Use Foldr with Codeium (MCP)
Codeium is the free AI autocomplete and chat extension shipped inside dozens of IDEs (VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim, Emacs, Vim). Codeium's Forge agent mode uses MCP for external tooling, bringing the same tools to every IDE it supports. Foldr gives Forge a consistent upload-and-share capability regardless of the editor.
Installation
Add the Foldr MCP server to Codeium with the snippet below. Replace fs_live_... with an API key from foldr.space/developers.
{
"mcpServers": {
"foldr": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@foldr/mcp-server"],
"env": { "FOLDR_API_KEY": "fs_live_..." }
}
}
}Setup tip: Open the Codeium panel → Settings → MCP Servers. Requires Codeium Teams/Enterprise for agent features.

Codeium + Foldr FAQ
How do I install the Foldr MCP server in Codeium?
Open Codeium's MCP configuration (the JSON settings file) and paste the config block shown above. Set FOLDR_API_KEY to a key you create at foldr.space/api-keys. Restart Codeium if it doesn't hot-reload.
Which Foldr plan do I need to use the MCP integration with Codeium?
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 Codeium says the Foldr tool isn't available — what's wrong?
The two most common issues: (1) Codeium 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 Codeium upload files directly to Foldr, or just generate URLs?
Codeium can do both. The MCP server exposes tools for `upload_file` (takes a local path or base64 blob), `shorten_url`, and `create_bio_page`. Any file Codeium can read from disk can be uploaded.
Is the Foldr MCP integration with Codeium production-ready?
Foldr's MCP server is stable and used in production. Codeium'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.
