What is the Filekiwi MCP server?

Connect Filekiwi to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Upload files to file.kiwi and get shareable links instantly. The filekiwi mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for simple and instant file sharing. Input: file path → Output: download link in seconds even for large files

  • upload_to_kiwi tool: Uploads files to file.kiwi and returns a shareable URL
  • E2E encrypted upload via file.kiwi API
  • No browser required — pure Node.js
  • No file size limit
  • Download link available immediately (downloads proceed even while upload is still in progress)
  • Free download period with automatic file deletion — details

Installation

The server ships on npm as @file-kiwi/filekiwi-mcp-server, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

Where it fits

Plenty of browser automation servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. It is maintained by file-kiwi; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
