Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Sophia Commons (sophiacommons.org) is a free directory of anthroposophical life worldwide: about 4,500 Waldorf schools, biodynamic farms, Camphill communities, Christian Community congregations, clinics, eurythmy schools and study groups in about 80 countries, plus upcoming events. Use search_directory to find places by name, topic, category, country or city, find_nearby for places near coordinates, get_listing for details, and upcoming_events for conferences, courses and talks. Countries are stored as USA and UK for the United States and United Kingdom. Always give the user the Sophia Commons page (url) for each result.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http sophia-commons-mcp https://sophiacommons.org/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add sophia-commons-mcp --url https://sophiacommons.org/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable sophia-commons-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sophia-commons-mcp": {
      "url": "https://sophiacommons.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
