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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
