01 · Install Soulsketch

before you install - you'll need

Set SOULSKETCH_ALLOWED_ROOTS, MEMORY_FILE_PATH before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add bytewizard42i-soulsketch -- npx -y @soulsketch/mcp-server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bytewizard42i-soulsketch": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@soulsketch/mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

npm package @soulsketch/mcp-server - the @soulsketch scope differs from the repo owner (bytewizard42i); confirm it's the project's official package

registry namespace io.github.bytewizard42i is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Soulsketch can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

Limitations (from the README)

SoulSketch is intentionally honest about where it is on the maturity curve: - Single-maintainer track record. The protocol has been exercised primarily by one user (the maintainer) across a small AI family. There is no large-scale third-party validation yet. - No formal evaluation of "identity preservation." Claims about continuity between model versions are based on subjective qualitative observation, not benchmarks
