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.

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 does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
