Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Filetourl 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 7

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

upload

create_upload_url

Preferred way to host a file. Reserves a link and returns a short-lived upload_url on filetourl.org itself, safe for AI agent sandboxes that only allow egress to trusted domains, since the upload never has to leave filetourl.org. Send the raw file bytes yourself with a single HTTP PUT to that URL (do not read the file into this conversation, and do not base64-encode it). The public_url returned works as soon as the PUT succeeds. Needs a FileToUrl Developer API key.

upload_chunk

Send one chunk of a file started with start_upload. Call repeatedly with increasing chunk_index (starting at 0) until the whole file is sent, then call finish_upload.

upload_file

Host a small file by sending its bytes inline as base64. Prefer create_upload_url instead: inline base64 is slow and costly above roughly 100KB. For a user's own files only. Needs a FileToUrl Developer API key.

confirm

confirm_upload

Optional. Confirm that the PUT to a create_upload_url upload_url finished, and get the final size and link back. The link also activates without this call, this just verifies it.

file

get_file_status

Look up whether a link created earlier is still active. Reports 'pending' for a reserved upload whose bytes have not arrived yet, and 'expired' once its upload window has passed.

finish

finish_upload

Complete a chunked upload after all chunks have been sent via upload_chunk. Assembles the file, uploads it, and returns the shareable URL.

start

start_upload

Begin a chunked upload for larger files. Returns an upload_id and recommended chunk size. Use this instead of upload_file for files over ~2MB.

Filetourl — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Filetourl do?

It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: confirm_upload, create_upload_url, finish_upload, get_file_status, start_upload, upload_chunk and 1 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 Filetourl 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 379 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Filetourl?

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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Filetourl need an API key?

No. Filetourl completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Filetourl?

It answers our handshake in 379 ms on average, which is faster than 35% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
