MCP Integration

FileCodeBox provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint over Streamable HTTP. Compatible AI clients can create text or file shares through it.

Connection

Add a remote HTTP server in your MCP client:

• Transport: Streamable HTTP
• Server URL: http://<FileCodeBox host>:12345/mcp
• Authentication: no token required by default

For a local instance, use http://localhost:12345/mcp. If the administrator disables guest uploads or enables MCP token validation in the admin settings, configure Authorization: Bearer <admin token> in the client. Never commit the token to public configuration or source code.

Available tools

• share_text: create a text share. Required: text; optional: expire_value, expire_style.
• share_file: upload a Base64-encoded file and create a share. Required: filename, content_base64; optional: content_type, expire_value, expire_style.

expire_style accepts day, hour, minute, forever, or count; expire_value must be greater than zero. Successful calls return a share code, URL, and Markdown link.

Security and limits

MCP uploads follow FileCodeBox's guest-upload switch, admin-token validation, upload-size and file-type limits, and upload rate limits. Expose the endpoint only to trusted AI clients. Use HTTPS for public deployments and keep the admin token secure.
