About Backblaze B2 MCP Server
Connect your Backblaze B2 account to any AI agent and manage your cloud storage architecture directly through natural conversation.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including Backblaze B2 tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
O que você pode fazer
- Buckets — Create, delete, update privacy (allPrivate/allPublic), and list globally mapped storage buckets
- File Management — Hide files (soft delete), remove explicit file versions (hard delete), and list surface names
- Health Validation — List unfinished large file chunks to find failed multipart uploads
- File Intelligence — Retrieve granular file details, sizes, hashes (SHA1), and content types natively
Como funciona
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Backblaze B2 Application Key ID and Key
3. Start architecting storage and debugging files from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Your AI agent now has the power to orchestrate secure and cost-effective object storage without leaving your editor.
Para quem é?
- DevOps Engineers — rapidly verify bucket states, clean up abandoned file versions, and debug failed multipart streams
- Backend Developers — create public and private storage domains directly from development spaces
- System Administrators — audit object footprint securely and perform granular file integrity checks

Why Use Cline with the Backblaze B2 MCP Server
Cline provides unique advantages when paired with Backblaze B2 through the Model Context Protocol.
Cline operates autonomously. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including MCP tool calls without step-by-step prompts
Runs inside VS Code, so you get MCP tool access alongside your existing extensions, terminal, and version control in a single window
Cline can create, edit, and delete files based on MCP tool responses, enabling end-to-end automation from data retrieval to code generation
Transparent execution: every tool call and file change is shown in Cline's activity log for full visibility and approval before committing
Backblaze B2 + Cline Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Cline combined with the Backblaze B2 MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Autonomous feature building: tell Cline to fetch data from Backblaze B2 and scaffold a complete module with types, handlers, and tests
Codebase refactoring: use Backblaze B2 tools to validate live data while Cline restructures your code to match updated schemas
Automated testing: Cline fetches real responses from Backblaze B2 and generates snapshot tests or mocks based on actual payloads
Incident response: query Backblaze B2 for real-time status and let Cline generate hotfix patches based on the findings
Backblaze B2 MCP Tools for Cline (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Backblaze B2 to Cline via MCP:
authorize_account
Uncovers the dynamically assigned apiUrl (e.g. api003.backblazeb2.com) natively orchestrating regional data ingress specifically assigned to your billing account. Verify and extract Backblaze global session routing endpoints
create_bucket
Bootstraps essential structures before assigning automated backup syncs overriding file lock retention bounds. Provision a fresh logical Storage Bucket partition
delete_bucket
Fails intentionally via 400 Bad Request if standard files or hidden object versions persist nested inside. Ensure all lifecycle rules completed purging prior to command. Irreversibly delete an entirely empty Backblaze Storage Bucket
delete_file_version
Instantly removes the storage footprint avoiding long-term retention hoarding. Irreversibly vaporize specific absolute chunk data from disk arrays
get_file_info
Obtain granular checksum and headers associated with one precise B2 File
hide_file
Does not actually delete binary payload, merely injects a null-marker shadowing the actual file ensuring b2_list_file_names ignores it, enforcing safe soft deletion logic. Mark an active B2 file as hidden leaving data for lifecycle sweep
list_buckets
Crucial to resolve immutable String Bucket IDs prerequisite to executing downstream CRUD operations strictly inside native borders. Retrieve the exact Storage Buckets existing globally on the B2 Account
list_file_names
Examines precise .pdf, .mp4 file locations avoiding hidden shadowed states produced by lifecycle overwrite semantics. Paginate primary surface-level object metadata from a specific Bucket
list_unfinished_large_files
Crucial for verifying broken API pipelines originating from external S3 clients failing CompleteMultipartUpload. Scan B2 nodes for stalled Multipart Upload chunk aggregates
update_bucket
Use only for static asset endpoints. Mutate global ACL privacy settings for a bounded Bucket
Example Prompts for Backblaze B2 in Cline
