MCP server for terminal commands, file operations, and process management
Paperless is installed from its publisher's own source and answers where it runs, so this marketplace is not in the path of a single call. There is no address here to send one to, and a panel that pretended otherwise would be showing you an answer we made up. Install it and call it from your own client — the Installation tab has the entry for each one.
What it does
Paperless-NGX over MCP: search, read, upload and tag documents; manage correspondents and types.
Quickstart
# 1 — add it to Claude Code
claude mcp add --scope user paperless-mcp '--' uvx --from pvliesdonk-paperless-mcp paperless-mcp
# 2 — ask your agent for something these tools do
# list_correspondents, get_correspondent, create_correspondent and 46 more
Paperless costs nothing on mcprush: there is no plan to choose here, no cap to set and nothing mcprush can bill you for.
Collected from a public index. Nobody has claimed this account, so nothing here was written by its author — claim it if it is yours.
Where are you running it?
Every route below installs the same thing and ends at the same approval screen. This one runs on your machine: your client starts Paperless as a process under your own user, with your files and your network, so the tool surface below is what it can do to your computer rather than to a server somewhere else. Its scan result is on the Security tab — read the surface before you approve it.
This is a public server: you run it yourself and this marketplace is not in the path. You need uv (docs.astral.sh/uv): uvx comes with it. Claude Code registers it in one command; --scope user makes it available in every project. The '--' is in quotes so that PowerShell passes it on.
claude mcp add --scope user paperless-mcp '--' uvx --from pvliesdonk-paperless-mcp paperless-mcpReconnect, or start a new session, and the tools appear in the model’s tool list.
Nothing is required, but it can take PAPERLESS_MCP_KV_STORE_URL (Persistent-state backend URL shared by every pvl-core subsystem that needs state. `memory://` is in-process and lost on restart; `file:///path` persists on one), PAPERLESS_MCP_TOOLS_ALLOW (Comma-separated explicit tool names this instance exposes; every other tool is hidden from listings and cannot be invoked. Names matching no registered tool are), PAPERLESS_MCP_TOOLS_DENY (Comma-separated explicit tool names hidden from this instance (absent from listings, cannot be invoked). Names matching no registered tool are inert. Mutually e), PAPERLESS_MCP_SERVER_NAME (Rename this server instance; defaults to the project name.), PAPERLESS_MCP_INSTANCE_DESCRIPTION (Concise routing context that distinguishes this deployment's material or responsibility.), PAPERLESS_MCP_INSTRUCTIONS_EXTRA (Deployment-specific behavioral policy added to the generated MCP instructions.), PAPERLESS_MCP_INSTRUCTIONS (Legacy: replaces all generated MCP instructions (deprecated; use _INSTANCE_DESCRIPTION for routing and _INSTRUCTIONS_EXTRA for policy).), FASTMCP_LOG_LEVEL (Log level for FastMCP internals and app loggers (DEBUG / INFO / WARNING / ERROR / CRITICAL). The -v CLI flag overrides to DEBUG.), FASTMCP_ENABLE_RICH_LOGGING (Rich color output for a terminal; false gives one plain or JSON line per record. Off in the container image and the systemd unit, since neither is a terminal an), PAPERLESS_MCP_PAPERLESS_URL (Base URL of the Paperless-NGX REST API, without a trailing slash. The server refuses to start without it.), PAPERLESS_MCP_API_TOKEN (Paperless service-account token used for outbound API requests. The server refuses to start without it.), PAPERLESS_MCP_HTTP_TIMEOUT_SECONDS (Per-request HTTP timeout in seconds.), PAPERLESS_MCP_HTTP_RETRIES (Retries for idempotent requests after network errors or 5xx responses.), PAPERLESS_MCP_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE (Default page size for list tools, from 1 through 100.), PAPERLESS_MCP_PAPERLESS_PUBLIC_URL (Public Paperless UI URL for user-visible links; defaults to PAPERLESS_URL.), PAPERLESS_MCP_BASE_URL (Public base URL of the deployed server, for example `https://mcp.example.com`. Required for OIDC. Also the fallback source of the MCP Apps domain when `app_doma), PAPERLESS_MCP_BEARER_TOKEN (Single shared bearer token; enables bearer auth unless `bearer_tokens_file` is set, which takes precedence.), PAPERLESS_MCP_OIDC_CONFIG_URL (OIDC discovery document URL, for example `https://auth.example.com/.well-known/openid-configuration`.), PAPERLESS_MCP_OIDC_CLIENT_ID (OIDC client identifier registered with the provider.), PAPERLESS_MCP_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET (OIDC client secret registered with the provider.), PAPERLESS_MCP_OIDC_AUDIENCE (Expected `aud` claim; tokens issued for another audience are rejected.), PAPERLESS_MCP_OIDC_REQUIRED_SCOPES (Scopes a caller must present, space- or comma-separated. Defaults to `openid` in oidc-proxy mode.), PAPERLESS_MCP_OIDC_ADVERTISED_SCOPES (Scopes advertised to MCP clients in protected-resource metadata, space- or comma-separated. Overrides the default `openid offline_access`; `oidc_required_scopes), PAPERLESS_MCP_OIDC_JWT_SIGNING_KEY (Signing key for issued tokens; used in oidc-proxy mode only. When unset, the key is derived deterministically from `oidc_client_secret`, so tokens survive a res) if you want to set them.
