Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "s3": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-server-s3"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add s3 -- npx -y mcp-server-s3

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "s3": {

      "args": [
        "-y",

    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

Common questions

Is S3 safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 –, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 8 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?

mcp-server-s3

Manage AWS S3 buckets and objects from your AI assistant. Browse files, upload and download content, and generate presigned URLs.

npx mcp-server-s3

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, and any MCP client. Uses your existing AWS credentials (~/.aws/credentials or environment variables).

Demo built with remotion-readme-kit

Why

S3 is the most widely used cloud storage service, but managing it from the command line means remembering aws s3 ls, aws s3 cp, presigned URL syntax, and various flags. Google has an official MCP for GCS, Cloudflare has one for R2, but AWS S3 doesn't have a polished standalone MCP server on npm. This one lets you ask your assistant to list buckets, download a config file, upload content, or generate a temporary sharing link. It uses the standard AWS credential chain, so if your CLI already works, this works too.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`list_buckets`	List all S3 buckets in your AWS account.
`list_objects`	List objects in a bucket, with optional prefix filter.
`get_object`	Download and read an object's content as text.
`put_object`	Upload text content to an S3 object.
`delete_object`	Delete an object from a bucket.
`presigned_url`	Generate a temporary presigned URL for an object.
`bucket_info`	Check if a bucket exists and get basic info.

Quick Start

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

"mcpServers": { "s3": { "command": "npx", "args": ["mcp-server-s3"], "env": { "AWS_REGION": "us-east-1", "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "your-access-key", "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "your-secret-key" } } } }

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

"mcpServers": { "s3": { "command": "npx", "args": ["mcp-server-s3"], "env": { "AWS_REGION": "us-east-1", "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "your-access-key", "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "your-secret-key" } } } }

VS Code

Configure the MCP server to run npx mcp-server-s3 with AWS_REGION, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY in the environment.

Authentication

The server uses the standard AWS credential chain:

Environment variables: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION
Shared credentials file: ~/.aws/credentials
IAM roles: when running on EC2, ECS, Lambda, or similar

Set AWS_REGION (defaults to us-east-1) and make sure your credentials have the necessary S3 permissions: s3:ListBuckets, s3:ListBucket, s3:GetObject, s3:PutObject, s3:DeleteObject, s3:HeadBucket.

Agent Plugins

This repo is an Agent Plugins 1.0.0 package: plugin.json, portable mcp.json, and skills/ ship together with the MCP server.

For Cursor, clone the repo and copy or symlink it to ~/.cursor/plugins/local/mcp-server-s3, then reload the window. Skills and MCP show up under Customize > Plugins.

Agent Plugins v1 does not ship OAuth or AWS SSO wiring. Set AWS_REGION and credentials via env or ~/.aws/credentials in the MCP client host. One-click install is not offered because secrets stay in env.

FAQ

What is mcp-server-s3?

An MCP server for S3: list buckets and objects, read/upload text objects, delete keys, presigned URLs, and bucket checks.

How does authentication work?

Standard AWS credential chain: env vars, shared credentials file, or IAM role on the machine running the MCP server.

Which env vars should I set in MCP config?

At minimum AWS_REGION. Often AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY unless you rely on ~/.aws/credentials or a role.

Can I install it as an Agent Plugin in Cursor?

Yes, via ~/.cursor/plugins/local/mcp-server-s3. Ensure the Cursor process can read the same AWS credentials as your CLI.

Why no one-click Cursor button?

AWS keys cannot be embedded in a portable install link. Use the JSON under Quick Start.

Example prompts

"List all my S3 buckets"
"Show me the files in my-bucket/uploads/"
"Download the config.json from my-bucket"
"Upload this content to my-bucket/notes.txt"
"Generate a presigned URL for this file that expires in 1 hour"
