Frequently asked questions about the FileStack MCP Server
How can I extract text from a scanned document or image?
Use the get_ocr tool with the file handle. The AI will perform Optical Character Recognition and return the extracted text along with its coordinates.
Is there a way to check if an uploaded image contains adult or unsafe content?
Yes, the get_sfw_status tool uses Filestack Intelligence to analyze the image and return a safety score, helping you moderate content automatically.
Can I resize an image without actually downloading and re-uploading it?
Absolutely. Use generate_transform_url to create a specific CDN URL with tasks like resize=width:400. This allows the Filestack CDN to handle the transformation on the fly.
