How to Set Up and Use AIStor

The AIStor MCP Server is the official MinIO integration that connects AI assistants to AIStor object storage, enabling natural-language management of buckets, objects, and cluster administration. It supports listing and navigating buckets, uploading and downloading files, retrieving presigned URLs, querying AI-powered insights about object content, and monitoring cluster health. Teams running AIStor on-premises or in the cloud can use this server to automate data workflows and query stored assets without writing custom code.

Prerequisites

  • Docker or Podman installed and running on your machine
  • A running AIStor (MinIO) instance with a known endpoint URL
  • AIStor access key and secret key with appropriate permissions
  • An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
1

Obtain AIStor credentials

Log into your AIStor console and create or copy an access key and secret key pair. Note the endpoint URL (e.g., https://play.min.io) and whether SSL is enabled.

2

Pull the AIStor MCP server image

Pull the official container image from the MinIO registry using Podman or Docker.

podman pull quay.io/minio/aistor/mcp-server-aistor:latest
3

Configure Claude Desktop

Add the AIStor MCP server to your Claude Desktop configuration file at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Replace the placeholder values with your actual endpoint and credentials.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aistor": {
      "command": "podman",
      "args": [
        "run", "-i", "--rm",
        "-v", "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Downloads:/Downloads",
        "-e", "MINIO_ENDPOINT=your-aistor-endpoint",
        "-e", "MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=your-access-key",
        "-e", "MINIO_SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key",
        "-e", "MINIO_USE_SSL=true",
        "quay.io/minio/aistor/mcp-server-aistor:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}
4

Enable write and admin operations (optional)

By default the server runs in read-only mode. Pass --allow-write to enable bucket and object creation, --allow-delete for deletion, and --allow-admin for cluster administration functions. Add these flags to the args array after the image name.

"--allow-write", "--allow-delete", "--allow-admin"
5

Restart Claude Desktop and verify

Quit and reopen Claude Desktop. A hammer icon should appear in the chat interface confirming the AIStor tools are loaded. Type 'List my buckets' to confirm connectivity.

        "run", "-i", "--rm",
        "-v", "/Users/yourname/Downloads:/Downloads",
        "-e", "MINIO_ENDPOINT=https://play.min.io",
        "-e", "MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=minioadmin",
        "-e", "MINIO_SECRET_KEY=minioadmin",
        "-e", "MINIO_USE_SSL=true",
        "quay.io/minio/aistor/mcp-server-aistor:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Example natural-language prompts that exercise AIStor MCP tools.

- "List all buckets on my AIStor server"
- "Show me the objects in the bucket named 'reports' with their sizes"
- "Download example.pdf from bucket 'documents' to my Downloads folder"
- "Get a presigned URL for file.csv in bucket 'data' valid for 1 hour"
- "Show the health status and storage usage of the cluster"

Troubleshooting AIStor

Connection refused or endpoint not reachable

Verify the MINIO_ENDPOINT value includes the correct protocol and port (e.g., https://play.min.io:9000). If running AIStor locally, ensure the container network can reach the host using host.docker.internal instead of localhost.

Access denied errors when listing or uploading

The access key must have the appropriate MinIO policy attached. For write operations the --allow-write flag must also be present in the container args. Check the key's permissions in the AIStor console under Identity > Access Keys.

Files downloaded to an unexpected location

The -v mount in the Podman args maps a host directory to /Downloads inside the container. Ensure the path on the left side of the colon matches a directory that exists on your machine and that you have write permission to it.
