The Qontext API gives your applications HTTP access to the files and folders in a workspace’s context repository. Read existing context, search for relevant information, and create or update content from your own systems.

​
Base URL

Authenticate with a workspace API key. The key selects the workspace, so requests do not include a workspace ID.

API or MCP?

Use the API when your application controls the requests and handles their responses. To give an AI agent tools for working with your context repository, connect it through MCP. The public API documented here covers files, folders, and search. The endpoint reference lists the supported operations and their exact request and response shapes.
