Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 8 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Tracking file changes shouldn't require manual audit log downloads.
Today, finding out who accessed a file and when is a slog. You have to navigate to the file, click 'Details,' then find the 'Activity' tab. You download a CSV, and then you try to read the timestamps and user IDs, usually after manually filtering out the junk records.
With the Files.com MCP Server, you tell your agent, 'Show me all downloads for this folder last Tuesday.' It runs `list_activity_history` and hands you a clean, summarized list right in the chat. No downloads, no spreadsheets, just the facts.
Files.com MCP Server: Manage file access and structure with the agent.
The process used to be: 1) Check the folder list. 2) Note the specific file path. 3) Open the file, then check its metadata. 4) If done, you might need to manually create a new folder elsewhere. This requires jumping between 3 or 4 different system views.
Now, you ask the agent to 'Get the details for the final contract and make a new archive folder for it.' It runs `get_file_details` and `create_folder` in sequence. It keeps the entire workflow contained, giving you the result immediately.

How Files.com MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to the server and provide your Files.com API Key and Subdomain (e.g., yourcompany.files.com).
- 2 Your AI client authenticates with the server, establishing a secure connection to your file ecosystem.
- 3 You prompt the client with a natural language request (e.g., 'Show me the audit logs for last month') and the agent executes the necessary tool calls.
The bottom line is, your AI client handles the connection and tool execution, letting you manage your secure files without touching the web interface.
Who Is Files.com MCP For?
The compliance officer who needs to prove data governance. The IT administrator who gets tired of clicking through permission dashboards. The operations team member who needs to track down a missing file's history. If you manage data security or file flow, this is for you.
Runs audit checks by calling list_activity_history to verify file access logs and ensuring adherence to retention policies.
Manages user access and folder structure by using list_users, list_user_groups, and list_permissions to correct permission errors.
Coordinates file assets by running create_folder or delete_file when a project phase ends, keeping the storage clean.
What Changes When You Connect
- Audit every file movement. Instead of manually running reports, use
list_activity_historyto pull a summary of all uploads, downloads, and deletions over a date range. - Maintain clean storage. Use
create_folderordelete_filedirectly through your agent to build new project folders or purge outdated assets without leaving your workspace. - Verify who can see what.
list_permissionsinstantly shows the access rights for any file or folder, letting you confirm compliance without clicking through user matrices. - Know your users and groups.
list_usersandlist_user_groupslet you pull a complete directory roster and group list to verify access scope before making changes. - Deep file insight.
get_file_detailsprovides the full metadata for a file—size, type, and path—allowing your agent to process specific data points. - See the whole structure. Use
list_foldersto map out the entire file system hierarchy at a given path, giving you a clear view of your current asset organization.
Real-World Use Cases
The compliance audit gap
A compliance officer needs to prove that all client contract files were only accessed by the legal team. They ask their agent to run list_activity_history filtered by the client folder and 'Legal Team' users. The agent returns a filtered log showing only approved access attempts, satisfying the audit requirement.
Restructuring a project directory
The project lead finishes a phase and needs to archive all assets. They prompt their agent: 'Create a folder called /Archive-Q1' and then ask the agent to move all current files into it. The agent runs create_folder and then uses delete_file to clean up the old directory structure.
Fixing permission creep
The IT admin finds a sensitive folder with too many permissions. They use list_permissions to see exactly which groups have write access, then use list_user_groups to confirm the group name, and finally adjust the permissions via the agent.
Onboarding a new team member
The manager needs to grant access to a new hire. They first run list_users to check the employee's account ID, then list_user_groups to find the correct group, and finally use the agent to confirm the appropriate permissions are set for the new user.
The Tradeoffs
Assuming data is fresh
Manually checking a folder structure and assuming a file exists, only to find it was deleted minutes ago by a coworker. You waste time searching for a missing path.
→
Don't guess. Use list_folders or get_file_details to confirm the file's existence and metadata directly through the agent. It tells you if the file is there, period.
Over-relying on UI menus
Clicking through dozens of tabs and menus to find out who has access to a sensitive folder, risking missing a critical group membership or permission level.
→
Just ask the agent to run list_permissions on the folder path. It compiles the full access list immediately, regardless of how many groups are involved.
Treating file operations as single steps
Creating a new folder, then realizing you also need to update permissions for that folder, and having to switch context to a different tool or screen.
→
Use the agent to chain the calls. First, run create_folder. Then, immediately use list_permissions on the new path to confirm and manage the initial access settings.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your job requires verifying data lineage or managing state across multiple resources. You need to know who can access what and when it happened. This is for compliance, security, and deep operations.
Don't use it if you just need to rename a file, or if you only need to see a simple list of names. For basic file transfers without auditing needs, a simple cloud sync utility is fine. But if you need to track changes, you need the list_activity_history tool.
Common Questions About Files.com MCP
How do I use the Files.com MCP Server to list all users? +
You run the list_users tool. This pulls a clean list of every account registered in your Files.com system. If you need to check the groups, use list_user_groups first.

Run list_permissions on the folder path. This tool lists all users and groups, and specifies exactly what level of access (read, write, etc.) they have.
Does list_activity_history track everything? +
It tracks core file actions: uploads, downloads, and deletions. You can specify time ranges, and the tool returns a summary of those events for auditing purposes.
How do I list all available folders? +
Use the list_folders tool and provide the starting directory path. This gives you a full overview of the current folder structure.
How do I use the `list_file_permissions` tool to check user groups? +
The list_permissions tool shows detailed access rights for files and folders. You can use it to check specific users or list all organizational groups for a comprehensive security view.
What should I do if I get an error when running `get_file_details`? +
If get_file_details fails, check the file path for typos or if the file actually exists. Error codes usually specify if the issue is permissions-related or if the resource is missing.
Does `list_users` handle deleted or inactive accounts? +
The list_users tool lists all accounts configured in Files.com. It provides details on current users and groups, helping you manage your full directory roster.
Can I see who downloaded a specific file via AI? +
Yes! Use the list_activity_history tool. Your agent will retrieve the audit logs, which you can filter to find download events for a particular file or user.
How do I create a new folder in my secure storage? +
Use the create_folder action. Provide the path where you want the new directory to be created (e.g., '/projects/2024') and the agent will register it in Files.com instantly.
Is it possible to list all users in my Files.com instance via AI? +
Absolutely. Use the list_users query. The agent will retrieve the complete directory of users configured for your company's instance.
