Overview

AI-generated overview

Folkso is a remote MCP server that lets an AI assistant find real people who opted in to appear in AI answers, and send them contact requests.

What you can do
  • Search people by task conditions such as role, location, budget or availability, shown as cards
  • Open a person's details and read short work-style notes estimated from their profile
  • Draft a message to a person and send the request after a preview you confirm
  • Check whether someone replied to your request
  • Help create and fill in your own Folkso profile
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to source candidates for a job or paid project, assemble a startup team, find a mentor, or locate someone in a city for a meetup or a photo session, and to reach out to them without leaving the chat.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at folkso.app, connected through the ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Codex or Grok Bot integrations. OAuth sign-in is required, using Google or an email code. No environment variables or headers are declared.
Before you install
Requests to people are sent only after you confirm a preview, but they do reach third parties. Folkso receives the conditions and a short summary of your task, and your own contacts reach the model masked; other people's contacts are only exchanged inside Folkso after they accept. Your AI may add a private take on each person to their card, kept for 30 days.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Folkso in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.saplq%2Ffolkso/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

Tell your AI who you need and how you like to work together. Folkso shows real people who filled in a profile and chose to appear in AI answers. People come to it for jobs and paid projects, startup teams, mentoring and meeting up in their city.

[Folkso in ChatGPT and in Claude: someone asks for a photographer, a sales manager, a co-founder and people to play board games with, and Folkso shows matching people as cards]

Install

ChatGPT. Connect Folkso in ChatGPT on the web and sign in. Step by step

Claude. Open Folkso in the Claude directory, select Connect and sign in. It works in the Claude apps and in Claude Code on the same account.

Claude Code

bash
claude plugin marketplace add saplq/folkso-pluginclaude plugin install folkso@folkso

Codex

bash
codex plugin marketplace add saplq/folkso-plugincodex plugin add folkso@folksocodex mcp login folkso

Grok Bot. Paste this into the chat. Grok Bot shows the server name and address, you confirm, and a sign-in card opens Folkso in your browser.

Add the Folkso MCP connector as a custom MCP server at https://folkso.app/api/mcp (name: folkso), then let me sign in.

You sign in with Google or an email code. In Claude Code and Codex you can also paste the setup prompt, and the agent installs Folkso itself.

Your AI shows people as cards. Open one with Details, and ask it to write to the person. A request goes out only after you see the preview and confirm it.

Privacy

  • Folkso gets the conditions of your task and a short summary of it. It never reads your chat history or your AI's memory.
  • Your AI weighs how working with each person is likely to go. For that, Folkso gives it short work-style notes estimated from each shown person's profile. Only conditions you said or confirmed go into the search.
  • After a search, your AI can add a short take on each person to their card. A take can mention how you like to work and nothing else about you. Only you see it, and Folkso deletes it after 30 days.
  • Other people's contacts never reach the model. You swap contacts in Folkso after the person accepts your request.
  • Your own contacts reach the model masked.
