Model Context Protocol server for FTP access
Model Context Protocol server for FTP access
This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server provides tools for interacting with FTP servers. It allows Claude.app to list directories, download and upload files, create directories, and delete files/directories on FTP servers.
Compare MCP servers by category, or browse hosted MCP servers if you prefer an endpoint over a local process.
Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.
