Well, there’s always a reformat.

An MTP server is normally something you run on your phone or other
device, as a way for a PC to transfer files over USB without having to
mount the device’s on-board storage as a regular filesystem volume.

Here’s what a quick search for relevant packages uncovered on my Debian
Unstable system:

    ldo@theon:~> apt-cache search mtp | grep -i media
    libmtp-common - Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) common files
    libmtp-dev - Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) development files
    libmtp-doc - Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) library documentation
    libmtp-runtime - Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) runtime tools
    libmtp9 - Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) library
    mtp-tools - Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) library tools
    qtscrob - audioscrobbler submitter for portable media players - Qt frontend
    scrobbler - audioscrobbler submitter for portable media players - console client
    mtpfs - FUSE filesystem for Media Transfer Protocol devices
