Start using Sutram in just a few minutes. Get to know your first project, organize content, add files and links, and invite your team.

Learn how to sign up for Sutram with Google or magic links, choose your session type, and configure your profile preferences.

Projects in Sutram are collaborative spaces where teams can organize and manage content items together.

A deeper look at organizing your project: plan the folder hierarchy, upload files and links, tag, move items in bulk, and choose among folders, Records, File Links, and tags — in the interface and via AI/MCP.

How to use key-value tags on items and folders to label and filter your collection: applying them, limits, filtering by tag, tags vs. Records, and using them at scale via AI/MCP.

The ways to find content in Sutram: tag search (items and folders), full-text search in the Wiki, mention/slug resolution, and Governed Content search — in the interface and via AI/MCP.

Sutram's Markdown Editor lets you create and edit formatted text documents right in the browser. It's a visual (WYSIWYG) editor where you see the final result as you edit.

Sutram provides a commenting system that lets teams collaborate directly on documents, placing comments at specific spots in PDFs, images, Office documents, Markdown files, and CAD/BIM models.

How to add web pages, videos, and audio as project items: link types, supported platforms, automatic metadata, and use via AI/MCP.

How to create, recognize, list, and remove File Links — through the interface (mark source → create link at the destination) and in bulk via AI/MCP, with attention to cascade deletion.

A step-by-step guide to working with structured data in Sutram: define metadata, build record categories, create records, and maintain them — through the interface or via AI/MCP.

A practical guide to building and navigating the project Wiki: how nodes are born from content, how to enrich them with concepts, syntheses, and relations via AI, and how to explore the knowledge graph.

Governance step by step: graduate a category, configure the lifecycle (states, roles, role×state matrix), create governed documents, and trigger transitions — in the interface or via MCP.

How to use the project's built-in chat: send messages, attach files and links, reply in threads, search history, notifications, and moderation — in the interface and via AI/MCP.

Sutram offers different subscription plans to meet the needs of different users, from individuals trying the platform to large enterprises with advanced requirements.

An end-to-end tutorial of an AI-assisted workflow in Sutram: get oriented, find, read, comment, fix, and version content in natural language via MCP — with a sample conversation.

Records are typed entries with validated metadata and an automatic slug — structured data in Sutram instead of loose files. What they are, when to use them, and how the slug is generated.

File Links are symbolic references: they make a single file appear in multiple folders without duplicating it. What they are, when to use them, the rules (source, cascade), and File Link vs. copy.

Sutram's File Versioning System provides a collaborative workflow for managing document revisions in your projects, with check-out/check-in and a complete revision history.

Sutram's Wiki is the project's knowledge layer: concepts, documents, and relations form a navigable graph — the structured memory that powers the team and its AI.

Sutram's formal governance layer: Document Classes with a lifecycle (states, roles, transitions), need-to-know visibility, and an audit trail. When to use it and how it relates to versioning.

Sutram's two levels of access: the four project roles (owner, admin, member, viewer) and what each can do, plus governance's need-to-know visibility.

How to set up and use the Sutram MCP Server to connect AI assistants to your project's content.

How to connect Sutram to Claude and other MCP clients: the OAuth connector (claude.ai and Desktop) and the API-key bridge (Claude Code, Cursor), with network allowlist, key security, and troubleshooting.

The official preset for using Sutram with Claude: a system prompt that makes Claude Sutram-aware by default, plus starter prompts by vertical (health, engineering, legal, academic, blog).

Sutram's REST API provides JSON endpoints for external consumption of project content.

Sutram offers a complete content-viewing solution with a BYOK (bring your own key) architecture, supporting dozens of file formats right in the browser.
