FAQ

What is the Fastio MCP server?

It's a server that provides Claude with a consolidated set of 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 Fastio 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 are the usage limits on the plans?

Fastio starts with a 14-day Business Trial. Our Solo plan ($29/mo) includes 1 TB storage and 300,000 credits/mo. Business ($99/mo) includes 10 TB storage and 1,200,000 credits/mo. Growth ($299/mo) includes 50 TB storage and 4,500,000 credits/mo. Existing files and share links always 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.

Fastio CLI

Claude Code users are already in the terminal.

The Fastio CLI gives you the same workspace tools — upload, search, share — as a standalone command. It also includes a built-in MCP server via fastio mcp.


npm install --global @vividengine/fastio-cli
