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.

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.

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

Uploadcare 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 Uploadcare 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. 10 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 Uploadcare, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Uploadcare. 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 Uploadcare owners hand off.

This MCP is built for technical teams who need to interact with media assets without leaving their development environment.

  • 01

    Software Engineers

    They use the agent to debug upload issues and grab CDN URLs for code.

  • 02

    Content Managers

    They use natural language to clean up assets and organize file groups.

  • 03

    DevOps Teams

    They monitor storage quotas and automate file transfers to external buckets.

FAQ

Questions Uploadcare owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my Uploadcare account?

    You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your Uploadcare Public and Secret Keys. Once connected, it is ready to use in any compatible client.

  • 02

    Can I undo a file deletion?

    No. The batch delete and single file delete capabilities perform permanent removals that cannot be reversed.

  • 03

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

    You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 04

    Can the agent move files to S3?

    Yes. You can use the copy file capability to move assets to remote storage targets.

  • 05

    Does this MCP help with cost management?

    Yes. You can use the project info capability to check your current storage and bandwidth usage in real time.

  • 06

    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 capability to permanently erase them from the CDN instantly, freeing up your project's storage.

  • 07

    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.

  • 08

    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 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.
