Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
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_urlwithout 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
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Filestack API Key (and optional Policy/Signature for security)
- 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 teams choose Vinkius for FileStack in LangChain
The FileStack MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 8 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in LangChain only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
FileStack for LangChain
Every tool call from LangChain to the FileStack MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
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.
How does LangChain connect to MCP servers?
Use langchain-mcp-adapters to create an MCP client. LangChain discovers all tools and wraps them as native LangChain tools compatible with any agent type.
Which LangChain agent types work with MCP?
All agent types including ReAct, OpenAI Functions, and custom agents work with MCP tools. The tools appear as standard LangChain tools after the adapter wraps them.
Can I trace MCP tool calls in LangSmith?
Yes. All MCP tool invocations appear as traced steps in LangSmith, showing input parameters, response payloads, latency, and token usage.
