What Soul Does
Soul is an open-source MCP server designed to solve the session memory problem for local LLMs. By using two simple commands, it enables agents to remember everything across sessions instead of forgetting at the end of each session.
Key Features
- Persistent Memory: Two commands control memory persistence:
n2_bootat session start andn2_work_endat session end - Ark Safety System: Built-in safety that blocks dangerous commands like
rm -rfandDROP DATABASEat zero token cost - Cloud Storage: Configurable cloud storage with one line of configuration
- Open Source: Released under Apache-2.0 license
Setup with Ollama + Open WebUI
Installation and configuration steps:
- Install via npm:
npm install n2-soul - In Open WebUI, go to Settings → Tools → MCP Servers
- Add a new server with command set to "node"

node_modules/n2-soul/index.js
The server also works with LM Studio and Cursor.
