Qiniu MCP Server Integration

What does “Qiniu” MCP Server do?

The Qiniu MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built on top of Qiniu Cloud services, designed to bridge AI assistants and large language model clients with Qiniu’s cloud storage and intelligent multimedia services. By exposing storage and media processing capabilities via the MCP interface, it allows developers and AI-powered workflows to interact programmatically with Qiniu buckets, files, and CDN features directly from their AI tools. This integration enables tasks such as querying and managing cloud storage, uploading and downloading files, performing image transformations, and managing CDN caching. The Qiniu MCP Server streamlines the process of connecting external data sources and operational triggers to AI agents, enhancing development workflows and enabling seamless data-driven automation.

How to use this MCP inside flows

Using MCP in FlowHunt

To integrate MCP servers into your FlowHunt workflow, start by adding the MCP component to your flow and connecting it to your AI agent:

FlowHunt MCP flow

Click on the MCP component to open the configuration panel. In the system MCP configuration section, insert your MCP server details using this JSON format:

{
  "qiniu": {
    "transport": "streamable_http",
    "url": "https://yourmcpserver.example/pathtothemcp/url"
  }
}

Once configured, the AI agent is now able to use this MCP as a tool with access to all its functions and capabilities. Remember to change “qiniu” to whatever the actual name of your MCP server is and replace the URL with your own MCP server URL.

Based on the two tables, Qiniu MCP Server is well documented for core setup and feature coverage around Qiniu Cloud, but lacks explicit sampling/roots/prompt template support documentation. Its feature set is strong for storage and media, but more advanced MCP primitives are not detailed.

Our opinion

If your primary need is to integrate Qiniu Cloud file and media operations with AI assistant workflows, this MCP server is solid and covers all basic use cases with clear setup. For more advanced prompt/workflow or agentic features, documentation is thin. Score: 7/10.
