Querying Files with AI Agents

MoatDrop lets you upload files, create secure links, and then query those files through AI agents using the MCP server. Here's how to set it up end to end.

Step 1: Upload a file and create a secure link

Log in to MoatDrop, click + Create Moat Link, and upload your file (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, etc.). Once created, note the moat link — this is the short code in the secure URL (e.g., if the URL is https://moat.link/abc123, the moat link is abc123).

You can find the moat link on the link detail page under Moat Link.

Step 2: Create a share token

Share tokens let you grant someone query-only access to a specific file without sharing your full API key.

1. Go to the link detail page for your file
2. Expand AI Agent Access > Show Setup
3. Under Create Share Token, enter a name (e.g., "For Acme Corp")
4. Optionally set an expiration (hours) and max uses
5. Click Create Token
6. Copy the token (starts with mds_) — it's shown only once

Step 3: Configure the MCP server

Give the share token to whoever needs to query the file. They add this to their AI assistant config:

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "moatdrop": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["moatdrop-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MOATDROP_API_KEY": "mds_your_share_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / VS Code

Add to .cursor/mcp.json or VS Code MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "moatdrop": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["moatdrop-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MOATDROP_API_KEY": "mds_your_share_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add moatdrop -- uvx moatdrop-mcp

Then set the environment variable:

export MOATDROP_API_KEY="mds_your_share_token_here"

Step 4: Query the file

Once connected, ask your AI assistant to query the file using the moat link:

Deep extraction (AI-synthesized answers):

"Use the deep_extraction tool with moat_link abc123 and ask: What are the key findings in this report?"

Smart extraction (raw sections with PII scrubbing):

"Use the smart_extraction tool with moat_link abc123 and ask: Show me the sections covering revenue figures across all quarters."

When to use which tool

Tool	Best for
deep_extraction	Direct answers, summaries, finding specific facts — lets the model do the synthesis
smart_extraction	Pulling exact wording of clauses or sections — returns the original text with PII scrubbing

Share token vs API key

	Share Token (mds_)	API Key (mdp_)
Scope	Query access to one specific file	Full account access
Safe to share	Yes	No
Can manage links	No	Yes
Can view analytics	No	Yes
Expiration	Optional (configurable)	Optional
Usage limits	Optional (configurable)	None

Examples

Once configured, you can ask your AI assistant:

• "Use deep_extraction with hash abc123: What is the executive summary?"
• "Use smart_extraction with hash abc123: Show me the action items section of the meeting notes"
• "Use deep_extraction with hash abc123: What date was the contract signed?"
• "Use smart_extraction with hash abc123: Pull the termination clauses from this contract"
