FAQ
What is the Fast.io MCP server?
It's a server that provides Claude with 251 workspace tools. By adding it to your config, Claude can upload files, create share links, and query documents using RAG.
How does authentication work?
The first time Claude uses a Fast.io tool, it opens a browser tab to sign in or create a free account. Your session persists, so there are no API keys to manage manually.
Can I see what Claude uploads?
Yes. Everything Claude stores is accessible at app.fast.io. You can browse, preview, comment on, and download files from any device.
Does this work with Claude Desktop and Claude Code?
Yes. It works with both. For Claude Desktop, you add the MCP config to your settings. For Claude Code, you use the 'claude mcp add' command.
What happens when I hit the credit limit?
You get 5,000 credits per month. When they run out, new uploads and AI queries pause until the next cycle. Existing files and share links remain accessible.
Can Claude share files with people who don't use Claude?
Yes. Share links are regular web URLs. Recipients open them in a browser and get previews, downloads, and commenting features without needing an account.
