Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Filestack works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Filestack to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 8 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Filestack, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Filestack. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions Filestack owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I use Filestack with Claude?

    You connect the Filestack MCP through the Vinkius catalog. Once connected, you can give Claude commands to upload or analyze files.

  • 02

    Can I resize images using this MCP?

    Yes. Your agent uses the generate_transform_url capability to create URLs that resize or filter images.

  • 03

    Does this MCP handle video files?

    Yes. It can start video transcoding jobs and poll for their status until they are finished.

  • 04

    What kind of text extraction is supported?

    The get_ocr capability allows your agent to extract both printed and handwritten text from documents.

  • 05

    Do I need to host the files myself?

    No. You can upload files directly to your Filestack S3 storage using the upload_from_url capability.

  • 06

    How can I extract text from a scanned document or image?

    Use the get_ocr capability with the file handle. The AI will perform Optical Character Recognition and return the extracted text along with its coordinates.

  • 07

    Is there a way to check if an uploaded image contains adult or unsafe content?

    Yes, the get_sfw_status capability uses Filestack Intelligence to analyze the image and return a safety score, helping you moderate content automatically.

  • 08

    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.
