About
FTP/SFTP/FTPS MCP server with transfer proofs - every upload returns a checksum verdict.
Security Report
Silicon Transfer is a well-architected MCP server for FTP/SFTP/FTPS file transfers with built-in cryptographic verification. The codebase demonstrates strong security practices: credentials are runtime-only (never stored), no telemetry or exfiltration, proper input validation via Zod schemas, and clean separation of concerns. The design explicitly avoids dynamic tool definitions and supply chain risks. Minor findings relate to error handling breadth and logging practices, but do not constitute security vulnerabilities. Permissions (file I/O, network access) are appropriate for the stated purpose. Supply chain analysis found 5 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (1 critical, 4 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

Silicon Transfer MCP Server
FTP / FTPS / SFTP for Claude and other MCP clients - with built-in transfer proofs.
Every upload and download returns a verdict: PROVEN only when the SHA-256 of the
remote file matches your local file. No more "transfer complete" on blind trust.
Philosophy: prove it, then claim it. Built from scratch by Silicon Networks - the makers of AEGIS Shield.
Why this one?
| Typical FTP tools | Silicon Transfer | |
|---|---|---|
| Upload result | "done" | verdict + SHA-256 of both sides |
| Directory sync check | manual | per-file proof walk with mismatch list |
| Remote file fingerprint | download first | streamed SHA-256, no disk contact |
| Protocols | often FTP only | FTP, FTPS, SFTP (password or SSH key) |
Tools (13)
Connection: silicon_connect, silicon_disconnect, silicon_status, silicon_server_info
Files: silicon_upload_file, silicon_download_file, silicon_delete_file, silicon_file_info
Directories: silicon_list_dir, silicon_make_dir, silicon_upload_dir, silicon_download_dir, silicon_rename
Transfers accept proof: "hash" | "size" | "none" - hash is the default for single
files, size for directory trees (switch to hash when it matters).
Install
npm install -g silicon-transfer-mcp-server
That's it - live on npm. Or run it without installing via npx (see config below).
git clone https://github.com/SiliconAINetworks/silicon-transfer-mcp-server.git
cd silicon-transfer-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build
Claude Desktop configuration
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json (no credentials in the config - you pass
them at runtime through silicon_connect, for your own server):
{
"mcpServers": {
"silicon-transfer": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "silicon-transfer-mcp-server"]
}
}
}
{
"mcpServers": {
"silicon-transfer": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["C:/path/to/silicon-transfer-mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
Usage example
Ask your AI assistant:
"Connect to my server via SFTP (host example.com, user deploy, key at ~/.ssh/id_ed25519) and upload dist/app.js to /var/www/app.js - with hash proof."
The assistant calls silicon_connect, then silicon_upload_file and answers with the
verdict:
{
"proof": {
"verdict": "PROVEN",
"detail": "SHA-256 identisch - Transfer bewiesen.",
"local_sha256": "9f2a...",
"remote_sha256": "9f2a..."
}
}
If the hashes ever differ you get MISMATCH with both fingerprints - retry instead
of trusting a broken deploy.
Security notes
Built with the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications (2026) in mind - specifically ASI02 (Tool Misuse) and ASI04 (Agentic Supply Chain).
What this server does not do
- No stored credentials. They are runtime-only tool parameters for your own server - no defaults, no config files with secrets, no server addresses shipped.
- No dynamic tool definitions. Every tool is fixed in the source you can read; nothing is fetched from a remote registry at runtime, so no third party can rewrite what your assistant thinks a tool does.
- No telemetry, no phone-home, no analytics.
Sharp edges - operate accordingly
silicon_delete_file, silicon_delete_directory and silicon_sync_deploy
(with deleteExtras) can destroy remote data. An assistant reading untrusted
content - a web page, a PDF, an email - can be steered by instructions hidden
inside it (indirect prompt injection). Treat these tools like rm -rf:
- Connect with an account scoped to the directory you intend to touch, never root.
- Prefer SSH keys over passwords; give the key its own restricted account.
- Run
silicon_list_dirbefore any delete, and read the plan before approving. - Keep
deleteExtrasoff unless you are deliberately mirroring.
