SFTP MCP server: ask questions, get governed answers
SFTP is a secure file transfer method through which companies exchange scheduled data files, such as order exports, inventory feeds, invoices and reports.
Try it on your own data in a pilot.
SFTP AI analytics: what you can ask
Typical questions from operations, finance, IT. Each answer shows the definition, source and query behind it.
- What were total sales by day in the latest export?
- List files received in the last 7 days by partner
- Which inventory items are below minimum in the latest feed?
- Compare this week's order totals to last week
- How many invoice lines were exported this month?
How Nexatron connects to SFTP
- Whose permissions
- Your administrator approves the access the SFTP connection uses. Where SFTP supports per-user sign-in, answers run under each person's own access, and Nexatron roles decide who in your company can ask.
- Read and write
- Questions are read-only: asking never changes SFTP data.
- Setup
- Our team sets up the SFTP connection with your administrator during the pilot. No data migration and no pipeline to build: data is queried where it lives.
SFTP MCP connector for Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot
Nexatron's hosted MCP server is a governed SFTP MCP connector: Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot ask questions of your SFTP data through it. Each person signs in as themselves, so the assistant sees only what they may see.
Connect SFTP to Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot
- Connect SFTP to your Nexatron workspace.
- In Claude, add Nexatron from Claude's connector directory. In ChatGPT or Copilot, add a custom MCP connector with the server URL
https://api.nexatron.io/api/v1/mcp. - Sign in with your own Nexatron identity (OAuth 2.1), then ask your SFTP questions.
SFTP connector FAQ
- Can I ask SFTP questions without writing queries?
- Yes. Ask in Teams, Slack, the Nexatron web app, or an AI assistant connected through Nexatron's MCP server.
- Does Nexatron respect SFTP permissions?
- Yes. Where SFTP supports per-user sign-in, answers run under each person's own access.
- Can Nexatron change data in SFTP?
- No. Asking a question never changes SFTP data.
- What do I need to connect SFTP?
- An administrator who can approve the connection. Our team sets it up with them during the pilot.
- Is there a SFTP MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot?
- Yes: Nexatron's hosted MCP server, once SFTP is connected to your workspace. It is Nexatron's server, not one published by SFTP, and the assistant gets the same governed answer as the Nexatron app.
Try Nexatron on your own SFTP data
A pilot starts with three questions your team already asks and the report you trust for each, so you can check the answers yourself.
