What is AIStor MCP Server?
The AIStor MCP server acts as a bridge between AIStor (or MinIO) object storage and Large Language Models (LLMs) via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides a standardized way for LLMs to access and manipulate data stored in object storage, enabling AI-powered applications to leverage stored data.
How to use AIStor MCP Server?
To use the AIStor MCP server, you need to configure it within an MCP-enabled client like Claude for Desktop. This involves specifying the server's command (Docker or Podman), arguments (including AIStor/MinIO credentials and endpoint), and allowed directories. Once configured, you can interact with the server through natural language commands within the client.
