Connect Filebase (Web3 Storage) MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Filebase (Web3 Storage) to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Autonomous IPFS data management for Windsurf
Cascade handles your storage tasks by chaining `psa_add_pin` and `rpc_name_publish` calls. You just define the goal and watch the agent navigate the pinning process. The server makes sure your data survives garbage collection. It maps your local workflow to persistent decentralized storage instantly.
Real-time storage monitoring in Windsurf
Keep tabs on your usage through `platform_get_usage` and `platform_get_bucket_usage`. You get exact numbers on your bandwidth and storage footprint without opening a dashboard. Windsurf pulls this telemetry directly into the context window. You'll know exactly when to scale or prune your buckets.
Streamlined gateway control for Windsurf
Provision and update dedicated gateways using `platform_create_gateway` and `platform_update_gateway`. The agent handles the configuration so you don't have to touch the web interface. Managing your public access points happens right inside the MCP server. It's a direct line between your code and your decentralized infrastructure.
