Use Foldr with Dive (MCP)
Dive is an open-source desktop MCP host that works with OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and local Ollama models through one UI. It is aimed at teams who want a provider-neutral front-end for agents. Foldr works in Dive the same way across every model.

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