quick-share

Zero-install file delivery via SRIFT's local MCP server. Returns a public https://srift.app/d/<token> relay link that any recipient can open in a browser — no SRIFT install, no signup, no session-join UI required on their end. The bytes stream from the sender's machine through the srift.app relay on demand (pass-through, Cache-Control: no-store); nothing is stored on any server, so the link works while the sender's daemon (or process) runs.

Requirements

No credentials. The SRIFT local daemon binds to 127.0.0.1:3822 with zero authentication. Only outbound HTTPS/WSS on port 443 is needed.

Instructions

1. Call the MCP tool srift_quick_share with { filePath: "/absolute/path/to/file" } (single file) or { filePaths: [...] } (up to 500 files/folders). Optional params: bundle (default: true = one .tar.gz link; false = one link per path, created in parallel), bundleName, exclude (string[] for glob patterns to skip), sessionName, maxDownloads, ttlMs, encrypt, password.
2. The tool returns a downloadUrl (e.g. https://srift.app/d/<token>) when bundled, or { links: [], errors: [] } when separate. With encrypt: true (or a password) each link is end-to-end encrypted with AES-256-GCM: the key rides in the #k= URL fragment, is never sent to a server, and the browser decrypts locally. Without it, links are protected by TLS in transit only — use encrypt for anything sensitive.
3. Hand the URL(s) to the recipient. In order of preference, they can run:
   • srift get <url> [<url> ...] (proxy-aware, resumable, decrypts #k= links, supports multiple URLs with --concurrency N)
   • any HTTP client that saves the response under the server-sent file name
   • or just open it in any browser.
4. Keep the sending side running until the recipient has downloaded. From a shell, srift quick-share <file> [<file> ...] --wait blocks until then (--wait-timeout 30m exits with code 3 on timeout); --keep-alive serves until the TTL expires.

Sandboxed and datacenter agents

If the background daemon cannot start (the sandbox forbids local servers, blocks detached spawns or loopback, or the port is taken), srift mcp and srift quick-share host the daemon inside their own process: no local port, outbound HTTPS/WSS on 443 only. The MCP server switches automatically, so this tool keeps working. From a shell, run quick-share in the background (it exits after the download) or with --wait; --foreground forces in-process serving. Blocked UDP never breaks links. Run srift doctor (or the srift_net_diagnose tool) to diagnose connectivity; HTTPS_PROXY/NO_PROXY and NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS are honored.
