Features
- Seamless access to multiple storage services including S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage, and more
- List files and directories from storage services
- Read file contents with automatic text/binary detection
- Environment variable based configuration
Installation
pip install mcp-server-opendal
Usage with Claude Desktop
Add the following to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"opendal": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"mcp-server-opendal"
],
"env": {
"YOUR_ENV_VAR": "YOUR_ENV_VALUE"
}
}
}
}It requires uv to be installed on your machine. Check the official documentation for installation guides.
Environment variables
Configure storage services by setting environment variables. Each service requires a prefix and specific configuration options.
For example, to configure an S3 service with alias "mys3":
OPENDAL_MYS3_TYPE=s3 OPENDAL_MYS3_BUCKET=mybucket OPENDAL_MYS3_REGION=us-east-1 OPENDAL_MYS3_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:9000 OPENDAL_MYS3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=myaccesskey OPENDAL_MYS3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=mysecretkey
Then you can use tool like read and list with mys3://path/to/file.
mcp-server-opendal will also load from .env.

Built from this server's own package name, version and transport as found in its source — not copied from anyone's documentation, so it cannot drift against a page we do not control. Replace the environment placeholders with a token scoped to the least it needs.

Questions
What is the Opendal MCP server?
Model Context Protocol Server for Apache OpenDALTM
What tools does Opendal expose?
3 in total: 3 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Opendal safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does Opendal need?
It reads OPENAI_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (430b757540fd), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
