solucortex-mcp
OfficialThis server gives AI agents living technical memory for SoluCortex projects: they can recall and record project knowledge before and during work.
solucortex_recall — Build startup context for a task by retrieving the most relevant approved memories (decisions, conventions, risks, architecture, etc.) ranked by semantic similarity and importance.
solucortex_search — Run ad-hoc semantic searches over project memories to answer specific mid-task questions.
solucortex_remember — Store new memories (as an authorized agent, marked approved) for technical decisions, risks, conventions, learnings, and more at task close.
solucortex_list_memories — List memories without semantic search for quick inspection, auditing, or confirming a memory was saved.
Supports both local stdio (via env vars) and remote HTTP/Streamable HTTP (via per-request Authorization headers) deployment, plus Docker and hosted MCP endpoint options.

SoluCortex MCP
Official Model Context Protocol server for SoluCortex — living technical memory for AI agents.
Connect any MCP-compatible agent (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Cline, …) to your SoluCortex project so it can recall the decisions, conventions, risks and architecture that matter before it works, and remember what it learns when it's done.

Requirements
A SoluCortex account and a project API key (prefix
scx_) — get it from your SoluCortex dashboard.One of:
uv(recommended), Python ≥ 3.10, or Docker.
Configuration
stdio mode (default, local)
The server is configured entirely through environment variables:
Variable | Required | Description |
| ✅ | Project API key ( |
| optional | Default project UUID; if omitted, the backend infers it from the API key |
| optional | API base URL. Default |
HTTP mode (remote, multi-tenant)
Run with MCP_TRANSPORT=http (or --http) to serve Streamable HTTP on $PORT
(default 8080) — the mode behind https://mcp.solucortex.ai. Credentials travel with
each request and the environment is ignored:
Header | Required | Description |
| ✅ | The caller's project API key (401 without it) |
| optional | Default project UUID; if omitted, the backend infers it from the API key |
GET /health (and /healthz locally; Cloud Run's frontend intercepts /healthz) responds without auth. The MCP endpoint is
/mcp, runs stateless, and shares nothing between requests/tenants.
Never commit your API key. Keep it in your MCP client config's env block or a local .env
(see .env.example).
Install
Remote (recommended — nothing to install)
The hosted server at https://mcp.solucortex.ai/mcp speaks Streamable HTTP; your key
travels with each request:
claude mcp add --transport http solucortex https://mcp.solucortex.ai/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer scx_xxx" \
--header "X-Solucortex-Project: your-project-uuid"Or in any client with remote MCP support:
{
"mcpServers": {
"solucortex": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.solucortex.ai/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer scx_xxx",
"X-Solucortex-Project": "your-project-uuid"
}
}
}
}Claude Code (local, stdio)
claude mcp add solucortex \
-e SOLUCORTEX_API_KEY=scx_xxx \
-e SOLUCORTEX_PROJECT_ID=your-project-uuid \
-- uvx solucortex-mcpClaude Desktop / Cursor / Cline (JSON config)
Add to the client's MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor mcp.json, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"solucortex": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["solucortex-mcp"],

git clone https://github.com/soluai-spa/solucortex-mcp
cd solucortex-mcp
cp .env.example .env # fill in your key
./run.sh # loads .env, then runs via uv
# or, with SOLUCORTEX_* already exported: uv run solucortex-mcpDocker
Prebuilt image on GHCR:
docker run --rm -i \

docker build -t solucortex-mcp .
docker run --rm -i \
-e SOLUCORTEX_API_KEY=scx_xxx \
-e SOLUCORTEX_PROJECT_ID=your-project-uuid \
solucortex-mcpThe server speaks MCP over stdio, so clients launch it as a subprocess (-i keeps stdin open).

