-
Configure the plugin with the settings below

From the repository
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#hashashahshashhashhash.
No. Not at all.
upload_to_kiwi
Upload files to file.kiwi and return the share URL. IMPORTANT: Only real file system paths work (e.g. C:\Users\username\Desktop\file.png). Paths like /mnt/user-data/uploads/ or /home/claude/ are virtual and will fail. Ask the user for the actual local file path on their computer.

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