File and folder management in Claude Desktop

Stop jumping between your browser and local files. This MCP server lets your agent handle everything from moving assets to creating folders right from the chat interface. You can use `move_item` or `copy_item` to reorganize your storage, while `create_folder` keeps your structure clean. It’s all local and direct.

Real-time storage auditing

Need to know what's in a specific directory? Just ask your agent to run `list_folder` and it will pull the current contents back into your conversation. Use `get_metadata` to check file details before you decide to act. It’s about having the right info before you run `delete_item`.

Secure link management

Create and track shared links without messing with the web interface. You can generate a link with `create_shared_link` and verify what's exposed using `list_shared_links`. Keep an eye on what you've shared. If a link shouldn't be active, you'll know exactly what to address next.
