Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the 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.
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.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Filebase API Key and Platform Token
- Start managing your Web3 assets from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Web3 Developers — interact with IPFS and IPNS directly from your coding environment without switching to CLI or web dashboards.
- DevOps Engineers — automate pinning and storage monitoring as part of your infrastructure workflows.
- Content Creators — manage decentralized assets and metadata for NFTs or dApps using simple natural language commands.

Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers Filebase (Web3 Storage) as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 29 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Filebase (Web3 Storage) data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart - —
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
- —
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Filebase (Web3 Storage) tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
- —
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

Frequently asked questions
How do I pin a specific CID to ensure it stays on the network?
You can use the rpc_pin_add tool by providing the CID. This ensures the content is persistently stored on Filebase's IPFS infrastructure.
Can I check my current storage usage and limits?
Yes! Use the platform_get_usage tool. It will return your total storage used, bandwidth metrics, and current subscription limits.
How do I publish a CID to a mutable IPNS name?
Use the rpc_name_publish tool with the target CID. This maps your content to an IPNS address that stays the same even when the content updates.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
