Why people use Filebase (Web3 Storage)

Filebase (Web3 Storage) for automated IPFS content management

This Connector removes those steps. You just tell your agent to pin a file or update a name. It handles the RPC calls and API requests, giving you the result in a few seconds.

What Vinkius changes

You get a natural language interface for complex Web3 storage operations.

Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect

Questions about Filebase.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

What can I do with the Filebase (Web3 Storage) MCP?

You can manage IPFS files, handle content pinning, and manage IPNS names. You can also monitor your storage and gateway usage through a natural conversation with your agent.

Can I use this to manage my decentralized website?

Yes. By using IPNS name capabilities, you can point your mutable names to different IPFS paths, making it easy to update your website content without changing the URL.

How do I see my storage usage with Filebase (Web3 Storage) MCP?

Just ask your agent to check your storage usage. It can report on your total account metrics or check the specific usage for individual buckets.

Can I automate my content pinning?

Yes. Your agent can use the Pinning Service API to ensure your content stays accessible on the network without you needing to run manual commands.

Is the Filebase (Web3 Storage) MCP good for Web3 developers?

It is ideal for developers who want to skip the CLI. It lets you perform common Web3 storage tasks like resolving names and pinning content directly from your workspace.

How does this help with my bandwidth limits?

The Connector can list your dedicated gateways and report on their specific bandwidth usage, helping you monitor your traffic and stay within your plan limits.

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.

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.

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.
