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