Connects to Folderr's API to interact with AI assistants and execute workflows. Lets you list, query, and manage your Folderr assistants programmatically.
Folderr is an official MCP server published by folderr-tech that provides AI assistants with tools and capabilities via the Model Context Protocol. Connect with Folderr to manage and interact with Folderr Assistants via API for seamless task automation and communicati It is categorized under ai ml. This server exposes 7 tools that AI clients can invoke during conversations and coding sessions.
You can install Folderr in your AI client of choice. Use the install panel on this page to get one-click setup for Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients. This server runs locally on your machine via the stdio transport.

Add new capabilities to Claude beyond text generation
Example
Access external data sources, execute code, interact with tools and services
Transform Claude from chatbot to action-taking agent
Provide Claude with access to relevant context and data
Example
Load project documentation, access knowledge bases, query databases
Get more accurate, context-aware responses
Automate multi-step workflows combining AI and external tools
Example
Research → Summarize → Create document → Send notification
Complete complex tasks end-to-end without manual steps

Strong directory entry: Folderr surfaces stars and publisher context so we could sanity-check maintenance before adopting.
Folderr has been reliable for tool-calling workflows; the MCP profile page is a good permalink for internal docs.
We evaluated Folderr against two servers with overlapping tools; this profile had the clearer scope statement.
According to our notes, Folderr benefits from clear Model Context Protocol framing — fewer ambiguous “AI plugin” claims.
Strong directory entry: Folderr surfaces stars and publisher context so we could sanity-check maintenance before adopting.
Folderr is a well-scoped MCP server in the explainx.ai directory — install snippets and categories matched our Claude Code setup.
I recommend Folderr for teams standardizing on MCP; the explainx.ai page compares cleanly with sibling servers.
Useful MCP listing: Folderr is the kind of server we cite when onboarding engineers to host + tool permissions.
We wired Folderr into a staging workspace; the listing’s GitHub and npm pointers saved time versus hunting across READMEs.
Folderr reduced integration guesswork — categories and install configs on the listing matched the upstream repo.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools to interact with Folderr's API, specifically for managing and communicating with Folderr Assistants.
Add to your MCP Settings
{
"mcpServers": {
"folderr": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@folderr/folderr-mcp-server"]
}
}
}
The server provides the following tools:
Two methods of authentication are supported:
Login with Email/Password
{
"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.
List Assistants
{
"name": "list_assistants",
"arguments": {}
}
Returns a list of all available assistants for the authenticated user.
Ask Assistant
{
"name": "ask_assistant",
"arguments": {
"assistant_id": "assistant-id",
"question": "Your question here"
}
}
Send a question to a specific assistant and receive their response.
The server stores its configuration in a config.json file, which includes:
The server provides detailed error messages for common scenarios:
To build the server:
npm install
npm run build
Add the following to your MCP settings configuration:

💡 Pro Tips
Architecture
Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI hosts (Claude, Cursor) communicate with external tools and data sources through server implementations.
Protocols
Compatibility
✓ Use when
Use when you need Claude to access external data, execute actions, or integrate with tools. Best for extending AI capabilities beyond conversation.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when native integrations exist (use official APIs directly), for real-time critical systems, or when security/compliance requires zero external dependencies.
