Claude Soul Overview

This MCP server extends Claude Code by adding persistent memory across sessions, tracking user corrections to identify behavioral patterns, and evolving behavioral frameworks through periodic reflections. It uses local SQLite storage and optionally Ollama embeddings for semantic search. The system runs fully locally without requiring API keys and integrates via Claude Code's official extension points, making it suitable for developers wanting to add adaptive learning and memory to Claude Code agents or interactive sessions.
