# Files.com MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Files.com MCP lets you manage enterprise file storage and user permissions directly through your AI agent. You can move files, create users, and audit access rights using natural language instead of clicking through a web dashboard. It handles the heavy lifting of directory organization and security management so you can focus on your actual work. ## Overview - **Category:** document-management - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_PsUebiMixNyrIEeMwGzS6KomD350vUWQBxl424Xh/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** file-transfer, secure-storage, audit-logs, cloud-sync, file-metadata, collaboration ## Description Managing enterprise storage usually means jumping between browser tabs, hunting for specific folder permissions, and manually onboarding new team members. This Connector changes that by letting you talk to your Files.com account as if it were a teammate. You can ask your agent to move a batch of invoices, check who has access to a sensitive folder, or set up a new user with the right group memberships in seconds. It takes the friction out of routine file maintenance. Because Vinkius hosts this Connector, you can plug it into your existing AI workflow and start managing your storage without leaving your workspace. It's about getting rid of the "where is that file" and "who can see this" headache by making your storage searchable and controllable through chat. ## Tools ### delete_file Deletes a file or folder.

Here is the current access list: | User | Group | Permission | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | jdoe_admin | Admins | Full Access | | finance_team | Finance | Read/Write | | audit_user | Auditors | Read Only | Would you like me to update any of these permissions? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Create a user for a new intern named 'intern_01' and put them in the 'General' group. ``` **Response:** ``` Done! I have created the user **intern_01** and added them to the **General** group. **Details:** - **Username:** intern_01 - **Group:** General - **Status:** Active Is there anything else you need for this new user? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Move all files from /temp to /archive. ``` **Response:** ``` I'm moving the contents of **/temp** to **/archive** now. **Operation Summary:** - **Files Moved:** 42 - **Folders Moved:** 3 - **Status:** Success The directory **/temp** is now empty. ``` ## Capabilities ### Move files or folders Relocate assets to different directories instantly without manual dragging. ### Create and manage users Provision new accounts and assign them to groups through natural language. ### Audit folder permissions Check who has access to specific folders and manage security rules. ### List directory contents See what is inside any folder and retrieve metadata for specific files. ### Automate workflows Create webhooks and manage automations to connect with your tech stack. ### Clean up storage Delete users, files, or permissions to keep your environment organized. ## Use Cases ### Rapid Employee Offboarding An IT admin needs to remove an employee. They ask the agent to delete_user and delete_permission to secure the account immediately. ### Marketing Asset Migration A manager asks the agent to move_file for all 2023 assets into a Legacy folder to clear up the main directory. ### Bulk User Provisioning A dev lead asks the agent to create_user for five new interns and add_user_to_group for the Engineering group. ### Webhook Monitoring A DevOps engineer asks the agent to list_automations to check if the file upload webhooks are still active. ## Benefits - Faster user onboarding: Use create_user and add_user_to_group to set up new team members in seconds rather than clicking through multiple screens. - Easier permission audits: Use list_permissions and delete_permission to see exactly who has access to what and remove old rights instantly. - Faster file organization: Use move_file and copy_file to reorganize massive directories without manual dragging and dropping. - Automated workflows: Use create_webhook and list_automations to connect your storage to other parts of your tech stack without writing code. - Quick metadata checks: Use get_file_metadata and list_folder to find specific files and verify their details through a simple chat. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get direct chat control over your entire enterprise storage system. 1.
