Your AI backs up and finds your files in a Swiss cloud

Helvedrive speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard Claude, ChatGPT and agents use to reach tools. Paste one address, give consent once, and your assistant reads, searches, organises and backs up your documents, encrypted and hosted in Switzerland.

What the assistant can do

list_workspaces

List your spaces (personal, organisations) and their storage use.

list_folder

Browse a folder, “My files” by default.

search_files

Find a file by name, anywhere.

read_file

Read a text, an image or a PDF (5 MB at most).

list_versions

See the successive versions of a file.

save_file

Save a document at a given path; an existing file gets a new version, nothing is overwritten.

create_folder

Create a folder and any missing parents.

move_item

Move or rename a file or folder.

trash_item

Move to the trash, recoverable for 30 days. Never permanent deletion.

create_share_link

Create a download link with expiry, limit and optional password.

Example requests

• “Save these meeting notes to Helvedrive, folder Clients/Smith/2026.”

Security and control

• Explicit consent on Helvedrive, showing the assistant's domain; read only when the assistant asks for nothing more.
• One-hour access tokens, renewed by rotation; every connection appears in “My account” and can be cut in one click.
• No access to end-to-end encrypted vaults, permanent deletion or account settings.
• Data hosted in Switzerland (Infomaniak), encrypted at rest, versions kept, separate backups.
• Every save creates a version: an AI mistake is undone by restoring the previous one.
