Common questions
Is Artifacta MCP safe?
It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
You need to fill in: ARTIFACTA_API_KEY
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 3 months ago, and the latest version (1.0.5) reached the registry 4 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.
What can I use instead?

Artifacta MCP Server
Official MCP server for Artifacta — an artifact store purpose-built for AI agents. Agents persist run outputs (files, reports, datasets, build results) with session and agent metadata, hand them off across sessions, and share them via expiring download links. Content-hash dedup means re-storing the same bytes is free.
Listed in the official MCP registry as io.artifacta/mcp.
Two implementations with the same tool surface, error contract, and path-confinement engine:
| Directory | Package | Runtime |
|---|---|---|
typescript/ | @artifacta-mcp/mcp | Node 20+ |
python/ | artifacta-mcp | Python 3.10+ |
Install as a Claude Code plugin
For Claude Code, the fastest path is the plugin marketplace this repo doubles as — it wires up the hosted server *and* a skill that persists run outputs automatically:
/plugin marketplace add SagaPeak/artifacta-mcp
/plugin install artifacta@artifacta
This bundles the same hosted MCP connection as the Quick start below plus the persisting-outputs skill (/artifacta:persisting-outputs, or it auto-triggers when a session has outputs worth saving). Update the plugin with /plugin marketplace update artifacta. See the plugin setup guide.
Quick start
The fastest way to connect is the hosted server — no install, no API key:
claude mcp add --transport http artifacta https://mcp.artifacta.io/mcp
On first use your client self-registers via OAuth Dynamic Client Registration (PKCE) and opens a browser to authorize — no ak_live_ key to copy or store. See the hosted setup guide.
Local / CI (stdio)
For headless, air-gapped, or CI environments where a browser OAuth flow isn't available, run the package locally over stdio with an API key. Get a key at app.artifacta.io/dashboard/keys, then add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client):
{
"mcpServers": { "artifacta": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@artifacta-mcp/mcp"], "env": { "ARTIFACTA_API_KEY": "ak_live_..." } } } }
Or run the Python implementation with pipx run artifacta-mcp.
See the per-package READMEs for config-file profiles, path confinement (--allow-path), destructive-tool gating (--allow-destructive), and troubleshooting: TypeScript · Python.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
whoami | Verify credentials; returns tenant and plan info |
store_artifact | Upload an artifact from inline content or a local path |
request_upload_url / complete_upload | Two-phase presigned upload for large files |
get_artifact | Fetch artifact metadata by ID |
get_artifact_download_url | Get a presigned download URL (1h expiry) |
list_artifacts | List/filter artifacts by session, agent, or metadata |
list_sessions | List active sessions |
seal_session | Seal a session so no further artifacts can be added (gated behind --allow-destructive) |
create_download_link | Create a public expiring share link (gated behind --allow-destructive) |
delete_artifact | Soft-delete an artifact (gated behind --allow-destructive, same gate as create_download_link) |
publish_artifact | Publish an artifact as a public page at artifacta.io/a/{slug} (Artifact Pages); idempotent, unlisted by default |
unpublish_artifact | Take down an artifact's public page; the artifact itself is untouched; idempotent |
Plus MCP resources for whoami, artifact metadata, artifact bytes, and sessions.
Safety defaults: local-file uploads are confined to an explicit --allow-path allow-list, and destructive tools (public share links, deletes, session seals) are hidden from clients that can't confirm writes unless --allow-destructive is passed. publish_artifact and unpublish_artifact are idempotent write operations, not destructive ones — they are not gated behind --allow-destructive.
Hosted OAuth connections (mcp.artifacta.io) add a second layer: the consent screen grants one of three scopes — artifacts:read ⊆ artifacts:write ⊆ artifacts:destroy. All 13 tools are always advertised in tools/list; calling a tool the token wasn't granted for returns a tool error with code insufficient_scope naming the missing scope, and the fix is to re-authorize with the broader scope. Scope gating applies only to hosted OAuth — ak_live_ API keys and local stdio remain full-access, using --allow-destructive / confirmation flags instead.
Framework integrations
The Python package ships optional adapters for OpenAI Agents SDK (pip install 'artifacta-mcp[openai-agents]') and LangChain/LangGraph (pip install 'artifacta-mcp[langchain]').
