MCP tools · 7 exposed · ~1,011 tokens

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 →

Tool Tokens
delete_file ~105

Permanently deletes ONE of the caller's own YAFL transfers, identified by `id` (a bare transfer id or a full share URL — the fragment/key, if present, is never read). This cannot be undone: the R2 object is purged and the transfer record is removed. Destructive action.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyesA YAFL transfer id, or a full share URL, e.g. https://yafl.dev/t/{id}#{key}

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

download_file ~262

Downloads and decrypts exactly the one file referenced by the given YAFL share `url`, writing it only into `destDir` (default: the current working directory) — never anywhere else. Requires the decryption key embedded in the URL fragment; the key is used only locally to decrypt and is never sent to the API. No YAFL API key is required for retrieval — anyone holding the link can download it; only uploading or managing files requires a key. Optionally pass a `password` for password-protected links.

NameTypeReqDescription
destDirstringDirectory to write the downloaded file into (absolute or cwd-relative); defaults to the current working directory. The file is written only inside this directory.
passwordstringPassword for a password-protected (v2) link. Used only locally to derive the decryption key — never sent to the API. Required when the link is password-protected; omitting it on such a link returns a…
urlstringyesA YAFL share URL including the fragment key (e.g. https://yafl.dev/t/{id}#{key}), OR the compact {id}#{key} retrieval code printed alongside it — both resolve identically.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

email_link ~113

Emails this YAFL share link to a recipient. The link carries the decryption key in its fragment – anyone with access to that inbox can open the file. Requires a verified account.

NameTypeReqDescription
linkstringyesA YAFL share URL including the fragment key (e.g. https://yafl.dev/t/{id}#{key}), OR the compact {id}#{key} retrieval code printed alongside it — both resolve identically.
recipientstringyesThe email address to send the share link to.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_status ~111

Checks whether the YAFL share link at the given `url` is still live — live, expired, or not found — without downloading or decrypting anything. Returns liveness, size, and expiry only. Does not read the decryption key even if present in the URL fragment, and never fetches any file bytes.

NameTypeReqDescription
urlstringyesA YAFL share URL, e.g. https://yafl.dev/t/{id}#{key} (the fragment/key is ignored by this tool)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_files ~87

Lists the caller's OWN YAFL transfers only — metadata only (id, size, status, expiry, and a download path). Never returns file contents, never a decrypted name, and never another account's files. Optionally cap the number of results with `limit`.

NameTypeReqDescription
limitintegerMaximum number of transfers to return (most recent first). Omit for the full capped list.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

login ~103

Starts a device-code login for an MCP agent that has no shell. Returns a verification URL and a short user code for the human to open and approve in a browser; approving is a one-time email-link sign-in that proves the human controls the account. This tool does NOT open a browser itself - relay the returned URL and code to the human. Once approved, the minted API key is stored locally and subsequent tool calls in this session authenticate automatically, with no further action needed.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

upload_file ~230

Encrypts and uploads exactly the file or directory at the given local `path` (absolute, or relative to the current working directory). A directory is zipped client-side into a single archive before upload. Reads only that one path – never scans unrelated files or directories. Returns a shareable link (24h expiry, 100MB cap) with the decryption key embedded in the URL fragment; the key is never sent to the API. Optionally make the link one-time (burned after the first download) or password-protected.

NameTypeReqDescription
oneTimebooleanWhen true, the link is destroyed after the first successful download – a second download attempt returns a not_found-style error. Defaults to false (the link stays live until its normal 24h expiry).
passwordstringOptional password to protect the link. Composed into the decryption key on the client via a fresh salt – never transmitted to the API. When set, the returned link requires this same password to decry…
pathstringyesAbsolute or cwd-relative path to the local file or directory to upload

Common questions

What is the dev.yafl/mcp server?

dev.yafl/mcp is listed in the public MCP registry as dev.yafl/mcp. Agent-first E2EE file transfer over MCP: move files between machines in one tool call, gone in 24h. This page covers its npm package (@yafldev/mcp).

Is the dev.yafl/mcp server safe to use?

dev.yafl/mcp scores 94 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 dev.yafl/mcp server expose?

dev.yafl/mcp exposes 7 tools: upload_file, get_status, download_file, list_files, delete_file, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,011 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the dev.yafl/mcp server still maintained?

dev.yafl/mcp is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 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 dev.yafl/mcp server under?

dev.yafl/mcp declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
