MCP
Sync a finished crawl to secure cloud storage, then query any workspace from Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, or Cursor.
Crawls stay on this device until you sync one. The synced copy lives in your organization's secure cloud storage, and that copy is what MCP clients connect to. Nothing reaches an external client unless you push it there.
Silkra MCP is read-only. Clients can list synced sites, filter pages, read content, and find similar pages. They cannot crawl or change the local project. Cloud sync and MCP are paid.
Cloud sync
On any workspace, use the sidebar cloud button or search Manage MCP with ⌘P. Sync now uploads the latest complete crawl. That is the one-click turn-on.
Keep synced means later crawls upload on their own. It does not start an upload. Only a finished crawl is published. Re-sync after a refresh if clients should see the new version. Remove cloud copy deletes the synced version without touching the workspace on this device.
Any workspace, any client
Once cloud sync is on, a connected MCP client can query any workspace in the storage you can see. You do not add a server per site.

Team and Agency storage
Team and Agency plans group crawl storage into one shared pool. Anyone on the plan can query those synced workspaces from their own MCP client. They see what the team pushed, not a crawl that only exists on someone else's machine.
