Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server
You can use our Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server to allow your AI application to interact with your Files.com site.
Giving AI controlled access to your Files.com site, enables your AI agent to interact with your site as if it were an extension of your team—without compromising security, auditability, or control.
Whether it's uploading, downloading, querying folders, or managing users, our MCP Server enables your AI to become a personal digital assistant for your Files.com site.
Model Context Protocol
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to Artificial Intelligence (AI) Large Language Models (LLMs). MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.
MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol.
