About VolcEngine TOS
VolcEngine TOS MCP Server is an official tool from Volcano Engine that enables natural language exploration and retrieval of content from Torch Object Storage (TOS). It provides three MCP tools: list_buckets (list all storage buckets), list_objects (list objects in a bucket with pagination support), and get_object (retrieve object content – text returns raw content, binary returns Base64 encoding). The server integrates seamlessly with AI platforms such as Fangzhou, Python, and Cursor, and can be combined with other VolcEngine cloud MCP products to build intelligent applications. It is open source, free, and requires VolcEngine access credentials configured via environment variables.
Key Features
Natural language queries for TOS content exploration
List all storage buckets under the account
List objects with pagination (prefix, start_after, continuation_token)
Retrieve object content: text files and CSV return raw content, binary files (images, videos) return Base64 encoding
Supports integration with Fangzhou, Python, and Cursor platforms
Free and open source under MIT license
Easy setup with uv/uvx and environment variable configuration
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Natural language interface simplifies data access and reduces technical barrier
- Supports multiple object types (text, CSV, image, video) with appropriate encoding
- Pagination support for handling large numbers of objects
- Free to use and open source with community support
- Works with popular AI development platforms (Cursor, Fangzhou)
- Straightforward setup with Python 3.10+ and uv
Cons
- Requires a VolcEngine account and valid access keys
- Binary objects are returned as Base64 encoded strings, not direct file downloads
- Only supports VolcEngine TOS, not other cloud object storage providers
- Limited to listing and retrieval operations; no upload, delete, or management capabilities

FAQ
What is VolcEngine TOS MCP Server?
It is an official MCP server from Volcano Engine that allows natural language queries to explore and retrieve content from Torch Object Storage (TOS).
What tools does it provide?
It provides three tools: list_buckets (list all buckets), list_objects (list objects in a bucket with optional pagination), and get_object (retrieve object content).
How do I install and configure it?
Requires Python 3.10+ and uv. Clone the repository, run 'uv sync' to install dependencies, and set environment variables (VOLCENGINE_ACCESS_KEY, VOLCENGINE_SECRET_KEY, VOLCENGINE_REGION) in a .env file.
What is the output format for binary objects?
For binary objects like images and videos, the get_object tool returns Base64 encoded content. For text objects like text files and CSV files, it returns the raw content.
