Runs as a Node.js application to interface between AI assistants and the Proton Drive filesystem, with cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Provides direct access to Proton Drive content, allowing file and folder management through local filesystem operations while preserving Proton's end-to-end encryption.
Proton Drive MCP
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients to interact with your Proton Drive files.
โจ Features
๐ List files and folders in your Proton Drive
๐ Read file contents directly
โ๏ธ Create and write files to Proton Drive
๐๏ธ Delete files and folders
๐ Create new folders
๐ Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)

Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
๐ Quick Start
1. Install from npm (Recommended)
2. Or install from source
โ๏ธ Configuration
Finding your Proton Drive path
The MCP will try to auto-detect your Proton Drive location, but you can also set it manually:
macOS:
~/Library/CloudStorage/ProtonDrive-[email]-folder
Windows:
C:\Users\[username]\Proton Drive
Linux:
~/ProtonDrive
Claude Desktop
Add to your Claude Desktop config:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Cursor
Add to your Cursor settings:
Custom Proton Drive Path
If your Proton Drive is in a non-standard location:
๐ฏ Usage Examples
Once configured, you can ask your AI assistant:
"List all files in my Proton Drive"
"Create a new file called notes.txt with some content"
"Read the contents of Documents/report.pdf"
"Create a new folder called Projects"
"Delete the file old-notes.txt"
๐ ๏ธ Available Tools
The MCP provides these tools:
Tool | Description |
| Verify Proton Drive is accessible |
| List contents of a directory |
| Read file contents |
| Create or overwrite files |
| Remove files or folders |
| Create new directories |
๐งช Testing
Test if the MCP is working:
๐ง Troubleshooting
Proton Drive not found
Make sure Proton Drive desktop app is running
Check if your files are synced
Set
PROTON_DRIVE_PATH
environment variable manually
Permission errors
Ensure the MCP has read/write access to your Proton Drive folder
On macOS, you may need to grant permissions in System Preferences
Tool not showing in Claude/Cursor
Restart your AI client after configuration
Check the logs for any error messages
Verify the path to the MCP is correct
