Local MCP Server

note

Please prefer using the Remote MCP server whenever possible. Using the local MCP server employs a significantly different threat model than the remote MCP server. Please consult with your local systems administrator if you need a better understanding of the risks involved.

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.

Features

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:

Buckets

• List my tigris buckets
• Create a new tigris bucket and call it my-bucket
• Delete my tigris bucket called my-bucket

Objects

• List my objects in bucket my-bucket
• Upload /Users/ME/tigris-mcp-server/myfile.txt to my-bucket
• Create a folder named test in my-bucket
• Create a file test.txt with content Hello World in my-bucket
• Give me a link to share for test.txt
• Delete myfile.txt from my-bucket
