Common questions
Is Uploadkit safe?
It passed 2 of 2 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?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 7 days ago, and the latest version (0.3.1) reached the registry 7 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.
What can I use instead?
In the same category: Ruflo, Context7, Metabase

@uploadkitdev/mcp
Model Context Protocol server for UploadKit — gives AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed) first-class knowledge of the UploadKit SDK.
Your AI now knows:
- Every one of UploadKit's 40+ React components (name, category, inspiration, usage)
- How to scaffold the Next.js route handler
- How to wire
into the root layout - How to configure BYOS (Bring Your Own Storage) for S3, R2, GCS, or Backblaze B2
- Which install command to run for your package manager
No config. No API key. Runs local via npx.
Remote MCP
For clients that cannot spawn npx (ChatGPT custom connectors, Claude.ai web, Smithery), UploadKit also exposes a Streamable HTTP endpoint:
https://api.uploadkit.dev/api/v1/mcp
Same 11-tool surface, read-only, no auth. Full setup: https://docs.uploadkit.dev/docs/guides/mcp#remote-mcp
Install
Add this to your MCP client config.
