Folderr MCP server

The Folderr MCP Server provides a way to interact with Folderr's API through the Model Context Protocol, allowing you to seamlessly manage and communicate with Folderr Assistants within your AI applications.

Installation

Add the Folderr MCP Server to your MCP settings with the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "folderr": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@folderr/folderr-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Authentication

Before using the server, you must authenticate using one of two methods:

Email/Password Login

{
  "name": "login",
  "arguments": {
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "password": "your-password"
  }
}

API Token Authentication

{
  "name": "set_api_token",
  "arguments": {
    "token": "your-api-token"
  }
}

API tokens can be generated from the Folderr developers section. This method is recommended for automated or long-running processes.

Using Assistants

Once authenticated, you can interact with Folderr Assistants using these tools:

Listing Available Assistants

To retrieve all assistants available to your account:

{
  "name": "list_assistants",
  "arguments": {}
}

Asking Questions to Assistants

To send a question to a specific assistant:

{
  "name": "ask_assistant",
  "arguments": {
    "assistant_id": "assistant-id",
    "question": "Your question here"
  }
}

Configuration Details

The server automatically stores its configuration in a config.json file, which includes:

• Base URL for the Folderr API
• Your authentication token (from login or API key)

Troubleshooting

If you encounter errors, here are some common messages and their meanings:

• "Not logged in": You need to authenticate first
• "Login failed": The credentials provided are invalid
• "Failed to list assistants": There was an error retrieving your assistant list
• "Failed to ask assistant": The question couldn't be sent to the assistant

The authentication token is automatically saved and used for all subsequent requests to the Folderr API.

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "folderr" '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@folderr/folderr-mcp-server"]}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "folderr": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@folderr/folderr-mcp-server"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "folderr": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@folderr/folderr-mcp-server"
            ]
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
