- 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)

- n/a `auth.prm`, `auth.as_metadata`, `auth.cimd`: no remote uses OAuth
- n/a `auth.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: 79 (weight 30)

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-14 `barevalue_content` changed (description)
  - before: The show notes, the transcript and the edit summary of a finished order as text, with no file to download and parse. Available once barevalue_status reports "done". The include parameter limits the answer to the parts named; the transcript of a long episode is large.
  - after: The show notes, the full transcript with speaker labels and the edit summary of an edited podcast episode, as text, with no file to download and parse. Available once barevalue_status reports "done". The include parameter limits the answer to the parts named; the transcript of a long episode is large.
- 2026-10-14 `barevalue_status` changed (description)
  - before: Status of an order. While processing it reports the current step, percentage and estimated seconds remaining. When status is "done" it lists each file with its kind (edited_audio, clip, show_notes, transcript and others) and a download URL valid for 24 hours, says what the edit changed, and says what is not included and why. When status is "failed" it gives the reason and what can be done next.
  - after: Status of a podcast editing order. While processing it reports the current step, percentage and estimated seconds remaining. When status is "done" it lists each file with its kind (edited_audio, clip, show_notes, transcript and others) and a download URL valid for 24 hours, says what the edit changed, and says what is not included and why. When status is "failed" it gives the reason and what can be done next.
- 2026-10-14 `barevalue_submit_url` changed (description, inputSchema) **meaning changed**
  - before: Orders AI podcast editing for an audio file at a public URL. The file is downloaded, edited (noise, levels, filler words, dead air) and returned with a transcript, plus show notes and highlight clips for longer episodes. Audio only, one file with one audio track, up to 60 minutes. Returns an order_id. The order's progress and result are reported by barevalue_status. A file with no link is ordered with the upload_id that barevalue_upload returns, in place of file_url.
  - after: Edits a podcast episode or interview recording with AI and returns the finished audio. The edit removes background noise, hum and hiss, trims filler words such as um and uh, cuts long pauses and dead air, evens out the levels of the speakers and masters the loudness to -16 LUFS. Cuts or other changes can be asked for in special_instructions. Every order includes a transcript with speaker labels, and an episode of 10 minutes or more also gets show notes and short highlight clips for social media. It takes a recording in MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, AAC, OGG, WMA or AIFF, in any of 58 languages, and delivers MP3 at up to 320 kbps, with a WAV as well when the original is lossless. Audio only, one file with one audio track, up to 60 minutes. It edits the recording itself and creates no audio with AI: no translation or dubbing, no synthetic voices, no generated music or sound effects, no video. Free within the monthly allowance of the account. Returns an order_id. The order's progress and result are reported by barevalue_status. A file with no link is ordered with the upload_id that barevalue_upload returns, in place of file_url.
- 2026-10-14 `barevalue_validate` changed (description)
  - before: Pre-checks an audio file at a URL without ordering it: confirms it can be downloaded, measures its length and checks that it is speech and not music or silence. Nothing is charged.
  - after: Pre-checks a podcast or other audio recording at a URL without ordering an edit: confirms the link downloads, measures the length and checks that the file is speech and not music or silence. Nothing is charged.
- 2026-10-14 `barevalue_estimate` changed (description)
  - before: Reports whether the account can cover an AI editing order of a given length, before any order is placed. Nothing is charged.
  - after: Reports what an AI podcast edit of a given length would use from the account and whether the account can cover it, before any order is placed. Nothing is charged.
- 2026-10-14 `barevalue_account` changed (description)
  - before: Account details: credit balance, minutes available and any limits on the account.
  - after: Account details: the editing minutes left in the free monthly allowance, credit balance and any limits on the account.
- 2026-10-14 `barevalue_pricing` changed (description) **meaning changed**
  - before: Current pricing, plans, supported formats and capabilities. No API key needed.
  - after: What AI podcast editing costs and what it includes: the free monthly allowance, plans, supported audio formats, languages, length limits and features. No API key needed.
- 2026-10-14 `barevalue_register` changed (inputSchema)
- 2026-10-11 `barevalue_list_orders` changed (inputSchema)
- 2026-10-11 `barevalue_updates` changed (description, inputSchema)
  - before: Everything that happened on the account since you last asked: an order was received, is ready, or failed and why, or the email address was confirmed. It carries what our emails say, so your user does not need to watch an inbox. Pass the cursor from the previous result as since. Without since it covers the last 24 hours. An update can come back on two consecutive calls: each has an id that never changes, so skip the ones you have already handled.
  - after: Everything that happened on the account since a given moment: an order was received, is ready, or failed and why, or the email address was confirmed. It carries what our emails say, so the user can follow an order without watching an inbox. The result includes a cursor, and a call that gives it back as since starts where this one ended. Without since it covers the last 24 hours. Each update has an id that never changes, so the same update can be recognised if it comes back on two consecutive calls.

