Use Foldr with Cody (MCP)

Cody is Sourcegraph's enterprise AI coding assistant, known for deep repo-wide context over massive monorepos. Cody's Agent mode (OpenCtx + MCP) lets teams add organization-approved tools. Foldr can be allow-listed so developers can share logs and artifacts via a company-controlled upload path.

Installation

Add the Foldr MCP server to Cody with the snippet below. Replace fs_… with an API key from foldr.space/developers/signup. Each upload costs 5¢ - top up account credits or subscribe to Pro tier to bypass per-call charges.

{
  "cody.experimental.mcp": {
    "enable": true,
    "servers": {
      "foldr": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@foldr/mcp-server"],
        "env": { "FOLDR_API_KEY": "fs_live_..." }
      }
    }
  }
}

Setup tip: Add to VS Code settings.json. Requires Cody Pro or Enterprise and the MCP feature flag enabled.

Cody + Foldr FAQ

How do I install the Foldr MCP server in Cody?

Open Cody'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/developers/signup. Restart Cody if it doesn't hot-reload.

How much does it cost to use Foldr from Cody?

Each upload costs 5¢. You can pay by topping up account credits via the `top_up_credits` MCP tool (min $5) - every upload then debits from balance. Or subscribe to Pro tier ($25/mo) and per-call charges are bypassed entirely. Tools that don't write data (list_files, mint_capability, get_usage, etc.) are free.

I set the key but Cody says the Foldr tool isn't available - what's wrong?

Three common causes: (1) Cody wasn't restarted after editing the config - most MCP hosts need a restart to pick up new servers. (2) The API key is wrong or missing - verify the env var name your client reads (e.g. FOLDR_API_KEY) matches the config snippet above. (3) Your client doesn't support the streamable-http transport - most modern clients do, but check Cody's docs for the version that added MCP support.

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

Cody can do both. The MCP server exposes tools for `upload_file` (base64-encoded file content), `bulk_upload` (up to 20 files in one call), `mint_capability` (short-lived shareable links), and `create_short_url`. Any file Cody can read from disk can be uploaded.

Is the Foldr MCP integration with Cody production-ready?

Foldr's MCP server is stable and used in production - streamable-http transport at https://foldr.space/api/mcp with 23 tools. Cody's MCP support is currently experimental - expect rough edges and breaking changes. Every write endpoint accepts an Idempotency-Key so retries are safe.
