About Filebase (Web3 Storage) MCP Server

Connect your Filebase account to any AI agent and take full control of your decentralized Web3 storage workflows through natural conversation.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Filebase (Web3 Storage) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 29 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

IPFS Operations — Add text files, fetch content by CID, and manage raw blocks directly on the IPFS network using the RPC API.
Pinning Management — Use the Pinning Service API (PSA) or RPC to pin, list, and remove content identifiers (CIDs) for persistent storage.
IPNS & Keys — Generate keypairs, publish CIDs to IPNS, and resolve names to IPFS paths for mutable decentralized websites.
Usage & Infrastructure — Monitor storage usage, manage dedicated gateways, and track bucket metrics across the platform.

The Filebase (Web3 Storage) MCP Server exposes 29 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Filebase (Web3 Storage) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Filebase (Web3 Storage) MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
