Manoma MCP Server

soul.md

Your identity, not theirs. One file, every AI.

soul.md is an open format for your AI identity — values, voice, skills, taste. A plaintext file you own, version in git, and carry between tools. Manoma is the reference MCP server that makes any LLM read your soul.md.

• User-owned — lives on your machine, in your repo. No cloud, no account, no vendor.
• Portable — works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Zenflow, and any MCP-aware client.
• Built to outlive models — git-diffable, forkable, versioned. A format, not a walled garden.

See the soul.md format specification.

Install

One line in your Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Zenflow config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "manoma": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "manoma-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Then drop your soul.md at ~/soul.md.

Get a soul.md

• Web builder — manoma.ai/build — fill the form, download the file.
• Template — cp templates/founder.md ~/soul.md (also: engineer.md, designer.md, pm.md).

Tools the MCP server exposes

Read — get_context(mode?), get_injection(mode?, message?), get_skill_depth(skill), list_sections().

Write-back — add_decision(...), add_lesson(...), update_now(...).

Resources expose every section as soul://section/<path>, plus soul://full for the whole file.

Full details in mcp/README.md and SPEC.md.

Philosophy

Every AI vendor wants to own your memory. soul.md is the opposite bet: your identity as a plaintext file you control, interchangeable between tools, diff-able in git, outliving any individual model.

The schema is the thing. The runtime is just how it's read.
