Use Foldr with Claude iOS (MCP)

Claude iOS is Anthropic's official mobile app for Claude. In 2026 it gained support for "Remote MCP" — HTTP-based MCP servers that don't require a local process, which is the only model that can work on mobile. Foldr's hosted MCP endpoint works in Claude iOS without any companion Mac setup.

Claude iOS + Foldr FAQ

How do I install the Foldr MCP server in Claude iOS?

Open Claude iOS's MCP configuration (Settings → Connectors / Integrations) and paste the config block shown above. Set FOLDR_API_KEY to a key you create at foldr.space/api-keys. Restart Claude iOS if it doesn't hot-reload.

Which Foldr plan do I need to use the MCP integration with Claude iOS?

The Foldr MCP server is available on every paid plan (Pro from $5/mo and Developer tier for API-heavy usage). The free tier can generate temporary 7-day links; for permanent storage, a Pro plan or Foldr Space is required.

I set the key but Claude iOS says the Foldr tool isn't available — what's wrong?

The two most common issues: (1) Claude iOS wasn't restarted after editing the config — most MCP hosts need a restart to pick up new servers. (2) Your API key is missing the `mcp:invoke` scope. Regenerate a key at foldr.space/api-keys with full scope and retry.

Can Claude iOS upload files directly to Foldr, or just generate URLs?

Claude iOS can do both. The MCP server exposes tools for `upload_file` (takes a local path or base64 blob), `shorten_url`, and `create_bio_page`. On mobile, uploads use the device camera roll / share sheet via the remote MCP endpoint.

Is the Foldr MCP integration with Claude iOS production-ready?

Foldr's MCP server is stable and used in production. Claude iOS's MCP support is currently in public beta — suitable for day-to-day use. We pin to stable SDK versions and publish changelog entries for every breaking change.
