Filekiwi

filekiwi-mcp-server

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for simple and instant file sharing. Input: file path → Output: download link in seconds even for large files

Features

• upload_to_kiwi tool: Uploads files to file.kiwi and returns a shareable URL.
• E2E encrypted upload via file.kiwi API
• No browser required — pure Node.js
• No file size limit
• Download link available immediately (downloads proceed even while upload is still in progress)
• Free download period with automatic file deletion — details

Usage

Once the MCP server is connected, you can ask the AI assistant to share files:

• "Share this file: C:\Users\me\report.pdf"
• "Upload /home/user/photo.png to file.kiwi"
• "Generate a download link for ./presentation.pptx"

The tool will upload the file and return a shareable link like https://file.kiwi/abcdef12#secretKey.

Setup

Test before use

npx -y @file-kiwi/filekiwi-mcp-server "C:\User\your_file.ext"

Claude Code (CLI)

claude mcp add filekiwi -- npx -y @file-kiwi/filekiwi-mcp-server

Claude Desktop / Other MCP Clients

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filekiwi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@file-kiwi/filekiwi-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

File Access

Some environments (e.g. Claude Desktop) restrict local file system access by default. In that case, the AI may not be able to read file paths on your machine. To enable it, add the filesystem MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filekiwi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@file-kiwi/filekiwi-mcp-server"]
    },
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "C:/Users/username"]
    }
  }
}
