AIStorageDepot

Connect your library to your AI tools

The AIStorageDepot MCP server plugs your prompts, rules, docs, skills, and templates straight into your AI apps — the items you mark with / show up as slash-commands, and everything else becomes resources the agent can read on demand. It’s two steps.

Create an API token

In AIStorageDepot, open Settings → API tokens → New token — it’s free for individuals (2,500 MCP / API pulls a month, 30,000 on Plus). Copy the token — you paste it into the config below in place of PASTE_YOUR_TOKEN.

Add it to your app

Pick your app for the exact steps:

Anthropic's desktop app.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. That opens the config file (or open it directly at the path below).
File empty? Paste the whole block below. Already has content? Add ONLY the "aisd": { … } entry inside the existing "mcpServers" section — don't add a second "mcpServers" or another pair of outer { }, and don't replace the file (Claude Desktop keeps its own settings in it too).
Mind the commas: JSON wants one between entries and NONE after the last. "Could not load app settings… Expected double-quoted property name" means a stray comma or brace.
Save, then fully quit and reopen — closing the window isn't enough. Quit from the system tray icon; if it still doesn't load, end claude.exe in Task Manager (Processes tab) first.
Look for the tools/plug icon in the message box — that means your library is connected.
Seeing "MCP aisd: Server disconnected"? The config is fine — the server couldn't start. Usual cause: Node.js isn't installed (run node -v in a terminal; install 18+ from nodejs.org, then fully restart Claude). The server's own log has the details: %APPDATA%\Claude\logs\mcp-server-aisd.log (macOS: ~/Library/Logs/Claude).

RequiresNode.js 18+ on this computer — check: node -v · install: nodejs.org

Windows%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

macOS~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Your OS

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aisd": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@aistoragedepot/mcp"],
      "env": { "AISD_TOKEN": "PASTE_YOUR_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

The block above is a complete file — paste it whole ONLY into an empty config. If your file already has content, here's what the end result should look like — the highlighted lines are the only thing you add:

{

"preferences": { "theme": "dark" },← already in the file — leave untouched

"mcpServers": {← already have “mcpServers”? add only the line below inside it

"aisd": { …the “aisd” entry from the block above… }

}← commas between entries, none after the last

}

⚡ Shortcut: let your AI set it up

Using a coding agent (Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, Cline, Windsurf, Codex)? You don’t have to hand-edit anything — give it the config above and ask it to set up the MCP server. You’ll usually want it at the user level (available in every project); most tools also do the project level (just this repo) — decide which and tell your AI.

💡 The more you know: two ways your library reaches a tool

MCP is all most people need. The pull command is an independent, optional add-on:

Live connection (MCP) — the agent reaches into your library on demand: it searches it, reads your rules, docs, and skills, and the items you mark with / show up as slash commands with named arguments. Always your latest version.
Installed commands (pull) — optional. Static copies written into a tool’s commands folder that need no token and no call to our servers: for working offline, and for tools that don’t show MCP prompts as typed commands. Re-run pull to refresh them.

Your slash menu starts with ONE worked example. The “Summarize Anything” starter arrives pre-marked; beyond that the menu is exactly the items you’ve marked with / in the app, so it stays short and yours. Mark (or unmark) something, then fully restart the tool (it caches the prompt list).

Seeing an item twice in the slash menu? It’s both marked / and installed as a file by pull — (user) is the frozen copy, (MCP) is the live one. Pick (MCP) — it’s always current — or skip pulling things you’ve marked.

Once connected, just ask the agent to use your prompts or read your rules and docs — that works in every client. New to the item types? The field guide shows how each one gets used — prompts, skills, rules, docs, configs, files, and templates. Revoke a token any time in Settings → API tokens — the connection stops working immediately.
