Getting Started
Set up Bindly in three steps. Give your AI a persistent knowledge layer that works across every conversation.
Step 1
Create Your Account
Sign up at bind.ly/app with your email or Google account. A personal Space is created automatically — a private workspace for you and your LLM.
Step 2
Connect Your LLM via MCP
Add Bindly to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client):
{
"mcpServers": {
"bindly": {
"url": "https://mcp.bind.ly/mcp"
}
}
}
On first use, you will be prompted to authenticate via OAuth. See the full MCP Connection Guide for details.
Step 3
Save Your First Knowledge
Tell your AI something like:
- "Save this to Bindly" — creates a new Binding with the conversation content
- "Search Bindly for Kubernetes" — finds previously saved knowledge
- "What did I save about deployment?" — retrieves matching Bindings
Key Concepts
Bindly organizes knowledge into a few core concepts:
- Binding — A knowledge container (article, note, conversation extract). Each update creates a new immutable Version.
- Version — An immutable snapshot of a Binding's content. Nothing is ever lost.
- Space — A workspace that owns Bindings and Sets. Types: personal (private), team (private/public toggle), open (community, permanently public).
- Set — A curated collection of specific Versions, like a playlist for knowledge. Use it to load focused context within a token budget.
What Your LLM Can Do
Once connected, your LLM has access to 29 MCP tools for:
- Saving —
mcp_create_bindingstores content with summaries, key points, and entities - Searching —
mcp_searchfinds knowledge by semantic or keyword search - Retrieving —
mcp_get_bindingwith tiered content delivery (Tier 1/1.5/2) for token-efficient access - Organizing —
mcp_create_setandmcp_get_set_contextfor context assembly within a token budget - Sharing —
mcp_create_sharegenerates temporary share links - Commenting —
mcp_add_commentadds notes to Bindings or Versions
See the full MCP Tools Reference for details on all 29 tools.
