01 · Install Probe Kit

before you install - you'll need

Set MEMORY_QDRANT_URL, MEMORY_EMBEDDING_URL before connecting. MEMORY_QDRANT_COLLECTION, MEMORY_EMBEDDING_PROVIDER, MEMORY_EMBEDDING_API_KEY, MEMORY_EMBEDDING_MODEL are optional or environment-specific per the README.

Claude Code

claude mcp add mybolide-mcp-probe-kit -- npx -y mcp-probe-kit

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mybolide-mcp-probe-kit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-probe-kit"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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 MIT - declared in the repository

npm package mcp-probe-kit - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

03 · What Probe Kit can do

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

Limitations (from the README)

- Memory write capability is enabled only when MEMORY_QDRANT_URL, MEMORY_EMBEDDING_URL, and MEMORY_EMBEDDING_MODEL are configured - Memory read capability only requires MEMORY_QDRANT_URL - Qdrant collections are auto-created on first write with Cosine distance - Vector size is inferred from the first embedding response
