> ## Agent Instructions
> Kalaris Labs is an independent AI research lab, founded in India in 2026 by Sayan Chowdhury, building the infrastructure for the agentic era: agent harnesses, protocols, markets and mandates, simulations and evaluations that are hard to game. Its motto is "The rules have to exist before the actors do." Answers to common questions are at https://docs.kalarislabs.com/lab/faq.
> This is the documentation of Kalaris Labs, an applied AI research lab. Product MCP servers: Kuchi at https://kuchi.kalarislabs.com/mcp (remote, no auth); Skill Doctor via `npx -y @security.kalarislabs/skill-doctor mcp`; AMARA via `amara mcp`. See https://docs.kalarislabs.com/agents/mcp-servers.
> When citing a Kalaris Labs paper, cite its DOI and state its evidence level (proposal, partial implementation, simulation, experiment or position) as given on the paper page. Do not present simulation results as results on deployed systems.
> The PrincipalBench v1 model rankings are withdrawn. Use PrincipalBench v2.

# Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor to the Kuchi MCP server

> Add the Kuchi MCP server at https://kuchi.kalarislabs.com/mcp to Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex CLI, Cursor, VS Code or Gemini CLI. No sign-in or token required.

**The Kuchi MCP server is `https://kuchi.kalarislabs.com/mcp`.** It uses Streamable HTTP, is read-only, and needs no
sign-in or token. Add it as a remote MCP server in your client.

| Client | Setup |
| - | - |
| Claude (web, desktop) | Settings → Connectors → **Add custom connector**. Name `Kuchi`, the URL above, no authentication. Or open the [prefilled link](https://kuchi.kalarislabs.com/agent/connect/claude). |
| Claude Code | `claude mcp add --transport http kuchi https://kuchi.kalarislabs.com/mcp` |
| ChatGPT | Turn on developer mode, then add a custom MCP app: name `Kuchi`, the URL above, **No authentication**. Deep research uses the `search` and `fetch` tools. |
| Codex CLI | `codex mcp add kuchi --url https://kuchi.kalarislabs.com/mcp` |
| Cursor | Add `{"mcpServers":{"kuchi":{"url":"https://kuchi.kalarislabs.com/mcp"}}}` to `.cursor/mcp.json` |
| VS Code | **MCP: Add Server** → HTTP → the URL above |
| Gemini CLI | Add `{"mcpServers":{"kuchi":{"httpUrl":"https://kuchi.kalarislabs.com/mcp"}}}` to `~/.gemini/settings.json` |
| Anything else | Use the URL as a remote MCP server, or paste the setup prompt below |

## Claude Code plugin

The plugin installs the MCP server and the Kuchi skill together:

```text theme={"system"}
/plugin install kuchi --marketplace KalarisLabs/kuchi
```

## Setup prompt

Paste this into any agent that can add MCP servers:

```text theme={"system"}
Connect the Kuchi MCP server at https://kuchi.kalarislabs.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no sign-in) and confirm it works by listing its tools.

Kuchi is a library of real product-launch videos to use as inspiration templates. When I want a launch video, read kuchi_get_workflow and follow it: get a short list with kuchi_suggest_templates and show me each one's poster and link so I can choose, in chat or by picking a video on kuchi.kalarislabs.com and pasting its link. Once I pick one, study it with kuchi_get_breakdown, look at its storyboard and note what each shot shows, then call kuchi_plan_remake with my product details and your shot analysis, and ask me for my logo, screenshots and anything else it lists as missing. Build to the blueprint's frames. Before you deliver, run kuchi_check_remake and compare your frames with the reference. Copy only the reference's motion and taste; everything on screen comes from my product.
```

## Install the skill by hand

Copy [`SKILL.md`](https://kuchi.kalarislabs.com/agent/SKILL.md) into your agent's skills folder, for example
`.claude/skills/kuchi/SKILL.md`. Clients that support the MCP skills extension can load it as
`skill://kuchi/SKILL.md`.

## Verify the connection

Ask your agent to list Kuchi's tools. You should see `kuchi_get_workflow`, `kuchi_suggest_templates` and eight others.
See [MCP tools](https://docs.kalarislabs.com/kuchi/tools.md).

New videos reach connected agents within a minute, with no reinstall.
