Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Transfer every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 9

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

share
share_conversation
Use this to hand your full working context to another AI: any provider, any model, any chat client. Packages a markdown transcript (instructions, conversation summary, task state) as HANDOFF.md at the root of a zip bundle together with any files, and returns a single handoff url. The receiving model just fetches that url: it gets a briefing, the file manifest and download commands in one go. Say to the next agent: "Fetch this url to pick up where I left off."
share_file
Use this when another AI agent (a different machine, model or chat session) or a person needs access to one or more files. Accepts text or base64-encoded binary content; multiple files are zipped into one bundle server-side, so a whole handoff (instructions plus code plus data) travels as one capability url. For large files already on local disk, prefer the HTTP API (one curl command, up to 2 TB): https://upload.83blue.com/docs
share_text
Use this when another AI agent, chat session or person needs text you have: instructions, code, JSON, a prompt for another model. Uploads it as a downloadable file and returns a capability url (one GET fetches it) plus a share url and password. No account or API key needed.
deploy
deploy_site
Use this to put a static website you have built (HTML, CSS, JS, images, fonts) onto the public web in one call, with no signup, no account and no config. Give it the files (there must be an index.html at the root) and it returns a live https url, e.g. https://upload.83blue.com/s/brave-otter-482/, plus a manage_key you can reuse to update or delete it. Ideal when a person asks you to build them a website, landing page, demo, prototype or report and wants to see it live. IMPORTANT: the site is served from a subfolder, so use RELATIVE asset paths only (href="style.css", src="img/logo.png"), never root-absolute paths like "/style.css" which would break. Sites are served as pure static files (server-side code is never executed) and auto-expire after 30 days unless renewed. Each file is text or base64. Total site up to 50 MB, 300 files.
recall
recall
Fetch back durable memory, or any shared file/text, by its 83blue url or token (a capability url, or a share url plus password). Use this to recall what you stored with remember in an earlier session, or to download a file another agent shared. Also callable as get_memory, download_file, fetch_file, get_file.
receive
receive_file
Use this when you have been given an 83blue link and need the file. Accepts a capability url (https://upload.83blue.com/f/...) on its own, or a share url plus password. Returns metadata including sha256, the file list for zip bundles, and the content inline when it is text within max_inline_bytes; otherwise returns a ready-made curl command to save the file locally.
remember
remember
Durable cross-session memory for AI agents: store notes, context, text or JSON now and recall it in a later session or from another machine by url. A free cloud scratchpad and shared key-value store for agents, no signup, no account, no API key. Also callable as save_memory, store_memory, save_note, stash. Returns a url; fetch it back later with recall.
site
delete_site
Remove a site you deployed. Needs the site url/host/slug and its manage_key (returned by deploy_site).
sites
list_sites
Return the status, address, size and expiry of a site you deployed. Pass the url, host or slug.

Transfer — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Transfer do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: delete_site, deploy_site, list_sites, recall, receive_file, remember and 3 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Transfer working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 167 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Transfer?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Transfer need an API key?
No. Transfer completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Transfer?
It answers our handshake in 167 ms on average, which is faster than 73% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
