ictfax-mcp
A Model Context Protocol server for ICTFax, the open-source fax server built on the ICTCore framework by ICT Innovations.
It lets an AI assistant list fax transmissions and check their status, and — only when you turn writes on — upload a document and send a fax.
Install
npx -y ictfax-mcp # no install
npm install -g ictfax-mcpRequires Node.js 18 or newer.

Read tools are always available:
Write tools appear only when ICTFAXMCPALLOW_WRITE=true:
Safety
The server is read-only by default. Sending a fax dials a real number and can cost money, so ictfaxuploaddocument and ictfaxsendfax are not registered at all unless you set ICTFAXMCPALLOW_WRITE=true.
How it connects
ICTFax runs on ICTCore, which authenticates with a JWT from POST /authenticate (login by email) and reads it back from the Authorization: Bearer header. Sending a fax is a short chain the server handles for you: upload the document (metadata then raw bytes, which ICTFax converts to fax format), create the recipient and a sendfax program, create the transmission and send it.
