Frequently asked questions about the Syncthing MCP Server
How can I check if Syncthing needs a restart after I changed the configuration?
You can use the get_restart_required tool. It will return a boolean indicating if a restart is pending due to configuration changes.
Is it possible to pause synchronization for a specific device using the AI?
Yes. Use the system_pause tool and provide the specific Device ID. If you omit the ID, it will pause all devices.
Can I see which files are currently being synchronized?
You can use get_db_status or get_db_completion for a specific folder to see the synchronization progress and state of the files in that directory.
