MCP guide
MCP Memory Server for Files and Durable Context
A plain-language guide to using a remote MCP server as durable file and memory storage for compatible AI clients.
An everyday example
A standards-based connection without handing over the archive
A volunteer treasurer connects a compatible MCP client, approves read and search access, and asks it to find last year’s approved budget notes. The archive remains in DiskDrive even if the treasurer later changes AI tools.
- 1
Add the remote server. Use the Streamable HTTP endpoint at https://mcp.diskdrive.ai/mcp.
- 2
Authorize in the browser. Complete the OAuth 2.1 browser flow and approve only the requested scopes.
- 3
Verify the connection. Run a simple list or search request before approving write access.
Plain answers
What to know before connecting an AI
What is an MCP memory server?
MCP is a standard way for an AI client to discover and use tools. DiskDrive exposes authorized file, search, and Memory tools through a remote MCP endpoint.
Should I paste an API key into my AI chat?
No. The AI opens DiskDrive’s browser authorization flow. You sign in there and approve scopes without pasting a token into the conversation.
