ictfax-mcp
A Model Context Protocol server for ICTFax, the open-source fax server built on the ICTCore framework by ICT Innovations.
It lets an AI assistant list fax transmissions and check their status, and — only when you turn writes on — upload a document and send a fax.
Install
npx -y ictfax-mcp # no install
npm install -g ictfax-mcp
Requires Node.js 18 or newer.
Configure
| Variable | Required | Default | |
|---|---|---|---|
ICTFAX_BASE_URL | yes | ICTCore REST base, normally ending in /api, e.g. https://your-ictfax/api | |
ICTFAX_USERNAME | yes | API account email (ICTCore logs in by email) | |
ICTFAX_PASSWORD | yes | Password for that account | |
ICTFAX_ACCOUNT_ID | no | 1 | Account id to send faxes from |
ICTFAX_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE | no | false | Unlock upload/send (see Safety) |
ICTFAX_TIMEOUT_MS | no | 30000 | Per-request timeout |
ICTFAX_TLS_INSECURE | no | false | Skip TLS verification — self-signed test servers only |

Tools
Read tools are always available:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
ictfax_list_faxes | List fax transmissions (id, contact, status, direction) |
ictfax_get_fax_status | Status of one transmission by id |
Write tools appear only when ICTFAX_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE=true:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
ictfax_upload_document | Upload a local PDF as a fax document; returns a document_id |
ictfax_send_fax | Send a local document as a fax to a number — dials a real number |
Safety
The server is read-only by default. Sending a fax dials a real number and can
cost money, so ictfax_upload_document and ictfax_send_fax are not registered at
all unless you set ICTFAX_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE=true.
How it connects
ICTFax runs on ICTCore, which authenticates with a JWT from POST /authenticate
(login by email) and reads it back from the Authorization: Bearer header. Sending
a fax is a short chain the server handles for you: upload the document (metadata
then raw bytes, which ICTFax converts to fax format), create the recipient and a
sendfax program, create the transmission and send it.
