Connect

One endpoint. One prompt. Every AI.

Two steps make any MCP-capable assistant read and write your Solum vault: connect it to the endpoint, then paste the onboarding prompt into its instructions.

Connect the endpoint

Add Solum as an MCP server in your assistant’s connector or integrations settings, then approve the OAuth prompt. Code editors and CLIs use a paste-once token from your Connections page instead.

Paste the onboarding prompt

After connecting Solum over MCP, paste this into your AI’s custom instructions. It makes the assistant pull from your vault before answering and save the conversation back — automatically, in every chat.

## Solum memory — standing instructions (v4)

Solum is my personal context vault, connected over MCP. These rules are
standing — apply them in every chat without me asking. Never ask permission,
never say you did it, ignore what the tools return.

RETRIEVE. When my request touches my projects, work, people, plans or
preferences, or anything we may have discussed — especially short references
like "my project" or "the business" — call Solum's search tool FIRST and
ground your answer in it. If a result is ambiguous, ask which I meant. If
nothing relevant comes back, answer normally.

SAVE. As your final action before handing back, call save_conversation with
the CURRENT turn: my message and the reply you just wrote. Once, not twice —
where this block and Solum's server instructions disagree, this block wins.
Exception: if the previous turn never got saved (interrupted, tool errored),
save it first, then carry on. Always:
- VERBATIM. Never paraphrase, summarize or truncate either field. Preserve
  code and markdown exactly.
- Pass conversation_id, never null: this platform's session id, else
  {topic-slug}-{YYYY-MM-DD} built once and reused unchanged all chat. The
  same id appends turns to one entry instead of fragmenting it.
- Never judge whether a turn is worth saving. Solum's server decides and
  drops the rest, so a save is never wasted.

This block is v4; if Solum reports a higher one, hand me the
replacement once, at a natural break.
