The official Model Context Protocol server for the Filecheck API. Claude, Cursor, and any MCP client can check print files, apply auto-fixes, validate PDF/A, and render previews — with your account’s preflight profiles, tenancy and billing behind every job.
claude mcp add filecheck -e FILECHECK_API_KEY=sk_... -- npx -y filecheck-mcp
One command in Claude Code, or a three-line entry in the Claude Desktop / Cursor MCP config. It runs locally via npx; hosted agents that can’t spawn processes connect to the remote endpoint at api.filecheck.io/mcp instead.
The server authenticates with your secret key: the profiles, rules and workflows the agent browses and applies are yours, and every check lands in your dashboard like any other job.
“Check business-card.pdf for print.” The agent uploads the file (bytes never pass through the model), reads the verdict and findings, applies the recommended auto-fix, and saves the print-ready file back to disk.

filecheck-mcp is the official Model Context Protocol server for the Filecheck API. It gives AI agents like Claude and Cursor a set of tools — check_file, fix_file, validate_pdf, optimize_file, render_previews and more — so they can preflight and repair print files inside a conversation or an automated workflow.
Any MCP client. Locally that includes Claude Code, Claude Desktop and Cursor via npx filecheck-mcp; hosted or remote agents connect to https://api.filecheck.io/mcp over Streamable HTTP with the same API key.
The key lives in your MCP client’s local configuration — the model never sees it. File bytes upload directly to Filecheck over presigned URLs rather than through the model’s context, so the agent only handles reports and download links. Keys are revocable in the dashboard at any time.
The server is free and open source (MIT, on npm). Files an agent checks are normal Filecheck jobs on your account — pay-as-you-go from €0.10 per job with 20 free test credits, or a monthly plan.
