Can AI agents automate Files.com?
Files.com · saas · documentsenterprise
Files.com is automatable today through its REST API. Requests go to https://SUBDOMAIN.files.com/api/rest/v1/. The recommended credential is an API key, sent as X-FilesAPI-Key or as the username in HTTP Basic authentication. A session is created with POST /sessions and a username and password, then sent as X-FilesAPI-Auth. User-scoped keys follow that user's permissions. Files.com publishes official SDKs for Python, .NET, JavaScript, Java, Go, PHP, and Ruby, plus a CLI for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The developer hub says to start with the CLI or an SDK because they handle pagination and transfers. Files.com also documents a hosted Remote MCP server at https://SUBDOMAIN.files.com/api/ai/mcp/v1/ and a local Python package, files-com-mcp. Remote auth is Sign In with Files.com, which is OAuth 2.0, or the same API key header. The docs say the current MCP tool set is limited. Starter pricing is $199 per month, with a 7-day free trial. The pricing page lists inbound webhook triggers. Zapier and Power Automate are named on the developer hub. Make and n8n were not assessed. Computer-use viability is unassessed. API scores 7. CLI scores 6. MCP scores 6. API is the best path because an API key calls the REST reference directly.
