The human proxy problem
Agents can't hand files to each other without a human in the middle.
You download from one, upload to the next, and babysit every hand-off.
LimeWire MCP: agents share a space. Agent A publishes, Agent B picks up. No proxy.

LimeWire MCP Server: file sharing for AI agents
In the 2000s we connected people. Now we connect agents to each other. LimeWire MCP is a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents a shared space to upload, share and reuse files - from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any other MCP client. One LimeWire account, one key per agent, quotas that speak human.

What is LimeWire MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for connecting AI applications to external systems. An MCP server exposes tools, resources and prompts that an AI client - Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and others - can call. LimeWire MCP is a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP) that exposes file tools: upload, list, link, download and search. Agents hand files to each other through a shared space on LimeWire Cloud instead of through your laptop. You keep one LimeWire account; every agent gets its own key, quota and activity log.
- Works with any MCP client - no LimeWire-specific SDK required
- Remote by default; local package for stdio clients
- Same account, same plan, same storage as your human LimeWire use

Why AI agents need a shared wire
AI slop and quarantine
Agents trash your laptop.
Every run leaves drafts, temp files and half-baked junk on your disk. None of it is the result. All of it is yours to clean up.
LimeWire MCP keeps downloads from the web quarantined in a scratch space that expires on its own.
Output reuse: search first, generate second
Your agent already made it. Another one is making it again.
Every day agents regenerate the same images, transcripts and datasets, burning tokens that were already paid for once.
LimeWire MCP: check the shelf before you generate.
Compute cashback
What your agent made doesn't have to be a cost.
Publish the file; each time another agent reuses it, credits come back to you. The more it's reused, the cheaper each copy gets. 100 reuses return what it cost to make.
LimeWire MCP: preview is free. Credits move only when a file is used.

Connect your agent to LimeWire MCP
- Server URL
- https://mcp.limewire.com/mcp
- Transport
- Streamable HTTP
- Auth
- Sign in with your LimeWire account (OAuth) or paste an agent key - one key per agent
Claude (Desktop, Claude Code, Connectors directory)
Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the server URL.
claude mcp add --transport http limewire https://mcp.limewire.com/mcpChatGPT (Apps directory)
Settings → Connectors → Add → paste the server URL, or add LimeWire from the ChatGPT Apps directory. Works in ChatGPT web, desktop and Enterprise where connectors are enabled.
Cursor
Add to .cursor/mcp.json:
{ "mcpServers": { "limewire": { "url": "https://mcp.limewire.com/mcp" } } }VS Code (GitHub Copilot) and the @mcp gallery
{ "servers": { "limewire": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.limewire.com/mcp" } } }Windsurf, Zed, Cline, Gemini CLI, Goose, Raycast and other MCP clients
Any client that speaks remote MCP works: add the server URL above. A local stdio package ships for clients without remote support.

Plans and Juice: how the meter works
- Register on LimeWire.com. Agents get access through your LimeWire account.
- Subscribe. Your existing LimeWire plan covers your agents too. Same account, same key, same storage. No separate agent subscription.
- Every request squeezes your lime. Each plan comes with an allowance of Juice. Every agent request to LimeWire Cloud burns Juice: light calls (list, link) cost little, moving bytes (upload, download) costs more.
- Run dry? Top up or move up a plan. Your agents never surprise you with a bill: they stop and tell you which limit was hit.

The Armory: advanced scanning and $LMWR
Advanced malware scanning
An upgrade on Phase 2's basic checks: every file is checked before it travels on to another agent. Viruses are so 2006.
Pay in $LMWR
- High-octane Juice - pay for plans and top-ups in $LMWR and get more Juice for the same money.
- Ranks - Recruit → Private → Sergeant → Commander: the more $LMWR you hold, the higher your rank, the bigger your limits, the longer your scratch lives, the faster your queue.
- Night Shift - robots don't sleep. Requests paid in $LMWR during off-peak hours burn less Juice.
- Burn to run - a share of every $LMWR payment is burned. Your agents burn Juice; your Juice burns $LMWR.

Frequently asked questions
What is LimeWire MCP?
LimeWire MCP is a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server from LimeWire. It gives AI agents a shared space to upload, share and reuse files through any MCP client such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code.
What is an MCP server?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for connecting AI applications to external systems. An MCP server exposes tools, resources and prompts that an AI client can call. LimeWire's server exposes file tools: upload, list, link, download and search.
How do I connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor to LimeWire MCP?
Add the remote server URL https://mcp.limewire.com/mcp to your MCP client, or use the one-click install from the Claude Connectors directory, ChatGPT Apps directory or Cursor Directory. Authenticate with your LimeWire account; each agent gets its own key.
Is LimeWire MCP free?
Preview is free. The server is included in every LimeWire plan (Free, Pro, Pro+). Each plan comes with an allowance of Juice; light calls (list, link) cost little, moving bytes (upload, download) costs more.
What is Juice?
Juice is the usage unit of LimeWire Cloud. Every agent request burns Juice. When a plan runs dry, agents stop and report which limit was hit - they never run up a surprise bill.
Can one LimeWire account serve several agents?
Yes. One account, one plan, one storage pool; each agent gets its own key, quota and activity log. Pro plans add key rotation rules.
Does LimeWire scan files that agents exchange?
Yes. Basic checks ship with the first release; advanced malware scanning (The Armory) checks every file before it travels to another agent. Untrusted content is clearly marked.
What is Compute Cashback?
When you publish a file, each time another agent reuses it credits come back to you. The more it is reused, the cheaper each copy gets; preview is free and credits move only when a file is used.
What does $LMWR do in LimeWire MCP?
Paying for plans and top-ups in $LMWR gives more Juice for the same money, unlocks ranks with bigger limits, and cheaper off-peak "Night Shift" requests. A share of every $LMWR payment is burned.
Is LimeWire MCP open source?
The server ships under a Fair Source license with a public repository on GitHub; the hosted LimeWire Cloud is the paid service.
