store_blob

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:140-151 (handler)

  MCP tool handler for 'store_blob': parses arguments using StoreBlobSchema and delegates to walrusClient.storeBlob, returning JSON stringified result

  case 'store_blob': {
    const { data, epochs = 5 } = StoreBlobSchema.parse(args);
    const result = await walrusClient.storeBlob(data, epochs);
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: 'text',
          text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2),
        },
      ],
    };
  }

• src/index.ts:30-33 (schema)

  Zod input schema for store_blob tool validation

  const StoreBlobSchema = z.object({
    data: z.string().describe('Base64 encoded data or file path to store'),
    epochs: z.number().optional().describe('Number of epochs to store the blob (default: 5)'),
  });

• src/index.ts:56-72 (registration)

  Registration of store_blob tool in the listTools response, including name, description, and input schema

  name: 'store_blob',
  description: 'Store a blob in Walrus decentralized storage',
  inputSchema: {
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
      data: {
        type: 'string',
        description: 'Base64 encoded data or file path to store',
      },
      epochs: {
        type: 'number',
        description: 'Number of epochs to store the blob (default: 5)',
        default: 5,
      },
    },
    required: ['data'],
  },

• src/walrus-client.ts:49-104 (helper)

  Core storeBlob implementation in WalrusClient: handles file paths or base64 data, publishes to Walrus publisher endpoint, parses response into BlobInfo

  async storeBlob(data: string, epochs: number = 5): Promise<BlobInfo> {
    try {
      let blobData: Buffer;
      
      // Check if data is a file path or base64 encoded data
      if (data.startsWith('/') || data.startsWith('./') || data.startsWith('../')) {
        // It's a file path
        blobData = await fs.readFile(data);
      } else {
        // It's base64 encoded data
        blobData = Buffer.from(data, 'base64');
      }
  
      const response = await this.httpClient.put(
        `${this.config.publisherUrl}/v1/store`,
        blobData,
        {
          headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream',
          },
          params: {
            epochs: epochs.toString(),
          },
        }
      );
  
      if (response.data.newlyCreated) {
        return {
          blobId: response.data.newlyCreated.blobObject.blobId,
          size: response.data.newlyCreated.blobObject.size,
          encodedSize: response.data.newlyCreated.blobObject.encodedSize,
          storageId: response.data.newlyCreated.blobObject.id,
          certified: response.data.newlyCreated.resourceObject ? true : false,
          certifiedEpoch: response.data.newlyCreated.resourceObject?.storage?.startEpoch,
          endEpoch: response.data.newlyCreated.resourceObject?.storage?.endEpoch,
        };
      } else if (response.data.alreadyCertified) {
        return {
          blobId: response.data.alreadyCertified.blobId,
          size: 0, // Size not provided for already certified blobs
          encodedSize: 0,
          storageId: response.data.alreadyCertified.blobId,
          certified: true,
          certifiedEpoch: response.data.alreadyCertified.certifiedEpoch,
          endEpoch: response.data.alreadyCertified.endEpoch,
        };
      }
  
      throw new Error('Unexpected response format from Walrus publisher');
    } catch (error) {
      if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) {
        throw new Error(`Failed to store blob: ${error.response?.data?.error || error.message}`);
      }
      throw new Error(`Failed to store blob: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`);
    }
