What is MinIO Model-Context Protocol (MCP)?

The MinIO Model-Context Protocol (MCP) is a server and client implementation that provides a standardized way to interact with MinIO object storage. It exposes MinIO data through Resources and offers tools for listing buckets, listing objects, getting objects, and putting objects.

How to use MinIO Model-Context Protocol (MCP)?

To use the server, clone the repository, install dependencies, configure environment variables, and run the server script. Clients can then interact with the server using provided client implementations (Basic or Anthropic). The Anthropic client can be integrated with Claude Desktop by configuring the claude_desktop_config.json file.

Key features of MinIO Model-Context Protocol (MCP)

  • Exposes MinIO data through Resources (text files, binary files, bucket contents)

  • Provides tools for listing buckets and objects, retrieving objects, and uploading objects

  • Includes a basic client for direct interaction with the MinIO MCP server

  • Offers an Anthropic client for AI-powered interactions with MinIO using Claude models

Use cases of MinIO Model-Context Protocol (MCP)

  • Integrating MinIO object storage with AI models for data analysis and retrieval

  • Providing a standardized interface for accessing and managing MinIO data

  • Building AI assistants that can understand and interact with data stored in MinIO

  • Automating data management tasks in MinIO using the MCP tools

FAQ from MinIO Model-Context Protocol (MCP)

What types of files can the server access?

The server can access text files (automatically detected based on extension) and binary files (handled as application/octet-stream).

How many objects can ListObjects return?

ListObjects can return up to 1,000 objects per request.

What parameters are required for GetObject?

GetObject requires bucket_name and object_name parameters.

How do I configure the Anthropic client?

Configure the servers in src/client/servers_config.json with the path to the MinIO MCP server.

How can I debug the MCP server?

Use the MCP Inspector: npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector python path/to/minio-mcp/src/minio_mcp_server/server.py.
