MCP’s File Uploads Working Group has drafted an optional extension for transferring files between clients, servers, and external services. The specification remains experimental, has no reference implementation, and is being tested before third-party integrations and finalization.

The draft gives MCP implementers a concrete direction for replacing bespoke file-transfer conventions while clearly identifying unresolved design and integration work.
