Connect your AI assistant to our documentation
Ask most AI assistants about CompleteFTP and you will get a confident answer with the wrong menu path in it. Assistants tend to invent dialog names and settings that sound plausible and do not exist.
We run a public MCP server to fix that. Point your assistant at it and it can read our actual documentation before it answers.
https://enterprisedt.com/api/mcpThere is no account, no key and no charge. It is read-only and serves the same pages this website does.
What it can look up
Everything we publish: the Windows user guide, the Linux and command-line guide, the knowledge base of error messages and known problems, the JSS scripting API reference, and the product and pricing pages on this site.
It knows nothing about your own server. It cannot see your configuration, your users or your logs.
The quickest way to try it
You do not have to set anything up at all. The support assistant on this site is already connected to the same documentation. Ask it a question in your browser and it does exactly the same lookups.
Connect your own assistant when you would rather work where you already are, or keep the conversation alongside your other work.
Connecting Claude
Claude supports this in the web app and the desktop app, on the free plan and above. Open Settings, find Connectors, choose to add a custom connector, and paste the URL above. Claude will list the tools it found and ask you to confirm.
Connecting ChatGPT
ChatGPT can connect to custom MCP servers, but at the time of writing it is more restricted than Claude: it is a developer-mode feature on business and enterprise plans, in the web app. If your plan has it, the option lives in your workspace settings under connectors, and takes the same URL.
These menus move. Both companies are changing this part of their products frequently, and the paths above are as at August 2026. If what you see does not match, search their help centre for "MCP" or "custom connector". The URL you need is always the one above.
If you use a coding assistant
Claude Code takes it from the command line:
claude mcp add --transport http completeftp-docs https://enterprisedt.com/api/mcpAny other client that supports a remote HTTP MCP server will work the same way. Add it by URL and you are done.
What to expect
Ask your CompleteFTP question as you normally would. The assistant decides when to consult the documentation, so there is nothing special to say.
It is worth being explicit the first time, so you can watch it look something up: "using the CompleteFTP documentation, how do I set up a trigger that runs a script when a file is uploaded?"
A grounded answer should quote or link our pages, and should tell you when our documentation does not cover something instead of guessing. If you get an answer with no sign it consulted anything, the connection is probably not working.
A different MCP server
CompleteFTP itself also ships an MCP server, and it does something else entirely: it lets an assistant administer your own installation, creating users, changing folders and running commands against your server. It runs on your machine and has a read-only mode.
The two are easy to confuse because both are called an MCP server:
| This page | CompleteFTP's own MCP server | |
|---|---|---|
| Runs | On our website | On your CompleteFTP machine |
| Answers about | Our documentation | Your live configuration |
| Can change anything | No | Yes, unless you use read-only mode |
| Needs CompleteFTP installed | No | Yes, 26.1.0 or later |
Which one you want depends on the question: our documentation, or your own installation.
No. The documentation server is open to anyone, licensed or not, and there is nothing to pay.
Any that support a remote MCP server. We test with Claude. ChatGPT supports it on some plans, and other tools are adding it steadily.
No. It serves published documentation and nothing else. For anything about your own installation you want CompleteFTP's own MCP server, or our support team.
Requests reach our web server and appear in its logs like any other page request. We do not receive the questions you ask your assistant: it requests documentation pages, not your conversation.
No. The documentation is authoritative, but the assistant still decides what to look up and how to summarise it. For anything you need to rely on, please open a support ticket.
Ask something only our documentation would know, such as the exact wording of an error message, and see whether the answer cites a page on this site. If you are comfortable at a command line, this returns the list of tools the server offers:
curl -sS https://enterprisedt.com/api/mcp \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'
