Tigris is a high-performance, S3-compatible object storage system designed for multi-cloud and AI workloads. We move your data all around the world based on where it's needed so that downloads are fast and the data is close to your users. You can store anything you want on Tigris (AI models, training data, database backups, request logs, social media uploads, or anything else) with no egress fees.
The Tigris MCP Server implements the MCP specification to create a seamless connection between AI agents and Tigris key features like bucket and object management.
The Tigris MCP server provides your agents context to your Tigris buckets and objects. That allows you to use Tigris in your AI editor workflows.
Here are some example prompts you can try:
- List my tigris buckets
- Create a new tigris bucket and call it
my-bucket
- Delete my tigris bucket called
my-bucket
- List my objects in bucket
my-bucket
- Upload
/Users/ME/tigris-mcp-server/myfile.txt
tomy-bucket
- Create a folder named
test
inmy-bucket
- Create a file
test.txt
with contentHello World
inmy-bucket
- Give me a link to share for
test.txt
- Delete
myfile.txt
frommy-bucket

As Tigris supports the S3 API, you can use the wide range of available S3 tools, libraries, and extensions. You can get AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
from webconsole by following these the steps. Please refer to our Tigris Data documentation for detailed overview.
To get started:
- Sign up for an account at storage.new.
- Get an access key at storage.new/accesskey.
- Copy the
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
andAWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
to a safe place like your password manager. These will not be shown again.
Tigris MCP server can be used both with npx
and docker
. We recommend running with docker
as it provides better sandboxing.
We support installing the Tigris MCP server two ways:
We ]suggest installing and using the MCP server with Docker](https://www.tigrisdata.com/blog/mcp-server/#trust) as it provides much better sandboxing than NPX.
- Running the Tigris MCP server with
docker
requires the Docker Engine to be installed. If you don't have it installed, follow the instructions here. - Running the Tigris MCP server with
npx
requires Node.js to be installed. If you don't have it installed, follow the instructions here.
Click one of these buttons to install the Tigris MCP Server for VS Code or VS Code Insiders.
You can install the Tigris MCP server in Claude Desktop and Cursor by running our install script:
npx -y @tigrisdata/tigris-mcp-server init
If you don't want to use our automatic install script, you can manually install the Tigris MCP server by adding one of these blocks to your MCP client's configuration.
For Claude Desktop, edit one of the following files:
- 🍎 macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- 🪟 Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
To open the right file in Cursor:
- 🍎 macOS:
- Open the Cursor menu in the upper-left hand corner of your screen
- Go to Settings -> Cursor Settings
- Click on the MCP tab
- Click "Add new global MCP server"
- 🪟 Windows:
- Open the File menu
- Go to Preferences -> Cursor Settings
- Click on the MCP tab
- Click "Add new global MCP server"
Then add one of the following blocks to the end of your configuration:
{
"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"
}
}
}
}
Please note that the server will only allow operations within `/User/CURRENT_USER/tigris-mcp-server. This allows for a secure sandboxing environment.
{
"mcpServers": {
"tigris-mcp-server": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"-e",
"AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID",
"-e",
"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY",
"-e",
"AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3",
"-i",
"--rm",
"--mount",
"type=bind,src=/Users/CURRENT_USER/tigris-mcp-server,dst=/Users/CURRENT_USER/tigris-mcp-server",
"quay.io/tigrisdata/tigris-mcp-server:latest"
],
"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"
}
}
}
}
Alternatively, you can use your existing AWS Profiles if you have AWS CLI installed and have your AWS credential configured. You can use the following configuration.
{
"mcpServers": {
"tigris-mcp-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@tigrisdata/tigris-mcp-server", "run"],
"env": {
"USE_AWS_PROFILES": "true",
"AWS_PROFILE": "default",
"AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3": "https://fly.storage.tigris.dev"
}
}
}
}
or via docker
{
"mcpServers": {
"tigris-mcp-server": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-e",
"USE_AWS_PROFILES",
"-e",
"AWS_PROFILE",
"-e",
"AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3",
"-i",
"--rm",
"--mount",
"type=bind,src=/Users/CURRENT_USER/tigris-mcp-server,dst=/Users/CURRENT_USER/tigris-mcp-server",
"quay.io/tigrisdata/tigris-mcp-server:latest"
],
"env": {
"USE_AWS_PROFILES": "true",
"AWS_PROFILE": "default",
"AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3": "https://fly.storage.tigris.dev"
}
}
}
}
