AI assistants are getting better at coding, writing and analysis. But they hit a wall when they need to share a file. You cannot email a file from Claude. You cannot drag-and-drop from an AI session. Until now.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI assistants use external tools as native capabilities. The EasySend MCP plugin gives AI assistants the ability to upload, download and share files directly.
What Is MCP?
MCP is an open protocol created by Anthropic for connecting AI models to external tools and data sources. Instead of asking the AI to generate a cURL command and having you run it manually, MCP lets the AI call the tool directly and get the result.
Think of it like giving the AI hands. Without MCP, the AI can tell you how to share a file. With MCP, the AI shares the file for you.
How EasySend MCP Works
Installation
Add the EasySend MCP plugin to your Claude Code configuration:
// In ~/.claude/settings.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"easysend": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["easysend-mcp"]
}
}
}Or install globally: npm install -g easysend-mcp
Available Tools
Once installed, the AI assistant has access to these tools:
- upload_files - upload one or more files and get a shareable link
- get_bundle - retrieve bundle metadata and file list
- download_file - download a file from a bundle
- download_bundle - download all files from a bundle
- delete_file - remove a file from a bundle
- bundle_status - check if a bundle exists and is accessible
Usage Examples
In a Claude Code session, you can say:
- "Upload this CSV file and share it with the team"
- "Share the build output at /dist/app.zip"
- "Download the file from easysend.co/Ab3Kz and analyze it"
- "Create a report, save it as PDF and upload it to EasySend"
The AI handles the upload, gets the share link and provides it in the conversation. No manual steps required.
Use Cases for AI File Sharing
Development Workflows
During a coding session, the AI generates a build artifact, test report or documentation file. Instead of saving it locally and manually uploading, the AI uploads it directly and provides the share link for code review or deployment.
Data Analysis
The AI processes a dataset and generates a results file (CSV, Excel or PDF report). It uploads the output to EasySend so stakeholders can download it without needing access to the development environment.
Automated Reports
Combine MCP with scheduled tasks. The AI generates a weekly report, uploads it to EasySend and the share link is sent to the team via webhook or email notification.
File Format Conversion
The AI converts a file from one format to another (markdown to PDF, CSV to Excel) and uploads the converted version for sharing.
Other AI Frameworks
While the MCP plugin is designed for Claude Code, the underlying REST API works with any AI framework:
- LangChain - use the API as a custom tool in your agent chain
- AutoGPT - add file sharing as an available action
- Custom agents - any HTTP-capable agent can POST to the upload endpoint
The API requires no authentication, making it trivial to integrate with any automated system.
