Scriptable file operations with Claude Code and MCP

This DropBox Alternative server brings remote file management directly to your command line. You can pipe terminal outputs directly into operations like `create_folder` or trigger bulk file transfers using `copy_item` and `move_item` in a single terminal session. This terminal-first approach is perfect for automated cron jobs or shell scripts. You can script complex workflows that organize remote files without opening a browser.

Headless sharing audits and link creation

This DropBox Alternative server lets you manage public endpoints straight from the terminal. Claude Code runs `list_shared_links` to output all active public assets, allowing you to quickly grep for specific paths or exposed directories. Need to share a log file or build artifact? Claude Code generates the link using `create_shared_link` and prints it directly to your stdout, ready to be piped to another script or Slack webhook.

Fast terminal-based file discovery

This DropBox Alternative server lets you bypass slow web interfaces when searching for assets. Claude Code uses `search_files` to query your entire remote storage from the command line, returning matching paths in milliseconds. Once found, the CLI agent runs `get_metadata` to inspect file properties or `list_folder` to view surrounding files. Connecting the MCP server takes one command.
