Teckel Ipfs Mcp Toolkit

What is Teckel Ipfs Mcp Toolkit?

This MCP server provides an interface to the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) through the teckel platform. It allows AI assistants to list, upload, retrieve, pin, unpin, and remove IPFS files using natural language prompts. The server requires a teckel account and API key from the teckel mobile app.

How to use Teckel Ipfs Mcp Toolkit?

First, download the teckel App from the App Store or Google Play and create an account. Generate an API key in the app’s Account settings. Then configure your MCP client (e.g., Cursor) with the server URL https://mcp-servers.bh.tkllabs.io:9780/ipfs-mcp and an Authorization header set to Bearer YOUR_API_KEY. Optionally, use ipfs-sse for legacy SSE protocol. Clients send natural language prompts which the server maps to IPFS tool calls.

FAQ from Teckel Ipfs Mcp Toolkit

How is Teckel Ipfs Mcp Toolkit priced?

Usage is billed via teckel credits purchased within the teckel App. See https://teckel.io/pricing/ for current rates.

Does Teckel Ipfs Mcp Toolkit have rate limits?

Yes, all MCP/API calls are rate‑limited per API key. Exceeding the limit returns a 429 error; exact thresholds are not disclosed.

Is my data encrypted when using Teckel Ipfs Mcp Toolkit?

Teckel can encrypt files using your API key, but this is not end‑to‑end encryption because the key is known to teckel servers. For full private control, encrypt files offline before uploading.

Can I use the same files from both the teckel App and this server?

Yes, the IPFS toolkit is fully compatible with the teckel App. Files uploaded via either method are accessible from both.

What happens if my API key is compromised?

You can generate a new key in the teckel App to disable the old one. However, any IPFS content previously encrypted with the old key will become irretrievable.
