Description
We’re opening the private beta for AgentDrive, a persistent file/workspace layer for AI agents.AgentDrive gives agents:- Versioned artifacts and folders - Hosted MCP access for coding agents - Direct upload sessions for larger files - Share links and controlled public publishing - Workspace-scoped authorization and auditability - Many supported file formats such as MD, HTML, JSON, images, videos, and even spreadsheetsThe MCP surface is intentionally narrow and reviewed rather than exposing the entire storage API.It’s a private beta, so some features are deliberately out of scope for now.See more details: https://tokencanopy.com/products/agentdriveTry the beta: https://app.tokencanopy.com/drive/For MCP clients: claude mcp add --transport http --scope user agentdrive https://drive.mcp.tokencanopy.com/mcp claude mcp login agentdrive codex mcp add agentdrive --url https://drive.mcp.tokencanopy.com/mcp codex mcp login agentdrive A public API/SDK integration experience is on the roadmap so that you can use AgentDrive in your product, but it is not available as a beta user interface today.We’d especially appreciate feedback on:1. Was connecting and using AgentDrive through MCP clear? 2. Which tools or storage primitives are missing? 3. What would be the first workflow you ask your agents do with AgentDrive?Open source repo is also on the roadmap so that you can host it on your own infrastructure!

Could you build this?
Partial Exposing an MCP server and file UI is simple, but a production-grade multi-tenant versioned file system with fine-grained access control requires robust distributed storage engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires an S3-compatible backend paired with metadata storage (like PostgreSQL) tracking immutable snapshots and git-like version DAGs. It also requires an MCP protocol server implementing authentication, rate limiting, and workspace isolation, along with pre-signed direct upload pipelines for large files.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a data infrastructure tool for Media & entertainment yet.