One config entry your client uses to start the process locally. A local server runs with your file system and your network, which is why it is priced without metering.

- Every tool, no call limit
- No card, and mcprush charges nothing for it
- Source published under MIT
- Runs on your machine — nothing of it reaches our gateway
- Nothing to cap, because mcprush bills nothing
What counts against your monthly calls
| Tool | Unit | Calls used | Out of the allowance |
|---|
Nothing here is billable: mcprush charges nothing to install Paperless or to call it, at any volume.
Two independent axes, because powerful and malicious are different questions. The grade is threat only. The capability level is blast radius, and it is never a penalty on the grade — it is priced as one subtract-only term in the score, where you can see it.
| Term | Level | What it prices | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| capability-exposure | minimal | capability blast radius (minimal) — client exposure if the model is manipulated | −0 |
| verification-discount | source | publisher verification (provenance) — cryptographic build provenance ties the artifact to its source | −0 |
| coverage-honesty | source | inspection depth (source) — how much of the target the scan could see | −0 |
What the scan could actually read
A grade is only as meaningful as its coverage, so the scanner publishes its own depth before it publishes its result.
Tools were statically extracted from the published source (49 recovered), not enumerated from a running server. Tool-poisoning, Unicode-smuggling, capability and toxic-flow analysis ran on this inferred surface, but a mis-parsed registration could be missed or mis-attributed, so tool-derived findings are capped below “confirmed”. To grade the real runtime surface, scan the running server: --command "npx -y <package>".
Capability — what it could do if the model were manipulated
Tags derived from each tool’s schema and the implementation, not from what the tool calls itself. minimal is the level these add up to.

Toxic-flow graph
The lethal trifecta, checked as a graph rather than as a checklist: untrusted input, a sensitive source and an external sink have to meet before there is a path worth worrying about.
The public result for this release does not print the flow graph, so there is nothing to show here. That is not the same as "no paths were found": what the scan did read is above, under coverage.
Supply chain and provenance
This is the first scan of this surface here, so there is nothing yet to compare it against.
Every result on this tab comes from one deterministic pass over the published package — offline, rule by rule, and auditable line by line above. Same methodology version, same bytes, same score.
Release history
Always latest — the install command names no version, so it installs the newest release when it runs; the current release on file is 3.0.0. Pin a release below and the command asks for exactly that one.
No release note was published with this version.
No release note was published with this version.
- The version this listing was on when mcprush began following its releases. The registry was not asked when it shipped, so this row carries no date.
One review per account, from a signed-in account that does not publish this listing. Nothing else is asked — you can say what you think before you install it. Publishers can reply once per review, and a review can be edited or deleted by whoever wrote it.
Any signed-in account that does not publish Paperless can review it, once — before installing it or after. A review from an account that has installed it is marked as one.
Nobody has reviewed this listing. The rating on the card is the mean of the reviews written here and nothing else, so there is no rating until somebody writes the first — which takes a signed-in account that does not publish it, and nothing else.
