Side-by-side comparison of two Model Context Protocol servers — install paths, tools, quality signals, and directory engagement so you can pick the right one for Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients.
Inspectable memory substrate for Claude Code. Three read-only MCP tools (searchpairs, compactsession, substrateinfo) over a local-first, signal-scored parse of /.claude/projects/. Per-pair scores are numpy columns on disk, not opaque vectors in a service. Zero outbound calls (CI-enforced).
Self-improving learning engine for Claude Code. Extracts signals from every session (corrections, successes, confusion), runs periodic reflections, and evolves behavioral frameworks through evidence tiers (hypothesis → observed → validated). Frameworks that keep working get promoted, bad ones get retired. 9 MCP tools, automatic hooks, phase-adaptive learning. Single dependency, local-only. npx claude-soul init --starter
