sftp_download

MCP tool from MCP Server by LeszczynskiKarol

Stream a file from a remote host to the local filesystem (uses the persistent SSH pool). Essential when working from Claude.ai web — the cloud sandbox has no native scp

How to use it

Project documentation lists sftp_download for the MCP Server MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
