight 15)

- pass `stability.changes`: no tool changes in 30 days
- pass `stability.rug_pull`: no tool changed its meaning under the same name

### dependencies: n/a (weight 15)

## Tools (6)

- `get_plan`: Show what this connection may use. With an API key: your current plan, remaining allowance, which model_versions and speaker ids you may render. Without a key: the purchasable plan ladder and how to get a key. Free, no credits consumed. Call this FIRST when any tool returns a 401 or 403 — it is the fastest way to learn what went wrong.
- `list_dialects`: List the supported Kurdish dialects and their scripts. Static capability descriptor — costs nothing and needs no API key.
- `list_voices`: List available Kurdish text-to-speech voices. Returns speaker ids to use with synthesize_speech. Free metadata call — no credits consumed, no API key needed. Defaults to model_version "v3", the SAME default synthesize_speech uses — pass the same model_version to both, because a speaker id from one catalog does not exist in another. Results are paginated; the response reports total_count and which ids a free plan may render.
- `start_streaming_transcription`: Open a live speech-to-text session for LISTENING — a microphone or audio stream you transcribe in real time. This does NOT make anything speak; to speak Kurdish use synthesize_speech, or POST https://www.kurdishtts.com/api/tts-stream for progressive audio. WARNING: calling this immediately consumes one streaming session from your STT plan quota — only call it when you are ready to connect. Returns a websocket_url: open it, stream PCM16 mono 16kHz audio chunks, send {"type": "finalize"} to flush and {"type": "done"} to close. Session duration is limited by plan.
- `synthesize_speech`: Convert Kurdish text (Sorani or Kurmanji) to speech audio. Requires a TTS API key; characters are billed against your plan. Get speaker_id from list_voices called with the SAME model_version you pass here (default "v3") — ids are not shared between catalogs. Returns one complete clip: MCP cannot stream, so for a live voice agent call POST https://www.kurdishtts.com/api/tts-stream directly instead (SSE, first audio in ~1s). Max 4000 characters per call in the default mp3 container, 600 with format "wav"; free plans are capped at 500 server-side. Note: speed is caller-facing (higher = faster).
- `transcribe_audio`: Transcribe Kurdish audio (Sorani or Kurmanji) to text. Requires an STT API key; usage is metered per audio minute against your plan. IMPORTANT: dialect selects the decoder and nothing detects it for you — transcribing Sorani audio as Kurmanji returns fluent, confident, WRONG text with no error. Pass dialect "auto" when you are not certain, and pick the coherent transcript from the two it returns. Max 3MB of decoded audio over MCP (~90s of 16kHz WAV, but ~25 minutes of 64kbps MP3 — send compressed audio to fit more); for larger files call POST https://www.kurdishtts.com/api/stt-proxy directly (multipart).
