About Backblaze B2 MCP Server
Connect your Backblaze B2 account to any AI agent and manage your cloud storage architecture directly through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Backblaze B2 tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
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
The Backblaze B2 MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Windsurf with the Backblaze B2 MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with Backblaze B2 through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
Backblaze B2 + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the Backblaze B2 MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from Backblaze B2 and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query Backblaze B2 tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from Backblaze B2 and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine Backblaze B2 data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
Backblaze B2 MCP Tools for Windsurf (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Backblaze B2 to Windsurf 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 Windsurf
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Windsurf agent to start working with Backblaze B2 immediately.
"What buckets do we have enabled in Backblaze B2 right now?"
"Create a new private bucket named 'ai-crawler-logs-2026' and make it private."
"Get the file details and SHA1 for the object 'index.html' in the public bucket."
