Use Foldr with Poe (MCP)
Poe is Quora's multi-model chat app (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, DALL·E, and dozens of third-party bots) with strong iOS and Android clients. Poe bots built with the Server Bot API can proxy to MCP servers. Foldr can back a Poe "upload" bot, making shared file URLs available inside Poe conversations.
Installation
Add the Foldr MCP server to Poe with the snippet below. Replace fs_live_... with an API key from foldr.space/developers.
// Poe Server Bot (Python) — proxies to Foldr MCP
from fastapi_poe import PoeBot, Tool
from mcp_client import connect
foldr = connect("https://foldr.space/api/mcp", token="fs_live_...")
class FoldrBot(PoeBot):
async def get_response(self, req):
return await foldr.forward(req)Setup tip: Register the bot at poe.com/create-bot → Server bot. Mobile users then add it from the Poe app.

Poe + Foldr FAQ
How do I install the Foldr MCP server in Poe?
Open Poe's MCP configuration (the Integrations panel) and paste the config block shown above. Set FOLDR_API_KEY to a key you create at foldr.space/api-keys. Restart Poe if it doesn't hot-reload.
Which Foldr plan do I need to use the MCP integration with Poe?
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 Poe says the Foldr tool isn't available — what's wrong?
The two most common issues: (1) Poe 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 Poe upload files directly to Foldr, or just generate URLs?
Poe 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 Poe production-ready?
Foldr's MCP server is stable and used in production. Poe's MCP support is currently community-maintained — check the upstream repo for current status. We pin to stable SDK versions and publish changelog entries for every breaking change.
