kola

Start Kola.app on macOS if its local MCP server isn't already responding on 127.0.0.1:47900.

Use RARELY. A read-only network-recall agent. Stays silent by default and only surfaces a name when there is overwhelming, multi-signal evidence that a specific person in the user's Kola network is the right one to talk to about whatever the user just said. Disturbing the user with a weak match is worse than staying quiet. Consider this agent only when the user has stated a concrete, specific topic (a named technology, named company, named role, named decision) — never on small talk, vague musings, status questions, or coding tasks. The default action of this agent is to produce no output.

Manage Kola lists — create a new list, rename one, delete one, add or remove people, and show what's on a list. The user is multilingual; trigger on Russian as readily as English. Use when the user says "create a list called X" / "создай список X", "add Y to my Z list" / "добавь Y в список Z", "remove Y from Z" / "убери Y из Z", "rename Z to W" / "переименуй Z в W", "show my Investors list" / "покажи список инвесторов", "what lists do I have" / "какие у меня списки", or "list everyone in [list]" / "покажи всех из [списка]".

Brief the user on a person before a meeting — pulls everything Kola knows about them and renders a one-page prep memo. The user is multilingual; trigger on Russian as readily as English. Use when the user says "I have a call with X tomorrow" / "у меня завтра созвон с X", "prep me for the meeting with Y" / "подготовь меня к встрече с Y", "what do I know about Z" / "что я знаю о Z", "remind me who X is" / "напомни, кто такой X", or "background on [person]" / "расскажи про [человека]".

Manage Kola's per-install custom-field schema — the user-defined extension columns on every person. Add a new field (text / number / boolean / datetime / file), rename or describe an existing one, re-order, or delete one. The user is multilingual; trigger on Russian as readily as English. Use when the user says "add a custom field for X" / "добавь кастомное поле для X", "track Y on every person" / "храни Y у каждого человека", "change the label for Z field" / "переименуй поле Z", "what custom fields do I have" / "какие у меня кастомные поля", or "drop the W field" / "удали поле W".

Customize the Kola plugin for this user. For now it does only two things — allow all of Kola's MCP tools, and choose how often the data-health sweep runs — and asks nothing else. Use when the user clicks "Customize" on the Kola plugin or says "customize Kola", "set up Kola", or "configure the Kola plugin".

Find people in the user's network by who-they-are or what-they-know. Combines Kola's name resolver, structured filters (company / role / location / list / custom field), substring search, and TWO kinds of semantic search — over person PROFILES and over MESSAGE history. The user's network is multilingual; trigger on Russian as readily as English. Use when the user asks "who do I know who…" / "кто из моих контактов…", "find [name]" / "найди [имя]", "find someone at X" / "найди кого-то из X", "anyone in my network in [place]" / "кто у меня есть в [место]", "who's worked on Z" / "кто работал над Z", "who has experience with W" / "у кого есть опыт в W", or "introduce me to [kind of person]" / "познакомь меня с [тип человека]". Includes asks like "find Misha from Portugal in Kola" / "найди мишу из португалии в Kola".
