Nothing serious here today

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

Put your own value in place of <FILES_COM_API_KEY> (Files.com API key used by the local MCP server to authenticate API requests). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: FILES_COM_LOCAL_ROOT (Optional absolute path to an existing local directory. Restricts uploads and downloads to that directory and its children. Omit or leave empty to allow any local path accessible to the server).

Python MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Python MCP?

Python MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package files-com-mcp was installed 2 385 times last week.

How do I connect Python MCP?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls files-com-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Python MCP?

The pypi package files-com-mcp was installed 2 385 times in the last week. Week over week that is +16%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Python MCP open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 3 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
