Ftp Deploy MCP Overview

The alebgl77/ftp-deploy-mcp MCP server gives AI agents MCP tools for listing, reading, uploading, downloading, and managing files on FTP, FTPS, and SFTP servers. It uses a local JSON configuration with named servers, credentials, remote roots, local file boundaries, and protocol-specific safety settings. Recursive deployment supports dry runs and gitignore-like exclusions, while read-only mode can block remote mutations. Reach for it when an agent needs controlled deployment or file administration against infrastructure you operate.
