Python MCP

Files.com MCP allows your AI model, like ChatGPT or Claude, to use Files.com. Files.com is the cloud-native, next-gen MFT, SFTP, and secure file-sharing platform that replaces brittle legacy servers with one always-on, secure fabric. Automate mission-critical file flows - across any cloud, protocol, or partner - while supporting human collaboration and eliminating manual work. Its 40 documented tools cover log, file, history, for.

People connecting cloud infrastructure tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Python MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set FILES_COM_API_KEY before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add files-com-files-mcp -- uvx files-com-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "files-com-files-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "files-com-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package files-com-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry vendor namespace com.files - domain-verified with the official MCP registry

03 · What Python MCP can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can extract a ZIP file to a destination folder, create a ZIP from one or more paths and save it to a destination path, list the contents of a ZIP file, and list history for specific file.

Limitations (from the README)

Large Language Models perform best when their toolset is focused. If you're integrating with Files.com MCP and noticing inconsistent tool usage, your LLM may be overloaded with too many available functions. Most LLM clients allow you to selectively enable or disable tools exposed through MCP. For best results, only include the specific tools your agent needs for its task. This reduces ambiguity and improves the model

06 · Python MCP FAQ

Is Python MCP still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-13. We re-verify nightly.

What can Python MCP do?

How do I install Python MCP?

Run `uvx files-com-mcp`. The README documents one environment variable (FILES_COM_API_KEY) to set first. Set FILES_COM_API_KEY before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Python MCP run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
