Tigris MCP Server

Content

The Tigris MCP Server is the official Model Context Protocol server maintained by Tigris Data. It connects AI agents to Tigris — a high-performance, S3-compatible object storage system for multi-cloud and AI workloads — for bucket and object management: listing, creating, and deleting buckets; listing, uploading, and deleting objects; creating folders and files; and generating shareable links.

It ships as the npm package @tigrisdata/tigris-mcp-server (v1.14.0, MIT), runs over stdio via npx (or Docker, which the project recommends for better sandboxing), and authenticates with S3-style access keys (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID / AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY) against the Tigris endpoint (AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3). Setup details live in the repository README.

Source Review

The following real repository and package sources were fetched and reviewed for this entry:

• README.md — the npx/Docker install commands, the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID/AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY/AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3 env vars, the client config blocks, and the bucket/object capabilities (list, create, delete, upload, create folder/file, shareable link).
• npm: @tigrisdata/tigris-mcp-server — package name and version (1.14.0), MIT license, and the tigris-mcp-server bin entry.
• LICENSE — MIT License.

Repository facts confirmed at review time: official tigrisdata organization, repository tigrisdata/tigris-mcp-server, default branch main, not archived, and released as @tigrisdata/tigris-mcp-server v1.14.0 on npm.

Features

• Bucket management — list buckets, create a new bucket, and delete a bucket.
• Object listing — list the objects in a bucket.
• Uploads — upload a local file to a bucket by path.
• Folders & files — create a folder in a bucket and create a file with inline content.
• Deletion — delete an object from a bucket.
• Shareable links — generate a link to share an object.
• S3-compatible — works against Tigris's S3 API, so standard S3 tools and libraries apply.
• npx or Docker — run via npx or a Docker image (recommended by Tigris for better sandboxing).
• S3-key auth — authenticates with AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID / AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY over HTTPS.

Installation

Run the published package with npx, providing your Tigris S3 credentials and endpoint:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your_access_key_id"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your_secret_access_key"
export AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3="https://fly.storage.tigris.dev"
npx -y @tigrisdata/tigris-mcp-server run

Add it to an MCP client (e.g. Cursor / Claude Desktop):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tigris-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@tigrisdata/tigris-mcp-server", "run"],
      "env": {
        "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID",
        "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY",
        "AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3": "https://fly.storage.tigris.dev"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get an access key from the Tigris console. Tigris also offers a Docker-based setup, which it recommends over npx for better sandboxing, and a hosted MCP server with OAuth support.

Use Cases

• Conversational storage management — list, create, and delete buckets and objects in natural language.
• Uploading assets — push local files (models, datasets, backups, logs) to a Tigris bucket from an agent workflow.
• Content authoring — create folders and files with inline content directly in a bucket.
• Sharing — generate a shareable link to an object.
• S3 workflows — use Tigris's S3-compatible API within AI editor workflows.

Safety and Privacy

• Destructive operations. The server can delete buckets and objects, permanently removing data from your storage.
• Reads local files. The upload tool reads a local file path and copies it to remote storage; Tigris recommends the Docker runtime over npx for better sandboxing.
• Shareable links expose data. Generating a link produces a URL that grants access to an object — share it carefully.
• Keys are broad. The S3 access key and secret grant access to your Tigris storage; scope the key and treat credentials as secrets.
• Data flows to the model. Object listings, contents, and metadata are returned to the LLM/MCP client and can include sensitive stored data.

Duplicate Check

No existing entry in the directory matches this server. A search of all directory entries for "tigris" across slugs, titles, repository URLs, and install commands returned no results, and there is no prior entry pointing at github.com/tigrisdata/tigris-mcp-server or the npm package @tigrisdata/tigris-mcp-server. This is therefore a net-new, non-duplicate entry.
