Any other MCP client

Any standard MCP client runs Kaleidoscope from the descriptor the engine prints. You do not hand-write the command.

Get the descriptor

cd ~/your-project
kscope init --no-wire
kscope profile import default ~/your-project/.kaleidoscope
kscope profile launch default

--no-wire creates the vault and leaves every editor configuration alone. Drop it to wire Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode as well.

The last command prints this:

{
  "version": 1,
  "transport": "stdio",
  "command": "/absolute/path/to/kscope",
  "args": ["mcp", "--profile", "default"],
  "tools": ["search", "remember"],
  "environment": {}
}

Field	What to do with it
command, args	the server definition in your own configuration
transport	stdio, one long-lived process
tools	the whole model-facing surface; allow exactly these two
environment	empty — pass no vault path, key or token

Wire it in

Put command and args into your client’s server definition. Start the server once and reuse the session, rather than one process per tool call.

Check it

Your client’s tool list should hold exactly search and remember. If kscope profile launch default prints profile does not exist, run the profile import above.

Remove it

Delete the server definition from your own configuration. This route writes nothing else.
