01The servers
8b-is/smart-tree
8b-is/smart-treeAI-native directory visualization with semantic analysis, ultra-compressed formats for AI consumption, and 10x token reduction. Supports quantum-semantic mode with intelligent file categorization.
aadilr/changethisfile-mcp
aadilr/changethisfile-mcpFree file conversion between 690+ formats. Tools: `convert_file` (URL or base64 in → signed download URL out) and `list_conversions`. Covers image, video, audio, document, data, font, ebook, and archive formats. No auth or signup required; remote streamable-HTTP endpoint available (see README).
Agaveis/hiberden-mcp
agaveis/hiberden-mcpRead and verify your local media-archive catalog from an AI assistant: 3-2-1 coverage across disk, NAS, S3-compatible cloud, and LTO tape. Verifies a copy by physically reading it back and re-hashing it against the source; catalog-management and delete tools are off by default. On Windows it installs as a signed Desktop Extension (MCPB); on Linux the same connector ships as a standalone binary.
alebgl77/ftp-deploy-mcp
alebgl77/ftp-deploy-mcpDeploy files from AI agents to your own FTP/FTPS/SFTP servers — multi-server config, recursive deploy with dry-run and gitignore-like excludes, per-server path jail and read-only mode, FileZilla import, one-command setup for popular MCP clients.
box/mcp-server-box-remote
box/mcp-server-box-remoteThe Box MCP server allows third party AI agents to securely and seamlessly access Box content and use tools such as search, asking questions from files and folders, and data extraction.
bzsanti/oxidize-python
bzsanti/oxidize-pythonRust-powered PDF toolkit: create, read, and analyze PDFs; extract text and entities for RAG; convert to Markdown; split, merge, rotate, and reorder pages; add content, annotations, and form fields; and encrypt documents. Ships in the `oxidize-pdf` PyPI package — run locally with `uvx oxidize-mcp`.
ckanthony/Chisel
ckanthony/chiselReduce context usage on file use. Send only unified diffs instead of full files (up to 20-100× fewer tokens), and read large files with targeted `grep`/`sed` instead of full reads (up to 500×). Kernel-enforced path confinement hard-locks the agent to a configured root: no accidental reads or writes outside scope. Standalone for your file access or embed in any MCP server (Rust, Node.js, Python via WASM).
Cohexa-ai/agent-coherence
cohexa-ai/agent-coherenceCoherence guard for shared files: when two agents write the same file, the stale writer is denied instead of silently overwriting, then reacquires and retries. Single-host, TLA+-verified. Install: `uvx --from "agent-coherence[mcp]" stale-write-guard-fs`.
colapsis/transfa
colapsis/transfaEphemeral file transfer for AI agents and CI/CD pipelines — upload any file, get a SHA-256-verified, TTL-enforced link. 4 tools: upload, file_info, list_uploads, delete_upload. Zero-config via `npx -y transfa-mcp`.
