How to find file attachments with your AI

Connect Nuclino to your AI client once. From then on, your agent can pull specific files directly from your wiki pages.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I find files attached to my wiki pages?

Your agent uses the Nuclino MCP to locate specific wiki items and then pulls the list of files attached to them. You'll get a clear list of file names and links. Here is how it works.

The results you get

Where your files appear

The agent does the heavy lifting to find exactly what you need.

LISTED

A file inventory

The agent identifies all files linked to a specific page. You get a clean list of what's available.

LOCATED

Direct file links

The agent extracts the specific file attachments from the wiki item. You'll see the exact links to the documents.

FOUND

Targeted search results

The agent narrows down your workspace to find specific file types. You get the files without browsing every folder.

HUMAN

Manual file access

The agent provides the file list, but you must click the links to open or download them. It won't handle the files for you.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent moves from broad searches to specific file extraction.

  1. Search the workspace

    The agent looks for the wiki pages or items that likely contain your target files.

    search_items

  2. Identify the page

    Once it finds a relevant page, the agent pulls the full details for that specific item.

    get_item

  3. Extract attachments

    The agent looks inside the page to find the list of uploaded files.

    list_files

  4. Present the list

    The agent gives you the names and links of the files it found.

    list_files

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI download the files for me?

    No. The AI can find the files and provide the links, but you have to click the links to download them yourself.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete attachments from my wiki?

    No. This MCP only has tools to search and list information. It cannot modify or delete your files.

  • 03

    Does the AI see every file in my Nuclino workspace?

    The AI can see any file it can find through the search and list tools. If a file isn't linked to a page, the AI won't find it.

  • 04

    Can I ask for files by their extension?

    Yes. You can ask the agent to look for specific types like .pdf, .docx, or .png.

  • 05

    Will the AI create new files in Nuclino?

    No. The current tools are for finding and listing existing data, not for creating new content or attachments.
