soul-mcp-server

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.
