Use Foldr with Continue (MCP)
Continue is the open-source AI code assistant extension for VS Code and JetBrains, used by enterprise teams that want to bring their own models. Continue added MCP support in v0.9, letting every Chat, Edit, and Agent mode reach external tools. With Foldr connected, Continue can ship generated docs and artifacts to a URL without shell-outs.
Installation
Add the Foldr MCP server to Continue with the snippet below. Replace fs_live_... with an API key from foldr.space/developers.

Continue + Foldr FAQ
How do I install the Foldr MCP server in Continue?
Open Continue'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 Continue if it doesn't hot-reload.
Which Foldr plan do I need to use the MCP integration with Continue?
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 Continue says the Foldr tool isn't available — what's wrong?
The two most common issues: (1) Continue 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 Continue upload files directly to Foldr, or just generate URLs?
Continue 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 Continue can read from disk can be uploaded.
Is the Foldr MCP integration with Continue production-ready?
Foldr's MCP server is stable and used in production. Continue'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.
