Curate-Ipsum

Curate-Ipsum runs locally from a Python package published to PyPI: curate-ipsum version 2.5.1. It speaks MCP over stdio, so the client starts it as a program and talks to it through standard input and output. It needs Python; clients usually start it with uvx (from uv) or after pip install — the usual command is uvx curate-ipsum. It reads these environment variables: CURATE_IPSUM_GRAPH_BACKEND, MUTATION_TOOL_DATA_DIR, MUTATION_TOOL_LOG_LEVEL, CHROMA_HOST and EMBEDDING_MODEL; set them in the client's configuration for this server.

Curate-Ipsum runs locally from an MCP Bundle: a single downloadable archive holding a local server and a manifest that describes it: https://github.com/egoughnour/curate-ipsum/releases/download/v2.5.1/curate-ipsum.mcpb version 2.5.1. It speaks MCP over stdio, so the client starts it as a program and talks to it through standard input and output. It needs a client that installs MCP Bundles; the file is opened in, or added to, that client. It reads these environment variables: CURATE_IPSUM_GRAPH_BACKEND and MUTATION_TOOL_DATA_DIR; set them in the client's configuration for this server.

In the mcpServers JSON format that many desktop and editor MCP clients read, the entry looks like this (placeholders in angle brackets):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "curate-ipsum": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "curate-ipsum"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CURATE_IPSUM_GRAPH_BACKEND": "<value>",
        "MUTATION_TOOL_DATA_DIR": "<value>",
        "MUTATION_TOOL_LOG_LEVEL": "<value>",
        "CHROMA_HOST": "<value>",
        "EMBEDDING_MODEL": "<value>"
      }
    }
  }
}
