Using With Claude

Claude Desktop reads its MCP servers from claude_desktop_config.json. Add the entry on the right under mcpServers, replace the FILES_COM_API_KEY value with a Files.com API key, and restart Claude Desktop. The MCP quickstart shows where the file lives on each operating system, walking through the same steps for another server.

The entry starts the server with uvx, so uv has to be installed first; see Installation.

Once Claude has restarted, the Files.com tools appear in its tool list. Tools lists them by category and explains why it pays to enable only the ones a task needs.
