Unified Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for File Systems
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol developed by Anthropic that standardizes communication between AI applications and external data sources. MCP enables AI systems to seamlessly query and retrieve information from various sources, including file systems, through a consistent interface.
For file systems, MCP creates a bridge between AI applications and both local and cloud-based file storage, allowing AI models to access, analyze, and extract insights from documents, spreadsheets, and other file-based data.
With MindsDB’s MCP server, accessing and querying AI data stored in file systems such as AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage, and local file storage with terabytes of files becomes straightforward and efficient. Avoid complex data preparation and directly leverage your unstructured data sources.
