Overview

What is 🪐 MCP IPFS Server (storacha.network) 🛰️?

A Node.js server implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for interacting with the storacha.network platform via the w3 command-line interface. It empowers language models and other MCP clients to manage storacha.network spaces, upload/download data, manage delegations, and perform various tasks by wrapping w3 commands.

How to use 🪐 MCP IPFS Server (storacha.network) 🛰️?

Install the @web3-storage/w3cli globally and run w3 login first. Set the W3_LOGIN_EMAIL environment variable to the email used during login. Configure your MCP client to connect using npx (npx -y mcp-ipfs) or Docker (alexbakers/mcp-ipfs) with the required environment variable.

Key features of 🪐 MCP IPFS Server (storacha.network) 🛰️

  • Wraps the w3 CLI for native storacha.network integration
  • Provides MCP tools for authentication, space, and data management
  • Supports delegation creation, listing, and revocation
  • Offers advanced storage operations via w3 can commands
  • Includes account billing, plan, and usage reporting tools

Use cases of 🪐 MCP IPFS Server (storacha.network) 🛰️

  • Upload and download files to/from storacha.network from an AI assistant
  • Manage storage spaces and user delegations programmatically
  • Generate sharing links (w3s.link) for uploaded content
  • Handle keys, tokens, and proofs for decentralized storage workflows

Frequently asked questions

1

What runtime does it require?

Node.js version 22.0.0 or higher, along with the global installation of `@web3-storage/w3cli`.

2

How do I provide filesystem paths when using Docker?

Several `w3` commands require absolute paths. In Docker, mount the host directory with `-v` and use the container path in tool arguments.

3

What authentication is needed?

Users must run `w3 login` manually first and set the `W3_LOGIN_EMAIL` environment variable to the same email for the `w3_login` tool.

4

Which transports or protocols does it use?

The README does not specify transport details beyond being an MCP server that can connect to any MCP-compatible client.

5

What limitations exist?

The `w3_space_create` command must be run manually due to interactive prompts; `w3_up` and related file commands require absolute filesystem paths.
