}Frequently asked questions
What does the Vulcanus MCP server do?
Generates a Git-versioned Markdown vault as project memory, then serves it over MCP. recall returns a project's capsule plus the read-next list and warns when the capsule is older than the decisions beneath it; search ranks by layer; writes are scoped — update_capsule replaces one named section rather than rewriting the file. A doctor tool validates that every link resolves and every project is reachable, so the memory fails loudly instead of rotting. Plain Markdown, Obsidian-compatible, no database. npx @sunsato/vulcanus
Is the Vulcanus MCP server free?
Yes, most likely. Open source and no paid account or API key is mentioned in the listing. Check the provider for current pricing.
Does Vulcanus run locally or remotely?
Local. Runs on your machine (stdio). You install it with npx, uvx, Docker or from source.
How do I add Vulcanus to Claude Code?
Run: claude mcp add vulcanus -- npx -y @sunsato/vulcanus
