Connect your agent

A compatible AI client can connect to FlashDrive through MCP (Model Context Protocol). It needs remote Streamable HTTP MCP and OAuth sign-in support. FlashDrive does not provide an installable agent plugin.

Use the setup prompt

  1. Open the Console and copy the agent setup prompt on Home. This prompt works with compatible clients.
  2. Paste it into your AI client and let it read the hosted instructions. You can also use the prompt below.
  3. Follow the connection steps for your client. Complete sign-in yourself when asked.
  4. In the browser, choose permissions, review and confirm the selection, then choose Allow.
  5. Return to the client and ask it to list its available drives.
Read https://md.flashdrive.space/prompt.md and follow it to connect to FlashDrive.

For the shared prompt or exact server URL, open MCP connections. Keep the full URL, including any query restrictions. Current instructions are at the agent setup instructions.

Add Claude Code manually

If you are adding the connection yourself, use Claude Code’s remote HTTP MCP command:

claude mcp add --scope user --transport http flashdrive 'https://mcp.flashdrive.space/mcp'

If the Console supplied a restricted server URL, replace the URL argument with that entire value, including its query. Keep it as one safely quoted argument. Use your chosen client scope when it differs from user scope.

Open /mcp in your Claude Code session, select the FlashDrive connection, and start authentication yourself. Adding configuration does not complete authorization. The agent cannot approve browser access for you.

Verify access and load guidance

Ask the agent to use list_drives, then read or search a familiar file. Check the returned source references. Available actions depend on the permissions you approved and your workspace role.

After the authenticated read succeeds, use get_skill to load the core guide and relevant references. Read every page and check the version and freshness. The FlashDrive access skill also supports local installation, and the FlashDrive workflow reference covers Markdown and CSV workflows. Reading public guidance alone does not prove account access.

Set up local-file work

Install the FlashDrive CLI as the standard setup for mounting drives and working with local files. The package is flashdrive-cli and the command is flashdrive. MCP file tools work independently when a local installation or mount is unavailable. For Python applications, use the separate Python SDK setup.

If connection or access fails, see troubleshooting.
