# Frequently Asked Questions

## General

### What is Bindly?
Bindly is a knowledge management platform designed for LLMs. It lets you save, organize, and retrieve knowledge that persists across AI conversations.

### How is Bindly different from a note-taking app?
Bindly is designed for LLM access via MCP protocol. Your AI assistant can save, search, and retrieve knowledge directly — no copy-pasting needed. Every update creates an immutable Version, preserving your complete knowledge history.

### Is Bindly free?
Bindly is currently in beta and free to use.

## Knowledge Management

### What happens when I update a Binding?
A new Version is created. The old Version is preserved. Bindly never modifies existing content — this is the immutability principle.

### Can I see old Versions?
Yes. Use `mcp_list_versions` to see all Versions of a Binding, and `mcp_get_version` to retrieve a specific one.

### What's the difference between a Binding and a Version?
A Binding is the container (like a document). A Version is a specific snapshot of that document's content at a point in time.

## Spaces

### What Space types are available?
- **Personal**: Private, just for you. Created automatically on signup.
- **Team**: Created by users. Can be private or public.
- **Official**: Created by Bindly. Permanently public, verified.

### Can I make my personal Space public?
No. Personal Spaces are always private. Create a team Space and toggle it to public instead.

## MCP / LLM

### Which LLM clients support Bindly?
Any client that supports MCP: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and others. See the [MCP Connection Guide](/help/mcp).

### What's the token budget for?
LLMs have limited context windows. Bindly includes token counts with every response so your LLM can manage its context budget. Use Tiers (1, 1.5, 2) to control how much content you retrieve.

### Can multiple LLMs access the same Space?
Yes. Any authenticated connection to your account can access your Spaces. Team Spaces allow multiple users (and their LLMs) to share knowledge.

## Sharing

### How do I share a Binding publicly?
Two ways:
1. **Permanent**: Put it in a public team or official Space → accessible at `bind.ly/@space/binding`
2. **Temporary**: Use `mcp_create_share` → generates a temporary link at `bind.ly/b/{id}`

### Are temporary share links indexed by search engines?
No. Temporary share links include `noindex` meta tags and are not included in the sitemap.
