# Getting Started with Bindly

## 1. Create an Account

Visit [bind.ly](https://bind.ly) and sign up with email or Google.

When you register, Bindly automatically creates a **personal Space** for you — a private workspace where only you (and your LLM) can access.

## 2. Create Your First Binding

A **Binding** is a knowledge container. Think of it as a document that keeps its entire history.

### Via Web
1. Log in at bind.ly
2. Click your personal Space
3. Click "+ New Binding"
4. Fill in: title, summary, content (markdown supported)
5. Click "Create"

### Via MCP (from Claude or other LLM)
Tell your LLM: "Save this to Bindly" — it will use `mcp_create_binding` to store the knowledge.

## 3. Connect Your LLM

See the [MCP Connection Guide](/help/mcp) for setup instructions.

Once connected, your LLM can:
- Search your knowledge: "Find what I saved about Kubernetes"
- Save new knowledge: "Save this conversation to Bindly"
- Update existing content: "Update my notes on deployment"

## 4. Organize with Sets

**Sets** are curated collections of specific Binding Versions — like playlists for knowledge.

Use them to group related knowledge for specific contexts or projects.

## 5. Explore Official Spaces

Check out the official Bindly Spaces for examples and community content:

- **[@bindly](https://bind.ly/@bindly)** — Official documentation, guides, and concept explainers
- **[@bindly-feedback](https://bind.ly/@bindly-feedback)** — Community feedback, feature requests, and bug reports