## Packages

- npm barevalue-mcp@1.5.0 secrets: BAREVALUE_API_KEY

## Tools (14)

- `barevalue_account`: Account details: the editing minutes left in the free monthly allowance, credit balance and any limits on the account.
- `barevalue_api_status`: Service health, queue depth and expected processing times. No API key needed.
- `barevalue_content`: The show notes, the full transcript with speaker labels and the edit summary of an edited podcast episode, as text, with no file to download and parse. Available once barevalue_status reports "done". The include parameter limits the answer to the parts named; the transcript of a long episode is large.
- `barevalue_estimate`: Reports what an AI podcast edit of a given length would use from the account and whether the account can cover it, before any order is placed. Nothing is charged.
- `barevalue_feedback`: Records the user's rating of a finished order, positive or negative, with an optional comment and list of issues. Our team is told. A second rating for the same order replaces the first, comment included.
- `barevalue_list_orders`: Recent orders on the account with their status.
- `barevalue_pricing`: What AI podcast editing costs and what it includes: the free monthly allowance, plans, supported audio formats, languages, length limits and features. No API key needed.
- `barevalue_register`: Creates a Barevalue account and returns a working API key in one call, with no password and no email click before the first order. The email is the address of the person the account is for, and that person receives a verification link. Until the link is clicked the account has a small free allowance ("allowance" in the result), and after it the full free monthly allowance. The returned api_key is what the other tools take as api_key. An address that already has an account gets no second key here (registration_failed): its owner makes one at barevalue.com, Settings, API Keys.
- `barevalue_request_revision`: Re-edits a finished order with new instructions, for example "keep the story about the dog, it was cut" or "the intro music is too loud". It creates a new order from the original recording and returns its order_id. The progress and result of that order are reported by barevalue_status. It uses the same minutes from the allowance as the original order. Every revision is made from the original recording, so one request carries everything that is to be different. It returns the edited audio. The show notes and clips are made again only when the instructions ask for them.
- `barevalue_status`: Status of a podcast editing order. While processing it reports the current step, percentage and estimated seconds remaining. When status is "done" it lists each file with its kind (edited_audio, clip, show_notes, transcript and others) and a download URL valid for 24 hours, says what the edit changed, and says what is not included and why. When status is "failed" it gives the reason and what can be done next.
- `barevalue_submit_url`: Edits a podcast episode or interview recording with AI and returns the finished audio. The edit removes background noise, hum and hiss, trims filler words such as um and uh, cuts long pauses and dead air, evens out the levels of the speakers and masters the loudness to -16 LUFS. Cuts or other changes can be asked for in special_instructions. Every order includes a transcript with speaker labels, and an episode of 10 minutes or more also gets show notes and short highlight clips for social media. It takes a recording in MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, AAC, OGG, WMA or AIFF, in any of 58 languages, and delivers MP3 at up to 320 kbps, with a WAV as well when the original is lossless. Audio only, one file with one audio track, up to 60 minutes. It edits the recording itself and creates no audio with AI: no translation or dubbing, no synthetic voices, no generated music or sound effects, no video. Free within the monthly allowance of the account. Returns an order_id. The order's progress and result are reported by barevalue_status. A file with no link is ordered with the upload_id that barevalue_upload returns, in place of file_url.
- `barevalue_updates`: Everything that happened on the account since a given moment: an order was received, is ready, or failed and why, or the email address was confirmed. It carries what our emails say, so the user can follow an order without watching an inbox. The result includes a cursor, and a call that gives it back as since starts where this one ended. Without since it covers the last 24 hours. Each update has an id that never changes, so the same update can be recognised if it comes back on two consecutive calls.
- `barevalue_upload`: For a recording that is a file on the machine the agent runs on and has no link. Returns an upload_id and a ready curl command that sends the file from that machine (storage answers 204 when the upload worked). The upload_id is then accepted by barevalue_submit_url in place of file_url. One audio file, up to 750 MB and 60 minutes. The upload link works for 15 minutes and an upload can be ordered once. A recording that already has a direct link needs no upload: barevalue_submit_url takes the link itself.
- `barevalue_validate`: Pre-checks a podcast or other audio recording at a URL without ordering an edit: confirms the link downloads, measures the length and checks that the file is speech and not music or silence. Nothing is charged.
