### Description (declared)

# synology-search-agent

English | [日本語](https://github.com/umayado17/synology-search-agent/blob/main/README.ja.md)

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.umayado17/nas-search-mcp -->

**Let AI agents search your Synology NAS.** An MCP server and CLI that searches the **existing Universal Search index** (file names and full text) of a Synology NAS over SSH and returns JSON.

- **MCP server or CLI.** `nas-search-mcp` offers `search` and `status` as MCP tools for MCP apps; `nas-search` is the same search as a command.
- **No sudo, no root.** It runs as a normal DSM user.
- **Two-factor authentication (OTP) stays on.** It never turns it off.
- **Read-only.** It never changes files, the index or shared folders.
- Runs on the Python 3.8+ standard library only (no extra packages).

![Demo: asked in English for the files of the "Kamome project", an AI agent searches with nas-search for the Japanese name, and lists five files newest first, three of them matched by their text (fictional data)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/umayado17/synology-search-agent/main/docs/images/demo-en.gif)

> [!WARNING]
> This tool uses a Web API that Synology does not publish (`SYNO.Finder.FileIndexing.Search`). A DSM update may break it without notice. This is an unofficial tool and is not affiliated with Synology. Synology, DSM and Universal Search are trademarks of Synology Inc.

> [!NOTE]
> Messages printed by the commands are in Japanese by default; set `lang = en` (or `UNISEARCH_LANG=en`) for English (see [Settings files](#settings-files)). The detailed documents under `docs/` are in Japanese, but their commands can be used as they are. Agents should rely on the JSON fields (`error.type`) and exit codes, which are stable and documented below.

## Use it as an MCP server

On the machine where the AI agent runs (macOS or Linux, Python 3.8+), install the package from PyPI, or run it without installing through [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/):

```bash
pipx install nas-search-mcp      # installs nas-se…
