About FileStack MCP Server

Connect your Filestack account to any AI agent to handle complex file workflows, from cloud uploads to advanced AI content analysis, through simple commands.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple FileStack tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 8 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

What you can do

Smart Uploads — Upload files directly from any public URL to your Filestack S3 storage using upload_from_url.
AI Intelligence — Automatically extract text from documents (get_ocr), detect objects and features in images (get_image_tags), and check for unsafe content (get_sfw_status).
Image Transformations — Generate optimized CDN URLs for resizing, blurring, or filtering images using generate_transform_url without manual editing.
Video Processing — Initiate and monitor asynchronous video transcoding jobs (start_video_transcode) to convert files into web-ready formats like MP4 or HLS.
Metadata Inspection — Retrieve deep technical details including dimensions, mime types, and file sizes with get_metadata.

The FileStack MCP Server exposes 8 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
