# Aliyun OSS MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Aliyun OSS MCP lets you manage your China-based object storage through your AI agent. You can upload files, audit metadata, and manage bucket permissions without opening the Aliyun Console. It handles everything from listing objects with prefixes to checking bucket statistics in real-time. ## Overview - **Category:** industry-titans - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_VkDbGkQN0L5m5NbqCHANLu13YMG7hO27ATuMga5x/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** object-storage, file-management, metadata-auditing, cloud-infrastructure, bucket-management, data-archiving ## Description This Aliyun OSS MCP gives your AI agent direct access to China's most popular object storage service. Instead of jumping between tabs or hunting through the Aliyun Console to find a specific file or check a bucket's status, you just tell your agent what to do. It handles the heavy lifting of interacting with the storage layer, whether you're moving assets, auditing headers, or checking storage limits. You'll find it's a lot faster to say 'show me all files in the images folder' than to manually navigate a complex web interface. You don't have to worry about the nuances of API calls or complex console menus. The agent understands the context of your request and executes the commands accurately. Because Vinkius hosts this Connector, you can connect it to your existing workflow and let your agent handle the repetitive parts of cloud asset management. It's built for people who need to keep their storage organized and accessible without the friction of traditional cloud management tools. You can verify permissions, list contents with specific prefixes, and grab metadata without ever leaving your chat window. It turns a manual chore into a simple conversation, letting you focus on your actual work while the agent manages the backend details. ## Tools ### copy_object Copies an object to a new location within the same bucket. This makes it easy to reorganize your storage structure. ### delete_object Removes a specific object from your OSS storage. Use this to quickly clean up old files or logs. ### download_object_text Downloads an object's content as plain text. This is ideal for quickly reading JSON or config files. ### get_bucket_acl Retrieves the access control list for your bucket. Use this to verify who has permission to view your data. ### get_bucket_info Fetches the configuration details for a specific bucket. It helps you see the current setup of your storage. ### get_bucket_location Identifies the specific region where your bucket is hosted. This is useful for verifying data residency. ### get_bucket_statistics Pulls storage statistics for your bucket. Use this to monitor your total data usage and limits. ### get_object_metadata Fetches the HTTP headers and custom metadata for any specific object. It helps you audit file tags quickly. ### list_objects Lists objects in the bucket with prefix or marker filtering. This lets you find files in specific folders. ### upload_object Uploads text content to your OSS bucket for files up to 5GB. Use this to push configuration updates. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List all files in my 'backups/' folder. ``` **Response:** ``` I've retrieved the object list for your bucket. I found 12 items under the 'backups/' prefix, including: - backup_v1.json - backup_v2.json - logs_archive.txt Would you like me to get the detailed metadata for any of these files? ``` **Prompt:** ``` What's the public URL for 'config.json'? ``` **Response:** ``` The public URL for your object is: `https://[bucket].[endpoint].aliyuncs.com/config.json`. Note: This URL will only work if the object has been granted 'public-read' permissions in your bucket settings. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Upload this JSON to the 'settings/' folder: {'env': 'prod'} ``` **Response:** ``` I've successfully uploaded the JSON content to your OSS bucket at the key `settings/config.json`. **Status:** - **Action:** Upload - **Key:** `settings/config.json` - **Status:** Success Would you like me to verify the upload by retrieving its metadata? ``` ## Capabilities ### Upload text files to OSS Send text content or JSON files directly to your bucket for storage. ### List bucket contents with prefixes Find specific files by folder path or naming pattern quickly. ### Retrieve object metadata Get all headers and custom tags for any stored file in your bucket. ### Delete specific files Remove unwanted objects from your storage using simple commands. ### Check bucket statistics View your current storage usage and bucket data in real time. ### Copy objects within a bucket Move files to different paths or keys within the same bucket. ### Get bucket locations Confirm exactly which region your bucket is hosted in for compliance. ## Use Cases ### Content Audit A content manager needs to find all files in a specific folder. They ask the agent to list_objects with a prefix and then get_object_metadata for each. ### Config Update A developer wants to update a JSON config. They tell the agent to upload_object with the new text to a specific path. ### Storage Cleanup A DevOps engineer wants to clear out old logs. They ask the agent to delete_object for files matching a specific naming pattern. ### Permission Check A security lead wants to verify bucket access. They ask the agent to get_bucket_acl to ensure only the right teams have entry. ## Benefits - Faster asset management: Use list_objects to find files instantly instead of clicking through nested folders in a web console. - Easier metadata audits: Use get_object_metadata to quickly check headers and custom tags for any stored file. - Simplified storage monitoring: Use get_bucket_statistics to keep an eye on your storage limits without manual calculations. - Streamlined file updates: Use upload_object to push configuration changes or text files directly to your bucket. - Better permission oversight: Use get_bucket_acl to verify who has access to your data in a single command. - Quick region verification: Use get_bucket_location to confirm exactly where your data is stored for compliance or performance. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a chat-based interface for managing your entire Aliyun OSS storage footprint. 1. Subscribe to the Aliyun OSS MCP in the Vinkius catalog. 2. Provide your Aliyun AccessKey ID, AccessKey Secret, Endpoint, and Bucket Name. 3. Ask your AI client to list files, upload content, or check bucket info. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can I use Aliyun OSS to manage my files in China?** Yes, this Connector connects your AI agent to China's leading object storage service, allowing you to manage files, buckets, and metadata through natural language. **How do I connect Aliyun OSS to my AI agent?** Once you subscribe to the Connector on Vinkius, you just need to provide your Aliyun AccessKey ID, Secret, Endpoint, and Bucket Name to your AI client. **Can Aliyun OSS help me audit my file permissions?** Yes, you can ask your agent to retrieve the access control list for any bucket to see who has permissions to view or edit your data. **Does Aliyun OSS support large file uploads?** The upload tool supports files up to 5GB in size, specifically designed for text content and configuration files. **How do I find out where my bucket is located?** You can simply ask your agent to check the bucket location, and it will return the specific region, such as oss-cn-hangzhou. **Can I use this to move files between folders?** Yes, you can use the copy tool to move objects to different paths within the same bucket, helping you reorganize your storage easily. **How do I find my Aliyun AccessKey and Endpoint?** Log in to the [Aliyun Console](https://oss.console.aliyun.com/), navigate to [AccessKey Management] to find your ID and Secret. Your Endpoint (e.g., `oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com`) is visible in the bucket overview section. **What file types can I upload through the agent?** This Connector is optimized for text-based content and metadata management. For large binary files (images, videos), it is recommended to use the public URL or native Aliyun tools for the actual transfer, while using the agent to manage metadata and listing. **Does this server handle signature calculation?** Yes! The server automatically calculates the required HMAC-SHA1 signature for every request using your provided AccessKey Secret, ensuring secure authorized communication with Aliyun OSS.
