Common questions about Brandfolder MCP in Claude Desktop

Yes, you can browse and retrieve assets directly. The tools allow you to search specific collections and get delivery URLs without leaving the app.

Use the patch tool to update attributes. You simply tell your agent which asset needs a change and it handles the API call for you.

They operate independently. While the server talks to the API, you can still reference local files in your chat for a complete workflow.

Your credentials never leave your local machine. The connection relies on your unique API key which is stored securely in your config file.

We only touch the asset metadata fields you explicitly request. Your sensitive organizational structure remains private and is never cached on external servers.
