MCP support

Exposes three tools to MCP clients: `validate_soul_file`, `generate_soul_template`, and `score_soul_file`.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
"mcpServers": {
"antoniotf5-soul": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"soul-mcp-server"
]
}
}
}
Run commandnpx -y soul-mcp-server

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

License: MIT

MCP server for SOUL.md — validate and generate soul files directly from Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible client.

Built for Agenturo — the reference SOUL.md implementation. Deploy your soul file as a live agent on your own subdomain.


30-second setup

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json (usually at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "soul-md-cli": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["soul-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The three soul tools will appear in your tool list.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
