MCP tools · 8 exposed · ~787 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
append_decision ~138

Append a confirmed decision to a project's Decisions note, in the vault's Decision/Details format. Only record what the operator has actually confirmed. Writes to disk: it adds to the end of the note and never edits what is already there, so calling it twice records the decision twice. Returns the note path and the heading written; errors when the project or its Decisions note is missing.

NameTypeReqDescription
decisionstringyesThe decision itself, one or two sentences
detailsstringOptional supporting details
projectstringyesProject name, id, or trigger word
titlestringyesShort heading for the decision

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

append_rule ~155

Add a durable rule to a project's Rules note. Rules are standing constraints the operator has confirmed — how to work on this project, what never to assume — not observations about one conversation. Use `append_decision` instead for a choice that was made, and `update_capsule` when the summary itself is now wrong. Writes to disk: it appends and never edits existing rules, so calling it twice records the rule twice. Errors when the project or its Rules note is missing.

NameTypeReqDescription
namestringyesShort name for the rule, e.g. "Naming"
projectstringyesProject name, id, or trigger word
rulestringyesThe rule itself, in one or two sentences

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

doctor ~92

Run the full structural validation and return every finding: unresolved links, missing frontmatter, projects unreachable from the Recall Map, hubs that do not link what they own. Read-only — it reports and never repairs; repairing is `vulcanus doctor --repair` in a terminal. A finding is an error (structure the manifest requires is missing) or a warning (something added by hand that the manifest does not describe).

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_projects ~48

The routing table: every project with its status, summary, trigger words, and capsule path. Read-only, and the cheapest way to see what exists before calling `recall` or `search`.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

recall ~78

The entry point before working on any project: returns its Capsule (the compressed must-remember summary) plus the read-next list for deeper context. Query by project name, id, or a trigger word. Read-only; when nothing matches, the error lists the projects that exist.

NameTypeReqDescription
projectstringyesProject name, id, or trigger word

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search ~72

Layer-aware text search across the vault. Capsule and Recall Map hits rank first so the cheapest sufficient note surfaces on top. Read-only; prefer `recall` when you already know which project you need.

NameTypeReqDescription
limitintegerMax hits, default 20
querystringyesText to look for

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

update_capsule ~146

Replace one section of a project's Capsule — the compressed summary every recall reads first. Use it after the operator confirms something that makes the summary wrong or incomplete; never to record a guess. `Read Next` is generated and cannot be written here. Writes to disk and overwrites that section's previous contents, which are recoverable only from Git; every other section and the rest of the file are left untouched. Errors when the project or its Capsule is missing.

NameTypeReqDescription
bodystringyesThe section's new Markdown body, without the heading itself
projectstringyesProject name, id, or trigger word
sectionstringyesWhich capsule section to replace

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

vault_status ~58

One-shot health summary: projects, note counts, doctor result, stale capsules, git state. Read-only — it inspects the working tree and reports, and writes nothing. Use `doctor` when you need every validation finding rather than the summary.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

Common questions

What is the Vulcanus MCP server?

Vulcanus is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.sunsatosolutions/vulcanus. A validated Markdown memory vault your coding agent can recall, project by project. This page covers its npm package (@sunsato/vulcanus).

Is the Vulcanus MCP server safe to use?

Vulcanus scores 94 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the Vulcanus MCP server expose?

Vulcanus exposes 8 tools: recall, search, list_projects, append_decision, update_capsule, and 3 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 787 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the Vulcanus MCP server still maintained?

Vulcanus is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the Vulcanus MCP server under?

Vulcanus declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
