• QuickFile beta REST API bearer-token authentication
• Multiple QuickFile entities in one MCP process

Install

QuickFile MCP requires Node.js 24. Install the published package globally for long-lived MCP clients and direct CLI use:

npm install --global quickfile-mcp
quickfile --help

Run the MCP server without a global installation when needed:

npx --yes quickfile-mcp

For source development, clone the repository and use its pinned Node.js and npm versions:

git clone https://github.com/marcusquinn/quickfile-mcp.git
cd quickfile-mcp
nvm install
nvm use
corepack enable npm
npm ci
npm run hooks:install
npm run build

Source development requires the exact Node.js version in .nvmrc (currently 24.19.0) and npm 11.17.0. The repository declares npm through packageManager; use Corepack to select it before installing dependencies.
