What does the tigris mcp server do?

It connects Tigris to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Tigris directly.

How do I install the tigris mcp server?

Run it through your MCP client's configuration using `npx -y @tigrisdata/tigris-mcp-server`. Add the server block to Claude Desktop's config file (or use `claude mcp add` for Claude Code), restart the client, and the tools appear automatically. Full snippets are on this page.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3`, `USE_AWS_PROFILES`, `AWS_PROFILE`, `YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Tigris MCP server?

Connect Tigris to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. MCP server for Tigris Data. The tigris mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

Tigris is a high-performance, S3-compatible object storage system designed for multi-cloud and AI workloads. We move your data all around the world based on where it's needed so that downloads are fast and the data is close to your users. You can store anything you want on Tigris (AI models, training data, database backups, request logs, social media uploads, or anything else) with no egress fees.

Installation

Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3, USE_AWS_PROFILES, AWS_PROFILE, YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Where it fits

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. It is maintained by tigrisdata; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Tigris's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
