Connect Filebase (Web3 Storage) MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect Filebase (Web3 Storage) to Cline and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Cline executes decentralized file uploads
Cline uses `rpc_add` to push files to IPFS and `rpc_pin_add` to ensure they stay there. It does the heavy lifting while you focus on the application logic. You can tell the agent to build a file and pin it in one go. It handles the entire lifecycle from creation to persistence.
Cline automates IPNS updates
Use `platform_update_name` to point your IPNS records to new CIDs automatically. Cline manages the sequence so your decentralized content stays updated. It removes the manual step of resolving paths. The agent reads the current state and pushes the update when the code changes.
Direct resource tracking for Cline
Cline queries `platform_get_gateway_usage` to see how much traffic your gateways handle. It provides the data you need to optimize your storage costs. You don't need to leave VS Code to see your metrics. The agent brings the platform stats directly into your chat history.
