Aktar tools (12, 6 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
create_short_linkwrite actionMake a short link for an upload from search_uploads with its destination's link shortener, or return the one it already has. Returns the short link and the upload, whose formats then use it. Fails if the destination has no link shortener set up.
create_temporary_linkwrite actionMake a link to a file in a bucket that stops working after a while (a presigned URL), for private buckets or sharing for a limited time. Anyone with the link can download the file until it expires, even from a private bucket, so only make one when the user asks. Nothing in the bucket changes.
delete_uploadwrite actionDelete an upload's file from its bucket and remove it from Aktar's history. Its link stops working. This can't be undone.
get_statusCheck that Aktar is running and connected, and which version and destination it has selected.
get_thumbnailGet a small preview image of an upload from search_uploads (photos, videos, PDFs, documents...), to see what a file looks like without downloading it.
list_bucketList the folders and files right under a folder of a destination's bucket, including files not uploaded with Aktar. Returns nextContinuationToken when there's more.
list_destinationsList the storage destinations set up in Aktar: name, provider, bucket, public link base, whether it's the selected one, and the file types it's used for.
list_watched_foldersList the folders Aktar uploads new files from automatically, with their status and queue, and whether watching is paused.
replace_filewrite actionWrite a new local file over one already uploaded, so its key and link stay the same and everyone who has the link sees the new version. The old contents are gone. Needs Aktar for Mac 0.14.0 or Windows 0.7.0.
search_uploadsSearch Aktar's upload history by file name or key, newest first. Without a query, lists the latest uploads.
upload_clipboardwrite actionUpload the file or image on the user's clipboard and return its link. The file becomes reachable by anyone with the link.
upload_filewrite actionUpload a local file to the user's storage and return its link (plus Markdown and HTML). The file becomes reachable by anyone with the link. If the same file is already there, Aktar returns its existing link (reused: true).

What the publisher says
From the Aktar repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Aktar CLI
Upload files to your own S3, Cloudflare R2 or Backblaze B2 bucket from the terminal, and get the link.
The aktar command talks to the Aktar app on your Mac or Windows PC, so it uses the destinations, keys, path templates and link settings you already set up there. Your storage keys never leave the app.

https://files.example.com/2026/09/7f3c2a91.pngInstall
npm install -g @getaktar/cli
# or
brew install getaktar/tap/aktar-cliOr run it without installing: npx @getaktar/cli upload file.png.
Requires Node.js 18 or later and Aktar for Mac 0.18.0 or Aktar for Windows 0.11.0 or later (earlier versions of the CLI work with Aktar for Mac 0.4.0 and later).
Connect to Aktar
- In Aktar, open Settings > Integrations and turn on Allow local connections.
- Copy the token shown there.
- Run:
aktar loginand paste the token when asked (avoid aktar login --token : other programs can see command lines, and it stays in your shell history). It's checked against Aktar and saved to ~/.config/aktar/cli.json (%APPDATA%\aktar\cli.json on Windows), readable only by you. You can also pipe it in (pbpaste | aktar login) or set AKTARTOKEN (and AKTARPORT if you changed the port) instead.
Usage
aktar upload report.pdf # prints the link
aktar upload *.png -f markdown # one Markdown image per file
aktar upload build.zip -d Builds # pick a destination by name or ID
aktar upload notes.txt --folder docs/2026 # keep the name, upload into a folder
aktar upload IMG_4021.jpg --name cover # upload as cover.jpg
aktar upload log.txt --expires 7 # delete after 7 days
aktar upload --clipboard # the file or image on the clipboard
aktar upload demo.mp4 --qr # the link and a QR code to open it on your phone
aktar upload talk.pdf --short # a short link from the destination's link shortener
aktar upload photo.jpg --json # full details as JSON
aktar status # which Aktar and destination you're connected to
aktar destinations # list destinations (* marks the selected one)
aktar history invoice -n 5 # search recent uploads
aktar replace 0B6C2F8E-3D1A-4C55-9E2B-7A41D0C3E9F1 v2.png # new file, same link
aktar replace docs/guide.pdf guide.pdf -d Docs # replace a key in a destination's bucket
aktar qWithout -d, files go to the destination selected in Aktar's menu bar. Uploads show up in Aktar's history like any other.
--format chooses what's printed: url (default), markdown, html, or custom (your template from Aktar). --expires takes 1, 7, 14 or 30 days and needs Aktar's auto-delete rules on that destination; without it, files are kept.
