git clone https://github.com/anyrxo/proton-drive-mcp.git
cd proton-drive-mcp

⚙️ 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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "proton-drive": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/proton-drive-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to your Cursor settings:

{
  "mcp.servers": {
    "proton-drive": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/proton-drive-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Custom Proton Drive Path

If your Proton Drive is in a non-standard location:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "proton-drive": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/proton-drive-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "PROTON_DRIVE_PATH": "/custom/path/to/ProtonDrive"
      }
    }
  }
}

🎯 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"
