MCP support
The MCP server exposes Beecargo file-hosting tools over hosted HTTP or local stdio. Agents can register for a bootstrap key or upload anonymously with tighter limits.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

Model Context Protocol server for the Beecargo file hosting API.
Portable marketplace packaging (Agent Plugins 1.0 + Cursor manifest) lives in ../agent-plugin.
Fastest path (agents)
Publish a durable share link with no human dashboard login:
- Add hosted MCP with no headers:
https://mcp.beecargo.net/mcp(full tools; seeexamples/cursor-http.mcp.json). If/mcprequires auth, usehttps://mcp.beecargo.net/mcp/guestfor bootstrap-only tools. - Call
beecargo_register_agent→ solves a short PoW, returns bootstrapbc_*(10GB / 100rpm; session adopts the key). - Call
beecargo_uploadwith a public HTTPSurl→ hand offhttps://beecargo.net/d/{shortId}(always the full share URL). Multi-file handoff:openShare: trueon the first file, thenshareShortIdon later uploads (same link, one unlock). - Optional:
beecargo_update_share_settingswithprotect: true(+handoffMessage) onfileIdor ShipmentshortId→ returnunlockCodeandhandoffUrl(/h/…) on a private channel.
For production agents (100GB included concurrent storage / 1000rpm / high remote/hr): mint a Pro-tier key via dashboard POST /api-keys/agent (Pro required) or operator POST /agent/api-keys.
Skip registration for ephemeral uploads: beecargo_upload works anonymously (stricter limits; save deletionToken).

Stdio (local)
cd apps/mcp && pnpm build && pnpm start
Optional: BEECARGO_API_KEY=bc_… in env. After beecargo_register_agent, the stdio session adopts the new key automatically.
See examples/cursor-stdio.mcp.json.
HTTP (hosted)
https://mcp.beecargo.net/mcp (full tools when authenticated). Guest bootstrap: https://mcp.beecargo.net/mcp/guest. See examples/cursor-http.mcp.json.
Existing key: examples/cursor-http-with-key.mcp.json.
Env: see .env.example. Highlights:

Official MCP Registry
server.json is the Official MCP Registry manifest for io.github.Beecargo/mcp (schema 2025-12-11). The hosted remote is https://mcp.beecargo.net/mcp. Discovery copies also live at /.well-known/mcp/server.json on this host and on https://beecargo.net.
This file does not mean the server is already listed in the registry.
CLI (local scripts)
Use the dedicated package @beecargo/cli:
npx --yes github:Beecargo/cli upload ./artifact.zip --json
npx --yes github:Beecargo/cli remote https://example.com/file.bin --async --json
npx --yes github:Beecargo/cli share FILE_ID --price-cents 500 --key YOUR_BC_KEY
npx --yes github:Beecargo/cli download FILE_ID ./out.bin --purchase-token TOKEN
From the monorepo: pnpm cli upload ./artifact.zip. Publish flags (--ttl, --protect, …) match MCP beecargo_upload. share --price-cents / download --purchase-token match MCP share-settings and retrieve.
pnpm smoke:http # MCP transport (no API)
BEECARGO_API_URL=http://localhost:3001 pnpm smoke:api # live upload against API

Publish
Scope is @beecargo. First publish is manual with --otp. After that, set Trusted Publisher on the npm package to GitHub Beecargo/mcp workflow publish.yml. Then bump the patch in package.json and push main.
pnpm typecheck && pnpm publish --access public --otp=XXXXXX

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
