212+ ## Mount host files and folders (Volumes) {#volumes}
213+
214+ Some MCP servers need access to files on your machine. You can mount host paths
215+ directly in the UI.
216+
217+ 1 . In the server ** Install / Configure** dialog, scroll to ** Storage volumes** .
218+ 2 . Use the ** first row** to create your mount:
219+ - ** Host path** — choose a file or folder on your computer.
220+ - ** Container path** — where it should appear inside the server (for example,
221+ ` /data ` ).
222+ - By default, mounts are in read-write mode. If you want your volume mount to
223+ be ** Read-only** , select the "Read-only access" option from the drop-down.
224+ 3 . If you need additional mounts, click ** Add a volume** and repeat.
225+ 4 . Click ** Install server** to start the server with your volume(s).
226+
227+ This applies to both registry-installed servers and custom servers (Docker image
228+ or source package).