Available Tools
4 toolssolucortex_list_memoriesARead-onlyInspect
List the project's memories without semantic search (GET /memories).
Useful for quick inspection/audit or to confirm a just-created memory was stored. Does not consume OpenAI quota.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max memories to return. | |
| project_id | No | Project UUID. If omitted, the session default applies, else the backend infers it from the API key. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, and the description adds value beyond that by disclosing 'Does not consume OpenAI quota' and clarifying the GET operation has no semantic processing. No contradiction with annotations, and the extra cost/behavioral detail is genuinely useful for agent decision-making.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three concise sentences, each earning its place: the core action, the best use cases, and a cost-relevant detail. Information is front-loaded and there is no redundant filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read-only list tool with two optional parameters and an existing output schema, the description covers purpose, usage scenarios, and a notable behavioral trait (no quota consumption). Nothing critical is missing for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% and both parameters (limit, project_id) are fully documented in the schema with defaults and constraints. The description does not add parameter-level details, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb and resource: 'List the project's memories' and explicitly notes the non-semantic nature with 'without semantic search (GET /memories)' and gives concrete use cases. This differentiates it from the semantic-search siblings (solucortex_search, solucortex_recall) without ambiguity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It provides explicit use contexts: 'quick inspection/audit' and 'confirm a just-created memory was stored'. It also implies that semantic search is NOT this tool's function, steering agents toward siblings for that need. It does not name the sibling tools explicitly, so there is a small gap, but the context is clear enough.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
solucortex_recallARead-onlyInspect
Build living context for a task (POST /context/build).
Call this at the START of a task, before touching code: returns approved, active memories (decisions, conventions, risks, sensitive modules, architecture) ranked by semantic similarity + importance. Uses OpenAI embeddings (slower, 20 req/min).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | Yes | Describe the current task/module in natural language, e.g. 'implement API key rotation in the secrets module'. Used to semantically retrieve the most relevant memories. | |
| project_id | No | Project UUID. If omitted, the session default applies, else the backend infers it from the API key. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the readOnlyHint and openWorldHint annotations, the description adds valuable behavioral detail: it returns only approved/active memories, ranks by semantic similarity plus importance, and warns about OpenAI embeddings being slower with a 20 req/min limit. This gives the agent important expectations about latency and throttling without needing to discover it at runtime.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact: one sentence states the action and endpoint, one sentence gives usage timing and return value, and one sentence notes performance characteristics. Every sentence adds meaningful information and the most important usage guidance is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the rich input schema, annotations, and presence of an output schema, the description covers the essential operating context: when to call it, what it returns, how results are ranked, and its performance constraints. No critical missing information prevents an agent from selecting and invoking the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema already fully documents both parameters (query and project_id) with clear descriptions, so the schema coverage is 100%. The tool description adds no extra parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema provides, which matches the baseline of 3 for high schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly identifies a specific action ('Build living context for a task') and an endpoint ('POST /context/build'), and explains it returns approved, active memories ranked by similarity and importance. This is not a tautology and conveys the tool's read-oriented purpose, though it does not explicitly compare itself to sibling tools like solucortex_search.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives a clear timing directive: 'Call this at the START of a task, before touching code.' It establishes the intended context of use effectively, but it does not provide explicit exclusion criteria or name alternatives for cases where this tool would not be appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
solucortex_rememberAInspect
Record a memory in SoluCortex (POST /memories).
Call when closing a task or making a relevant technical decision. As an authorized agent (Bearer api_key), the memory is stored with status 'approved' and traced. Never store real secrets: if you find one, record location/type/severity and action taken, with a redacted reference.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Memory type. The backend validates the value. Canonical vocabulary: architecture, decision, risk, convention, bug_history, tech_debt, sensitive_module, learning, external_integration. (Older backends may use technical_decision, historical_bug, current_state, task_closure.) On HTTP 422, retry with the alternate vocabulary. | |
| title | Yes | Short, clear title (~80 chars max). | |
| content | Yes | Full content: what to remember, why it matters, where it applies and what it prevents. NEVER include real secrets (tokens, passwords, .env, credentials). | |
| importance | No | Priority 1-10. Default 5. 6-7 high; 8-9 important decision/risk/convention; 10 critical. | |
| project_id | No | Project UUID. If omitted, the session default applies, else the backend infers it from the API key. |
Output Schema

|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Given annotations already indicate this is a non-read, non-destructive, non-idempotent operation, the description adds valuable behavioral context: the memory is stored with status 'approved' and is traced, and a bearer API key is required. It also discloses the safe-handling policy for secrets, which goes beyond the structured annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is four concise sentences with no filler. The core action is front-loaded, followed by when-to-use, behavioral context, and the security caveat. Every sentence earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is complete for a memory-creation tool: it covers action, trigger conditions, authentication, post-condition (approved/traced), and secret-handling policy. With an output schema present and comprehensive parameter schemas, nothing essential is missing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds meaning by explaining how to handle sensitive content in the `content` parameter: record location/type/severity and action taken with a redacted reference. This is practical guidance beyond the schema's 'NEVER include real secrets' note.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Record a memory in SoluCortex (POST /memories)'. It clearly distinguishes this write operation from its siblings (list, recall, search) by naming the creation endpoint and memory domain.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states when to call the tool: 'Call when closing a task or making a relevant technical decision.' It does not mention exclusions or alternatives, but the sibling tools are clearly different operations, so the primary usage context is sufficient.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
solucortex_searchARead-onlyInspect
Ad-hoc semantic search of memories (POST /search/semantic).
Use for specific questions during a task (e.g. 'how is authentication implemented?'), distinct from recall which builds the full startup context. Uses OpenAI embeddings (20 req/min).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max memories to return. | |
| query | Yes | Question or topic to search across the project's memories. | |
| project_id | No | Project UUID. If omitted, the session default applies, else the backend infers it from the API key. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so the description only needs to add context beyond that. It adds the rate limit ('20 req/min'), the embedding model dependency ('OpenAI embeddings'), and the ad-hoc nature. This is useful behavioral context without contradicting the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three short sentences, each earning its place: the first defines the operation, the second gives usage context and sibling differentiation, the third discloses operational constraints. The most important distinction is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple search operation, full schema coverage, readOnly/openWorld annotations, and the presence of an output schema, the description is complete. It covers purpose, usage context, sibling differentiation, and rate limiting — nothing essential is missing for an agent to call it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all three parameters. The description does not add parameter-specific semantics, but it sets general context (semantic search over memories). This meets the baseline for full schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Ad-hoc semantic search of memories (POST /search/semantic).' It also gives a concrete example ('how is authentication implemented?') and explicitly distinguishes itself from solucortex_recall, so an agent can tell them apart.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It says precisely when to use this tool — 'for specific questions during a task' — and when not to, by contrasting with recall, which 'builds the full startup context.' This gives the agent an explicit selection rule between the two most similar siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: recall builds startup context, search handles ad-hoc queries, remember stores a memory, and list_memories provides plain inspection. The recall/search distinction is explicitly clarified in the descriptions.
All tools share the solucortex_ prefix and use snake_case, which is predictable. There is minor inconsistency because recall, search, and remember are bare verbs while list_memories is verb_noun, but the pattern remains readable and coherent.
Four tools is a well-scoped set for a memory/context server covering retrieval, search, storage, and listing. Each tool earns its place without unnecessary overlap or bloat.
The server covers create, list, and semantic retrieval well, but there is no update or delete memory tool. Agents cannot correct outdated memories or remove incorrect ones, which is a notable lifecycle gap.
