Sample TOS Model Context Protocol Server

What is Sample TOS Model Context Protocol Server?

Sample TOS Model Context Protocol Server is an MCP server from Volcano Engine that provides powerful query capabilities for TOS (Tinder Object Storage). It allows users to explore and retrieve content stored in TOS using natural language, improving the efficiency of data access. It can be combined with other Volcano Engine cloud product MCP servers to build intelligent business applications.

How to use Sample TOS Model Context Protocol Server?

Install Python 3.10 or higher and uv. Configure environment variables for Volcano Engine credentials (access key, secret key, region, endpoint, optional security token and bucket). Then run the server via uv or uvx. Add the server configuration to your MCP settings file.

Key features of Sample TOS Model Context Protocol Server

• List all buckets under the Volcano Engine TOS account.
• List objects (up to 1000) in a specified bucket with optional prefix and pagination.
• Retrieve object content: text objects return content directly, binary objects (images, videos) return Base64 encoded data.
• Uses natural language prompts to invoke tools.
• Supports official Volcano Engine authentication via environment variables.

Use cases of Sample TOS Model Context Protocol Server

• Querying and browsing storage buckets and objects through conversational AI interfaces.
• Reading text files (e.g., CSV, logs) stored in TOS without manual API calls.
• Retrieving images or videos as Base64 data for further processing by AI models.
• Integrating with other Volcano Engine MCP servers for intelligent data workflows.

FAQ from Sample TOS Model Context Protocol Server
