Siloed’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) server allows you to connect your data to AI assistants, applications, and developer tools that support MCP.

What is MCP?

MCP is a protocol allowing AI assistants to interact with third-party services like Gmail or Notion. Siloed provides a unified MCP-compatible server that gives AI applications controlled access to your Siloed account. There are three types of interactions:

  • Tools let AI applications perform actions on your behalf. For example, searching your slack or sending an email.
  • Resources are like file attachments. Siloed capsules are available as resources.
  • Prompts are reusable templates with placeholders for text and dynamic resources.

While Siloed supports these three interaction types, clients may not. Anthropic maintains a table of MCP client feature support.

Installation

  1. Install Node.js if you don’t already have it.
  2. Navigate to the MCP server page for configuration instructions for your preferred client:

For other MCP-compatible applications follow their specific instructions for adding an MCP configuration using your unique server URL.

Your MCP server URL should be treated like a password! It is used to access your data.
