From the repository

Install via npm and configure with an MCP client such as Claude Desktop. Use the upload_to_kiwi tool by asking the AI assistant to share a file, e.g., “Share this file: C:\Users\me\report.pdf”. Some environments may require an additional filesystem MCP server to enable local file access.

`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.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

filekiwi-mcp-server

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

Features

- upload_to_kiwi tool: Uploads files to file.kiwi and returns a shareable URL. - Automated upload via headless Chrome powered by Playwright. - No file size limit - Download link available immediately after file input (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#hashashahshashhashhash.

Setup

Test before use

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



Claude Code (CLI)

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



Claude Desktop / Other MCP Clients

json
{
  "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:

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

FAQ

Why not headless mode?

If the upload fails, this is to allow the user to retry directly in the browser. file.kiwi supports resumable uploads.

NO AUTHENTICATION or API KEY required?

No. Not at all.

File deletion

Files are automatically deleted in 90 hours after upload.

Is it free?

Yes, it is free for any size of files. But, There is free download period for each file. details
