Zapier AI Actions + Foldr FAQ
How do I install the Foldr MCP server in Zapier AI Actions?
Open Zapier AI Actions's MCP configuration (Settings → Connectors / Integrations) and paste the config block shown above. Set FOLDR_API_KEY to a key you create at foldr.space/api-keys. Restart Zapier AI Actions if it doesn't hot-reload.
Which Foldr plan do I need to use the MCP integration with Zapier AI Actions?
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 Zapier AI Actions says the Foldr tool isn't available — what's wrong?
The two most common issues: (1) Zapier AI Actions 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 Zapier AI Actions upload files directly to Foldr, or just generate URLs?
Zapier AI Actions 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 Zapier AI Actions can read from disk can be uploaded.
Is the Foldr MCP integration with Zapier AI Actions production-ready?
Foldr's MCP server is stable and used in production. Zapier AI Actions'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.
