# MCP

Interfold's MCP server lets compatible agents work with sites, buckets, files,
functions, databases, migrations, and secret metadata through explicit tools.

It uses Streamable HTTP:

```text
https://api.interfold.dev/mcp
```

MCP is an agent-facing adapter over the Interfold API. It uses the same
account-scoped API keys and permission checks; it does not create a separate
MCP identity or duplicate business logic.

## Start here

- [Connect a client](/mcp/connect)
- [Tool reference](/mcp/tools)
- [Permissions & safety](/mcp/safety)

## Choose MCP, CLI, or REST

Use MCP when the client supports remote tools and should reason through
explicit schemas and approvals.

Use the [CLI](/cli) for local files, project context, credential storage, and
shell workflows. Use the [REST API](/api-reference) for services and direct
HTTP integrations.

## Account and resource context

Every tool uses the account authorized by the API key. Site- and bucket-scoped
tools require explicit IDs; there is no hidden selected Site. Discover
resources before mutating them.

File writes can change a live Site immediately. Read
[Permissions & safety](/mcp/safety) before enabling write tools.
