## What it does

The plugin runs a local Node.js MCP server providing 19 tools, three skills, and the `/filestack-transform` slash command. It handles local file uploads, remote URL ingestion, document conversion, image resizing, and ZIP packaging. You can also analyze media with Filestack AI features, capture website screenshots, or debug integration errors.

A demo API key is included for immediate testing. To access private storage containers or configure custom endpoints, export `FILESTACK_API_KEY` in your environment.

Policy generation and URL signing execute directly on your machine. Without `FILESTACK_APP_SECRET`, security tools like `filestack_sign_policy` will not run.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):

/plugin install filestack-claude-plugin@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- upload local assets or ingest remote URLs into Filestack storage
- construct CDN transformation links for resizing or format conversions

# Filestack Plugin for Claude Code & Cursor

Official [Filestack](https://www.filestack.com) plugin for [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) and [Cursor](https://cursor.com) — the file handling platform-as-a-service for uploads, cloud source ingestion, on-the-fly image/video/document processing, CDN delivery, and policy-based security.

This plugin brings the full Filestack platform into your coding agent through **19 MCP tools**, **5 context-aware skills**, and a natural language slash command. Upload files, build transformation pipelines, run AI/ML analysis (tagging, OCR, captioning, moderation), convert documents and videos, bundle ZIPs, capture web screenshots, run workflows, generate signed security policies, verify webhook signatures, set up integrations, and debug API errors — all through conversation without leaving the terminal.

## Supported Platforms

This plugin works with both **Claude Code** and **Cursor**. Install it from either marketplace and the correct configuration is detected automatically.

| Platform | Manifest |
|----------|----------|
| Claude Code | `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` |
| Cursor | `.cursor-plugin/plugin.json` |

## Installation

**From marketplace (recommended):**

```text
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/filestack/filestack-claude-plugin.git
/plugin install filestack-claude-plugin@filestack-plugin
```

The plugin works immediately with a built-in demo API key. For full access to your own Filestack account, set your API key (see [Configuration](#configuration)).

## Configuration

The plugin runs a local MCP server and works out of the box with a demo API key (`APQLlwqrRScGxhw78gs9Wz`). To use your own Filestack account, set your API key as an environment variable before starting your editor:

```bash
export FILESTACK_API_KEY=your_api_key
export FILESTACK_APP_SECRET=your_app_secret  # only needed for security tools
```

You can find your API key and app secret in the [Filestack Developer Portal](https://dev.filestack.com/).

| Variable | Required | Used by |
|----------|----------|---------|
| `FILESTACK_API_KEY` | No (demo key used if unset) | All file operation and transformation tools |
| `FILESTACK_APP_SECRET` | Only for security tools | `filestack_sign_policy`, `filestack_generate_signed_url` |

The MCP server runs locally via Node.js. Policy signing happens on your machine — your app secret never leaves your environment.

## MCP Tools

The plugin exposes 19 tools across 7 categories:

| Category | Tools |
|----------|-------|
| File operations | `filestack_upload`, `filestack_retrieve`, `filestack_delete`, `filestack_store_url` |
| Transformations | `filestack_transform_url`, `filestack_transform_apply`, `filestack_list_transforms` |
| Security | `filestack_generate_policy`, `filestack_sign_policy`, `filestack_generate_signed_url` |
| Intelligence (AI/ML) | `filestack_analyze` (tags / sfw / caption / ocr / copyright / image_sentiment / doc_detection / text_sentiment) |
| Document & video | `filestack_convert_document`, `filestack_convert_video`, `filestack_video_status` |
| Archive & capture | `filestack_zip_files`, `filestack_screenshot_url` |
| Workflows & webhooks | `filestack_run_workflow`, `filestack_verify_webhook_signature`, `filestack_sign_webhook_payload` |
