Tools That Don't Upload — MCP Server
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Tools That Don't Upload. Gives your AI assistant access to 500+ free tools that process data without uploading files to a server.
PDF operations, hashing, encoding, CSV/JSON/XML manipulation, text processing, color conversion, date calculations, network lookups, and more.

How It Works
This package is a thin MCP client that forwards requests to the public API at https://toolsthatdontupload.com/mcp. The actual tools run on Cloudflare Workers.
Three meta-tools are exposed:
Tool | Description |
| Search 500+ tools by keyword. Returns names, descriptions, parameters, and example arguments. |
| Run any tool by name with arguments. |
| Browse tool categories with counts. |
Your AI assistant calls search_tools to find the right tool, then run_tool to execute it.

Privacy
File-processing tools (PDF, images, etc.) run in your browser or on edge workers. Files are processed in memory and never stored.
Network tools (dns_lookup, whois, etc.) send only the queried hostname to public DNS/WHOIS services.
No tracking. No analytics cookies. Minimal server logs (timestamp, tool name, status code). No file content is logged.
