Create a folder

create_folder

Creates a folder in a workspace to group sites in the dashboard.

POST /v1/create_folderScopesites:writeMakes changes

A folder only ever holds sites from its own workspace, and a site sits in at most one. Creating a folder does not move anything into it, which is what move_sites_to_folder is for. A workspace holds at most 50 folders, after which this is refused.

The slug is derived from the name with a random three character suffix appended, so it is never exactly the name. Read it back from the response, or set it with update_folder_slug. See Folders.

Request

Call it with a POST to https://api.modulify.ai/v1/create_folder, sending the inputs below as a JSON object. The token needs the sites:write scope.

It makes changes, so send an Idempotency-Key header whenever you might retry it. A retry with the same key gets the first answer back instead of running again.

curl -X POST https://api.modulify.ai/v1/create_folder \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"workspaceId":"WORKSPACE_ID","folder_name":"FOLDER_NAME"}'

Over MCP, the same method is the create_folder tool.
