Questions about this entry
Short answers drawn from the linked project or page.
Either a Vercel AI Gateway key or a TypeSafe key from console.typesafe.ai/keys. Audio transcription needs a Vercel AI Gateway key; a TypeSafe key covers Jev calls only.
The browser page saves it to ~/.config/jev-kit/config.json, readable only by you. On a Mac you can keep it in the Keychain instead, or set AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY or TYPESAFE_API_KEY in the environment.
Run claude mcp add jev-kit -e AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY=your_key -- npx -y @leighefford/jev-kit. If the key is already in your Keychain, leave out the -e flag. Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and Zed use the same npx command.
MP3, M4A, WAV or WebM up to 24 MB, or a recording made straight from your microphone. Transcription runs through Vercel AI Gateway with openai/whisper-1 at about $0.006 per minute.
Run npx -y @leighefford/jev-kit serve --http --port 3333, put a tunnel such as cloudflared in front of it, then add the tunnel URL plus the printed secret path as a connector in ChatGPT developer mode.
Steering Wheel judges every sentence of a draft, Semantic Bisect is git bisect for bugs a test cannot catch, Anything-vs-Anything Physics is a common-sense rulebook, and Collision Engine scores pairs of notes for surprising and useful combinations.
