Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

A futuristic MCP client docking bay
V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Automated Pinning

An agent can automatically pin new CIDs as soon as they are generated during a build process.

02

Decentralized Site Updates

You can update an IPNS name to point to a new CID to refresh a website's content.

03

Storage Auditing

Ask your agent for a quick report on bucket usage or gateway bandwidth to avoid overages.

04

Rapid Prototyping

Quickly upload text files or raw blocks to IPFS to test dApp logic.

Automate a task

Put Filebase to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Filebase works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Filebase to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 29 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Filebase, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Filebase. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Filebase owners hand off.

This MCP is built for technical users working within the Web3 ecosystem who want to move faster.

  • 01

    Web3 Developers

    They hand off IPFS and IPNS management tasks to the agent to avoid using the CLI.

  • 02

    DevOps Engineers

    They use the agent to automate storage monitoring and pinning workflows.

  • 03

    Content Creators

    They manage NFT metadata and dApp assets through simple text commands.

FAQ

Questions Filebase owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect this MCP to my AI client?

    You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius, enter your Filebase credentials, and then connect your client like Claude or Cursor with one click.

  • 02

    What credentials do I need?

    You will need your Filebase API Key and your Platform Token to authenticate the connection.

  • 03

    Can I manage IPNS names with this?

    Yes, you can create, list, update, and delete IPNS names, as well as resolve them to IPFS paths.

  • 04

    Does this support dedicated gateways?

    Yes, you can create, list, update, and delete dedicated gateways, and even monitor their specific bandwidth usage.

  • 05

    Can I check my storage limits?

    Yes, you can use the capability to check storage usage for specific buckets or get your total platform usage.

  • 06

    How do I pin a specific CID to ensure it stays on the network?

    You can use the rpc_pin_add capability by providing the CID. This ensures the content is persistently stored on Filebase's IPFS infrastructure.

  • 07

    Can I check my current storage usage and limits?

    Yes! Use the platform_get_usage capability. It will return your total storage used, bandwidth metrics, and current subscription limits.

  • 08

    How do I publish a CID to a mutable IPNS name?

    Use the rpc_name_publish capability with the target CID. This maps your content to an IPNS address that stays the same even when the content updates.
