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.

Key features of AIStor MCP Server

  • Read operations: List buckets, list objects, get metadata, create presigned URLs

  • AI operations: Describe object contents using the ask-object function

  • Write operations: Create buckets, upload objects, add tags (requires --allow-write flag)

  • Delete operations: Delete objects and buckets (requires --allow-delete flag)

  • Admin operations: Get cluster info, health status, and available space (requires --allow-admin flag)

Use cases of AIStor MCP Server

  • Enabling LLMs to understand and process data stored in object storage

  • Building AI-powered applications that leverage object storage for data persistence

  • Automating data management tasks through natural language commands

  • Providing a secure and controlled way for LLMs to access sensitive data
