# Model Context Protocol Server for Apache OpenDAL™
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that provides access to various storage services via [Apache OpenDAL™](https://opendal.apache.org/).
[](https://pypi.org/project/mcp-server-opendal/)
[](https://pypi.org/project/mcp-server-opendal/)

## Features
- Seamless access to multiple storage services including S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage, and more
- List files and directories from storage services
- Read file contents with automatic text/binary detection
- Environment variable based configuration
## Installation
```shell
pip install mcp-server-opendal
```
## Usage with Claude Desktop
Add the following to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"opendal": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"mcp-server-opendal"
],
"env": {
"YOUR_ENV_VAR": "YOUR_ENV_VALUE"
}
}
}
}
```
It requires `uv` to be installed on your machine. Check the [official documentation](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) for installation guides.
## Environment variables
Configure storage services by setting environment variables. Each service requires a prefix and specific configuration options.
For example, to configure an S3 service with alias "mys3":
```
OPENDAL_MYS3_TYPE=s3
OPENDAL_MYS3_BUCKET=mybucket
OPENDAL_MYS3_REGION=us-east-1
OPENDAL_MYS3_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:9000
OPENDAL_MYS3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=myaccesskey
OPENDAL_MYS3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=mysecretkey
```
Then you can use tool like `read` and `list` with `mys3://path/to/file`.
`mcp-server-opendal` will also load from `.env`.
## Development
```shell
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector \
uv run mcp-server-opendal
```

B3.3/5.0
Scored across 3 tools
Disambiguation5/5
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: get_info retrieves metadata, list lists directory contents, and read reads file content. There is no overlap between them.
Naming Consistency4/5
Tools follow a verb_noun pattern (get_info, list, read), but 'list' and 'read' lack a noun component, which is a minor inconsistency. Overall, the naming is predictable.
Tool Count2/5
With only 3 tools, the server covers only read operations, which is too few for a full-featured storage abstraction like OpenDAL. Many essential operations (create, delete, update) are missing.
Completeness2/5
The tool surface is severely incomplete for the stated purpose. It only provides read and listing capabilities, leaving out write, delete, and other management operations required for a storage server.
