upload
Upload a file from the local filesystem and get a signed link. Returns an agent_link (direct download URL for scripts/agents) and a human_link (browser-friendly share page). SHA-256 is always computed and returned for integrity checks. Works without an API key (guest mode, 10 MB limit). Set TRANSFA_API_KEY for larger files and longer TTLs.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Quarkus MCP Servers is categorized under File Systems and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Transfa belongs to File Systems using local stdio subprocess. Select Quarkus MCP Servers when you need capabilities focused on file systems and Transfa when you require tools for file systems.
Get metadata about an upload without downloading it. Returns filename, size, SHA-256, expiry, download count, active status, and whether the file is in a grace period.
list_uploads
List your recent uploads. Requires TRANSFA_API_KEY or a key saved by `tf auth`.
delete_upload
Delete an upload immediately. Requires ownership (API key must match the uploader).
