What is the Uploadcare MCP Server?
Connect your Uploadcare account to any AI agent to fully manage your file handling and CDN media infrastructure via natural conversation.
What you can do
- File Management — List uploaded assets, retrieve specific file technical metadata (like dimensions and CDN URLs), and manage permanent storage states.
- Bulk Operations — Efficiently batch store or batch delete multiple temporary or permanent files in a single operation.
- File Transport — Copy existing files manually to local or remote storage targets, directly through your AI agent.
- Groups & Collections — List immutable file collections (groups) and inspect which individual files are contained within them.
- Project Analytics — Retrieve your Uploadcare project-level metadata, checking your current account storage and bandwidth consumption in real time.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Uploadcare Public and Secret Keys
- Start managing your media infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Your AI agent becomes the control center for your media distribution platform.
Who is this for?
- Software Engineers — debug upload issues, quickly retrieve CDN URLs, and inspect file technical metadata without opening the dashboard.
- Content Managers — clean up unused assets, organize file groups, and permanently delete massive batches of files using just natural language.
- DevOps Teams — monitor project storage limits, bandwidth usage, and automate the copying of files to external S3 buckets.
- Product Teams — audit recent user uploads and ensure temporary unneeded files aren't taking up storage quotas.

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Uploadcare becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Uploadcare tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent batch delete unused Uploadcare files?
Yes! Provide your agent with the list of unused UUIDs or ask it to identify temporary incomplete uploads, and simply command it to batch delete these assets. The agent uses the batch_delete_files tool to permanently erase them from the CDN instantly, freeing up your project's storage.
How can I quickly check my current CDN bandwidth and storage usage?
Instead of digging through the web dashboard, ask your AI agent to get project info. It instantly fetches your Uploadcare project-level metadata, returning your precise storage usage (bytes), traffic bandwidth usage, and active file count. Perfect for quick billing audits.
Will my temporary UI uploads expire automatically?
By default, temporary files uploaded via your front-end will be wiped after 24 hours. To prevent this, you can ask your agent to store this file <UUID> or batch store a bunch of UUIDs. The agent communicates with Uploadcare to mark the files as permanently stored, saving them from the garbage collector.
How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
