Uploadcare MCP server

Connect Uploadcare to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, GitHub Copilot and any other MCP client, for your whole team. Metorial adds security, governance, and tracing, and gives everyone one Magic MCP URL to connect.

What you can do with the Uploadcare MCP server

Ask your agent in plain language. Each of these maps to a real tool on the server.

  • Use the create file group tool in Uploadcare
  • Use the copy file tool in Uploadcare
  • Use the delete file tool in Uploadcare
  • Use the get file tool in Uploadcare
  • Use the list webhooks tool in Uploadcare
  • Use the store file group tool in Uploadcare

Supported Tools

create_group

Create File Group

Create an immutable group of files. Groups cannot be modified after creation — to change the file list, create a new group. File IDs can optionally include CDN transformation operations.

copy_file

Copy File

Create a copy of a file within Uploadcare (local copy) or to a custom S3 storage (remote copy). Local copies can include URL API transformations applied to the source.

delete_file

Delete File

Delete one or more files from Uploadcare storage. Deleted files are no longer accessible via CDN.

get_file

Get File

Retrieve detailed information about a specific file, including content info, metadata, and optionally add-on results (appdata).

list_webhooks

List Webhooks

List all webhooks configured for the current Uploadcare project.

store_group

Store File Group

Permanently store all files within a file group. This prevents the files from being automatically deleted after 24 hours.

build_cdn_url

Build Image CDN URL

Construct an Uploadcare CDN URL with image processing operations. Operations are chained in order and applied on-the-fly when the URL is accessed. Useful for generating optimized image URLs for display.

manage_metadata

Manage File Metadata

Read, set, or delete arbitrary key-value metadata on a file. Useful for tagging, categorization, and custom data storage. Use action "get" to read all metadata, "set" to update a key, or "delete" to remove a key.

delete_webhook

Delete Webhook

Delete a webhook by its target URL. The webhook will stop receiving event notifications.

store_file

Store File

Permanently store one or more files. Unstored files are automatically deleted after 24 hours. Storing a file makes it available permanently.

list_groups

List File Groups

List file groups in your Uploadcare project. Groups are immutable collections of files identified by a UUID~N format.

upload_from_url

Upload from URL

Upload a file to Uploadcare by providing a publicly accessible URL. Uploadcare fetches the file using your selected storage option. Returns an upload token, or an existing file when duplicate prevention finds a match.

get_project

Get Project Info

Retrieve information about the current Uploadcare project, including name, public key, autostore setting, and collaborators.

get_group

Get File Group

Retrieve detailed information about a file group, including its files.

create_webhook

Create Webhook

Register a new webhook to receive notifications for file events. Supported events: file.uploaded, file.stored, file.deleted, file.infected, file.info_updated.

get_video_encoding_status

Get Video Encoding Status

Check the status of an asynchronous video encoding job. Returns the current status and the resulting file info when complete.

list_files

List Files

List files in your Uploadcare project with optional filtering and ordering. Supports pagination and filtering by stored/removed status.

convert_document

Convert Document

Convert documents between formats (DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PDF, JPG, PNG, etc.). Conversion is asynchronous — this tool starts the job and returns a token for status polling. For image output formats, you can specify page number, DPI, and quality.

encode_video

Encode Video

Start a video encoding job. Supports converting to MP4, WEBM, or OGG, with options for resizing, quality, cutting, and thumbnail generation. Encoding is asynchronous — returns a token for status polling.

update_webhook

Update Webhook

Update an existing webhook's target URL, event type, active status, or signing secret.

get_document_conversion_status

Get Document Conversion Status

Check the status of an asynchronous document conversion job. Returns the current status and the resulting file info when complete.

execute_addon

Execute Add-On

Run an Uploadcare add-on on a file. Available add-ons: - **AWS Rekognition Detect Labels** — detect objects and scenes in images - **AWS Rekognition Moderation** — detect unsafe or inappropriate image content - **ClamAV Virus Scan** — scan a file for malware - **Remove.bg** — remove background from an image Execution is asynchronous. Returns a request ID for polling the add-on status.

get_addon_status

Get Add-On Status

Check the status of an asynchronous add-on execution. For completed executions, results are stored in the file's appdata field — use the Get File tool with includeAppdata to view them.

search_files

Search Files

Search filenames, metadata, detected MIME types, and file UUIDs. Matching is substring-aware; newly uploaded files can take time to appear in search results.

get_url_upload_status

Get URL Upload Status

Check the progress or failure of a file upload started by upload_from_url. A token identifies the upload task, while fileId identifies the resulting file.

get_file_tags

Get File Tags

Read the ordered tag list for a file.

replace_file_tags

Replace File Tags

Replace the complete tag set on a file. An empty list clears all tags. Uploadcare normalizes and deduplicates tags, with at most 50 tags per file.

download_file

Download File

Prepare the original file for download using its public Uploadcare CDN URL. The file must be ready and available through public delivery.

update_file_tags

Update File Tags

Atomically add and remove file tags. Deletions run before additions. Existing additions and absent deletions are ignored; an empty update returns the current tags.

delete_group

Delete File Group

Delete a file group. This removes the group itself and preserves its member files.

Connect Uploadcare to your AI client

Every client uses the same Magic MCP URL, and so does any other MCP client. Add it once and sign in with SSO.

  1. Enable Uploadcare in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Uploadcare MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
  2. Add a custom connector. Open Customize, then Connectors. Select Add, then Custom, then Web.
  3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL. Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>) and continue.
  4. Sign in. Select Add and sign in to load Uploadcare tools.

Run Uploadcare through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Uploadcare and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Uploadcare tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
  • Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.
