minio-mcp-server

An MCP server exposing MinIO/S3 object storage operations as tools for LLM agents.

Tools

• list_buckets — list all buckets

• list_objects(bucket, prefix, recursive) — list objects in a bucket

• get_object(bucket, name) — read a text object's content

• put_object(bucket, name, content) — write text content to an object

• make_bucket(bucket) — create a bucket if it doesn't exist

• remove_object(bucket, name) — delete an object

• presigned_url(bucket, name, expires_seconds) — generate a presigned GET URL

Setup

1. Create a virtual environment and install dependencies:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your MinIO credentials:

   cp .env.example .env

   Variable	Description
   MINIO_ENDPOINT	Host and port of your MinIO server, e.g. localhost:9000
   MINIO_ACCESS_KEY	MinIO access key
   MINIO_SECRET_KEY	MinIO secret key
   MINIO_SECURE	true to use HTTPS, false for HTTP

3. Run the server:

   mcp dev server.py

Security

.env is gitignored and must never be committed — it contains live credentials. Use dedicated, least-privilege MinIO credentials for this server rather than the root/admin account.
