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.

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.
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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
