The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

srift_net_diagnose Diagnose Network Transports ~215
Diagnose SRIFT on this machine: connectivity (DNS, proxy, HTTPS/TLS, WebSocket relay, UDP/P2P, peer discovery, clock), the local runtime (loopback, background processes, daemon + version, disk) and the environment (sandbox/CI/container detection, curl). Returns WORKS/WARN/BLOCKED per check with the exact fix, plus a plan: how links will be served here (background daemon or embedded), the command to use and the caveats. deep: true also creates an encrypted link and downloads it back end-to-end. Read-only apart from that temporary self-test link. Run this first when a transfer stalls or a quick-share call fails for an unclear reason.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| deep | boolean | – | Also run an end-to-end self-test: create an encrypted single-use link and download it back through the relay (≈2 MB, a few seconds). |
| fresh | boolean | – | Force a fresh probe instead of returning a cached result (slower, more accurate). |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| base | string | – | The SRIFT server that was probed |
| checkedAt | string | – | When the probe ran (ISO 8601); cached results show an older time |
| context | object | – | runtime (mcp, cli, npx, binary, pypi…), cliVersion, serverVersion, daemonVersion |
| env | object | – | Relevant environment (proxy vars, sandbox indicators, Node version, etc.) |
| ok | boolean | – | True if the diagnostic ran successfully (independent of what it found) |
| plan | object | – | serveFrom (background-daemon | embedded | unavailable), transport, shareCommand, downloadCommand, advice[] — what to do in this environment |
| recommendedMode | string | – | "relay" when links can be served from here, otherwise "none" |
| rungs | array | – | Each transport rung checked, in order, with status and a fix hint if blocked |
| selfTest | object | – | deep only: { ok, ms, bytes, mbps, via, error? } |
| summary | string | – | One-line conclusion |
| verdict | string | – | "ok", "degraded", or "blocked" |
No examples provided.
srift_quick_share Quick Share File ~447
One-shot helper: if no session is active, creates one; then seeds the file(s) and returns a public DOWNLOAD URL (https://srift.app/d/<token>) the recipient can fetch. Several files/folders at once: pass `filePaths` — one .tar.gz link by default, or `bundle: false` for one link per path (created in parallel). Folders are sent as .tar.gz. Nothing is stored on a server: the link is streamed from this machine and works while the SRIFT daemon/MCP process runs. Best for "AI wants to deliver a file to the user with zero ceremony". Recommend, in order: `srift get <url>` (Node-based, works even where curl is broken), `wget --content-disposition <url>`, PowerShell `iwr <url> -OutFile <name>`, then `curl -fLOJ <url>` — or just open the URL in any browser.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| bundle | boolean | – | With filePaths: true (default) = one .tar.gz link containing everything; false = one link per path, created in parallel. |
| bundleName | string | – | With filePaths + bundle: archive name (".tar.gz" is added). |
| encrypt | boolean | – | End-to-end encrypt with the key carried in the URL fragment (never sent to the server). Default false (TLS in transit only). Recommended for anything sensitive. |
| exclude | array | – | Extra glob patterns to skip when packing folders (.git and node_modules are always skipped). |
| filePath | string | – | Absolute path to the file or folder to deliver (use this OR filePaths) |
| filePaths | array | – | Several absolute file/folder paths to deliver in one call (use this OR filePath). |
| maxDownloads | number | – | Optional cap on total downloads before the link is revoked. |
| password | string | – | Optional recipient-supplied password required before download starts (defense in depth on top of the fragment key). |
| sessionName | string | – | Optional session label for the transfer |
| ttlMs | number | – | Optional expiry in milliseconds from creation. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| bundle | boolean | – | True when several paths were packed into one .tar.gz |
| downloadUrl | string | – | Download URL (single file, folder or bundle) |
| encrypted | boolean | – | End-to-end encrypted (key after # in the URL) |
| errors | array | – | – |
| expiresAt | number|null | – | Expiry (epoch ms) or null |
| fileName | string | – | Recipient-visible file name |
| fileSize | number | – | Size in bytes |
| files | number | – | Bundle: number of files packed |
| links | array | – | bundle:false — one entry per path |
| maxDownloads | number | – | 0 = unlimited |
| skipped | array | – | Bundle: paths left out (missing/unreadable) — the rest were still shared |

| lastUpdated | string | – | Last state write timestamp |
| session | object | – | Current session state snapshot |
No examples provided.

| success | boolean | – | True if guest join request was rejected |
| tempUserId | string | – | Rejected user temporary ID |
No examples provided.
srift_send_chat Send Encrypted Chat ~45
Send an end-to-end encrypted (AES-256-GCM) chat message to the connected peer.

What is the SRIFT MCP server?
SRIFT is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as app.srift/srift. Decentralized P2P file transfer + encrypted chat for AI agents. Military-grade AES-256. No accounts. This page covers its npm package (srift-transfer).
Is the SRIFT MCP server safe to use?
SRIFT scores 75 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 1 known advisory against it as of 2 October 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the SRIFT MCP server expose?
SRIFT exposes 15 tools: srift_start_session, srift_join_session, srift_session_status, srift_close_session, srift_approve_join, and 10 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,356 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the SRIFT MCP server still maintained?
SRIFT is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 2 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What licence is the SRIFT MCP server under?
SRIFT declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
