Save-To-NAS MCP

An MCP server for saving files and folders to a local NAS over NFS. Eliminates repetitive steps when transferring data to NAS storage.

Installation

Via mcpm (recommended)

mcpm install save-to-nas-mcp
mcpm edit save-to-nas --env "NAS_IP=192.168.1.100"
mcpm add save-to-nas --profile your-profile  # Add to a profile

Via npm

npm install -g save-to-nas-mcp

From source

git clone https://github.com/danielrosehill/Save-To-NAS-MCP.git
cd Save-To-NAS-MCP
npm install

Configuration

Configure the MCP server with environment variables:

Variable	Description	Default
NAS_IP	IP address of your NAS	10.0.0.50
NAS_MOUNT_BASE	Local directory for NFS mounts	/mnt/nas
NAS_VOLUME_PREFIX	NAS volume path prefix	/volume1

Claude Code / Claude Desktop

Add to your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "save-to-nas": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "save-to-nas-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "NAS_IP": "192.168.1.100"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or if installed globally:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "save-to-nas": {
      "command": "save-to-nas-mcp",
      "env": {
        "NAS_IP": "192.168.1.100"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tools

save_to_nas

Save a file or folder to a NAS share.

Parameters:

• source (required): Path to the local file or folder
• share (required): Name of the NAS share (e.g., "AI_Art", "Documents")
• destination_subfolder (optional): Subfolder within the share

Example:

Save ~/projects/my-data to the Documents share

list_nas_shares

List available NFS shares on the NAS and show which are mounted.

Parameters:

• filter (optional): Filter shares by name

How It Works

1. Discovery: Queries the NAS via showmount -e to find available NFS exports
2. Mount Detection: Checks if the target share is already mounted locally
3. Smart Mounting: If not mounted, attempts to mount via NFS (requires sudo)
4. Transfer: Copies files/folders to the destination, preserving attributes

Requirements

• Linux with NFS client tools (nfs-common on Ubuntu/Debian)
• Network access to the NAS
• NFS exports configured on your NAS
• Sudo privileges for mounting unmounted shares
