For AI agents & developers

File tools your agents can call —
without uploading files anywhere

filewash is the privacy-first file-processing layer for AI agents. One portable engine, three ways to call it: an MCP server, a metered REST API, and an npm SDK. Files are processed in memory and never stored or logged.

View on GitHub npm install @fixpixel/filewash-api

Zero-retention

Files are processed in memory and streamed back. Nothing is written to disk; contents are never logged.

The two tools nobody else ships

Background removal and metadata scrubbing as an MCP — the gaps every other PDF-merge wrapper leaves open.

Runs where your agent runs

Local model for background removal, no third-party upload. A non-starter becomes compliant for legal, health, and finance.

One engine, three transports

MCP server

Drop-in for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Claude Code. Your agent gets 11 file tools over stdio — no API key, no upload.

Metered REST API

One HTTPS endpoint per tool. API-key auth, per-key monthly quotas, zero-retention. For agents and backends that run in the cloud.

npm SDK

import { tools } from "@fixpixel/filewash-api" — the same portable engine, callable in-process from any Node app. No service to run.

Add the MCP server

// claude_desktop_config.json → mcpServers
{
  "filewash": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@fixpixel/filewash-api", "mcp"]
  }
}

Your agent now has 11 tools. Ask it to “strip the GPS metadata from these photos”.

Or call the REST API

curl -X POST https://api.filewash.app/v1/tools/image_remove_background \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer fw_your_key" \
  -F [email protected] -o cutout.png

Discover every tool at GET /v1/tools.

“Files never leave your machine” is only credible if you can read the source. It’s all on GitHub.
