Perplexity

Search vaults via Claude Desktop

The `search_vault_content` tool lets your agent dig through your entire digital vault hierarchy to find specific files. Tell Claude to find a specific client tax return. It handles the querying immediately. It pairs perfectly with `get_document_metadata` to pull file specifics before you even open them. If you need to verify API access first, `verify_api_connection` confirms your authentication token is valid.

Traverse folder hierarchies

The `list_vault_folders` tool maps out the directory structure of any accessible vault. You do not have to click through endless nested folders in a web UI anymore. Once Claude finds the right directory, it calls `list_folder_documents` to show you exactly what lives inside. Need metadata on the folder itself? It hits `get_folder_details` and reports back.

Audit member roles

The `list_vault_members` tool pulls the roster of everyone who has access to a specific vault. Your agent can quickly audit who sees what without leaving the chat window. It uses `get_member_details` to check individual profiles and `list_system_roles` to verify their exact permissions. You can also run `get_my_identity` to confirm your own active profile before making changes.

Common questions about FutureVault MCP in Claude Desktop

Open your `claude_desktop_config.json` file from the settings menu. Add the FutureVault server command to the `mcpServers` block and restart the app.

Yes. The agent uses the `search_vault_content` tool to locate files based on your text prompts. It returns the matching documents and their exact folder locations.

You can connect it directly in your browser. Go to Settings, open Integrations, and paste the remote MCP URL as a custom connector.

Your authentication token might be expired. Ask Claude to run `verify_api_connection` to check if the connection is active. If it fails, you need to re-authenticate the MCP Server.

This integration reads document metadata and vault hierarchy details directly from the API. The server operates ephemerally, meaning your member profiles and folder contents pass through the memory space only during active requests and are never stored on disk.
