Supported Tools

list_folder

List Folder

List files and folders at a given path. Returns file metadata including name, size, type, timestamps, and checksums. Supports pagination for large directories and text name search filtering; search results may be delayed or truncated.

list_users

List Users

List user accounts with optional search filtering. Returns user details including username, email, admin status, and login history. Supports pagination.

search_history

Search History

Search the audit log for file operations and user activity. Filter by path, folder, user, date range, and more. Returns detailed records of actions including uploads, downloads, deletes, moves, copies, and account events.

manage_group

Manage Group

Create, update, list, or delete groups. Groups organize users and can have protocol-level permissions (SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, REST API). Use groups to manage folder permissions for teams.

manage_notification

Manage Notification

Create, update, list, or delete notification rules. Notifications alert users or groups when specific file activities (upload, download, copy, move, delete) occur in a folder. Supports configurable intervals, file pattern matching, and recursive folder monitoring.

manage_user

Manage User

Create, update, or delete a user account. When creating, provide username and email. When updating, provide the user ID and any fields to change. Supports setting permissions, admin roles, authentication methods, and protocol access.

manage_permission

Manage Permission

List, create, or delete folder-level permissions for users and groups. Permissions control access to folders with levels: admin, full, readonly, writeonly, list, and history. Permissions can be recursive to apply to subfolders.

manage_file

Manage File

Copy, move, or delete a file or folder. For copy and move, specify the destination path. Delete supports recursive deletion for non-empty folders.

create_folder

Create Folder

Create a new folder at the specified path. Automatically creates parent directories if they don't exist.

manage_automation

Manage Automation

Create, update, list, delete, or manually run automations. Automations perform file operations (create folders, copy, move, delete, import files, run sync) triggered by schedules, file events, webhooks, or manual invocation.

get_file_info

Get File Info

Retrieve detailed metadata for a specific file or folder, including size, checksums, timestamps, permissions and preview status without logging a download. Use download_file for file content.

upload_file

Upload File

Upload up to 10 MiB of UTF-8 text or Base64 bytes. Uploading may replace an existing file and retain audit history. A partial upload or lost final receipt requires exact-resource inspection before retrying.

download_file

Download File

Download a Files.com file of up to 10 MiB. Requires file read access; downloading can create provider audit history.

get_current_user

Get Connected Identity

Read the current API key identity, owning-user ID when present and native site/workspace context. A site-wide key has no owning user; this does not infer a signed-in human.

get_file_operation

Get File Operation

Read the native status of a file migration started by copy or move. Pending status does not mean completion; visibility depends on the API key and workspace.

Connect Filescom to your AI client

Every client uses the same Magic MCP URL, and so does any other MCP client. Add it once and sign in with SSO.

  1. Enable Filescom in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Filescom MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
  2. Add a custom connector. Open Customize, then Connectors. Select Add, then Custom, then Web.
  3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL. Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>) and continue.
  4. Sign in. Select Add and sign in to load Filescom tools.

Run Filescom through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Filescom and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Filescom tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
  • Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.
