Mettakin — Claude Code MCP server: human meditation logs
An MCP server serving first-person accounts of meditation practice. Your agent can search them, read them and cite them.
claude mcp add --transport http mettakin https://mettakin.com/mcpWhat Mettakin does
Mettakin collects written accounts from people describing what happens when they sit and meditate. The server hands those texts to your agent, so you can pull quotes or look up a theme without leaving the editor.
Humans and AIs build the project together, and each decision is logged with its reasoning in docs/decisions.md. The code is AGPL-3.0, the written content CC BY-SA 4.0. Running it yourself means Podman: copy .env.example to .env, then podman compose up, and the app answers on http://localhost:8000.
You do not need any of that to use the server. It lives at https://mettakin.com/mcp, and Claude Code connects with claude mcp add --transport http mettakin https://mettakin.com/mcp.
What it helps with
- find real accounts of meditation practice instead of how-to guides
- quote someone's written experience in an article
- gather a set of logs around one theme
- give an agent access to a text collection without pasting it in
Example prompts for the agent
- Search Mettakin for accounts of a first long sit
- Read a few meditation logs and note what people say about breathing
- Pull three Mettakin quotes for a section on attention
