What is the 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.

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.

How it works

Start processing assets directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client

Who is this for?

Developers — Automate asset pipelines and generate transformation URLs directly from the code editor.
Content Moderators — Use AI to automatically flag unsafe images or tag visual assets at scale.
Data Engineers — Extract structured text from scanned documents and images using OCR for downstream processing.

Why Cursor?

Cursor's Agent mode turns FileStack into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from FileStack and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 8 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

—
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
—
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
—
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
—
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
