## Mount host files and folders (Volumes)
204+
205+
Some MCP servers need access to files on your machine. You can mount host paths
206+
directly in the UI.
207+
208+
1. In the server **Install / Configure** dialog, scroll to **Storage volumes**.
209+
2. Use the **first row** to create your mount:
210+
- **Host path** — choose a file or folder on your computer.
211+
- **Container path** — where it should appear inside the server (for example,
212+
`/data`).
213+
- (Optional) uncheck **Read-only** to allow the server to write. By default,
214+
mounts are read-only.
215+
3. If you need additional mounts, click **Add a volume** and repeat.
216+
4. Click **Install server** to start the server with your volume(s).
217+
218+
This applies to both registry-installed servers and custom servers (Docker image
219+
or source package).
