How to Use the Backblaze B2 MCP in Cline

Q: Can you explain how to configure the Backblaze B2 MCP Server in Cline?

Setting the Backblaze B2 MCP Server URL inside your clinemcpsettings.json file configures the connection. Cline then uses this endpoint to run authorizeaccount and resolve your regional Backblaze B2 API routing automatically.

Q: Is soft deletion supported when using the Cline Backblaze B2 integration?

Absolutely, Cline can execute hidefile to place a null-marker over a Backblaze B2 file payload. Shadowing the Backblaze B2 file allows Cline to filter it from standard directory listings while preserving the raw data.

Put Cline to work managing Backblaze B2 buckets and purging dead file versions directly from your VS Code sidebar.

Cline Provisions and Audits Backblaze B2 Storage

Through `list_buckets`, Cline pulls your active Backblaze B2 partitions to verify their configurations directly inside the Cline sidebar. Whenever your local codebase needs a new storage target, the Cline agent runs `create_bucket` to spin up a Backblaze B2 partition immediately.

Inspect B2 Metadata and Versions via Cline MCP Server

Triggering `get_file_info` retrieves precise headers and checksums for any stored Backblaze B2 object within the Cline interface. Our Cline agent matches these Backblaze B2 checksums against your local files to verify that uploads completed without corruption.

Cline Automatically Clears Stalled Multipart Uploads

If you run `list_unfinished_large_files`, Cline locates stalled Backblaze B2 multipart upload chunks left behind by broken pipelines in Cline. Once identified, the Cline agent pinpoints the stalled Backblaze B2 aggregate files to prevent billing surprises.
