LocalSend MCP Transfer

About

The LocalSend MCP skill empowers Claude to manage high-efficiency P2P file sharing by integrating the LocalSend protocol with advanced discovery mechanisms like NATS and Tailscale. It automates the entire transfer lifecycle—from advertising capabilities and negotiating transport parameters to executing transfers and tuning throughput using a specialized spectral gap heuristic. This skill is ideal for developers needing to move data between distributed nodes or headless environments where traditional GUI-based file sharing is impractical.

Key Features

• Support for headless automation using CLI-based transfer wrappers
• Spectral gap heuristic for intelligent throughput optimization
• 2 GitHub stars
• Automated session negotiation for transport and chunk parameters
• P2P discovery via NATS and Tailscale for cross-subnet connectivity
• Real-time session monitoring and transfer status reporting

Use Cases

• Automating file synchronization between remote servers over Tailscale
• Optimizing large data transfers between local network nodes via MCP
• Building headless P2P transfer pipelines in CI/CD environments
