Obsideo MCP: MCP server, setup and security
Obsideo MCP is an MCP server published on GitHub that lets an AI agent store and manage objects with cryptographic proofs of possession. Its repository has 0 stars and its last commit is from September 27, 2026, but it declares no licence.
What Obsideo MCP does
According to its repository: “Encrypted S3-compatible object storage with cryptographic possession proofs: put, get, list and delete objects, with optional client-side encryption.”
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard plug between an AI agent and an outside service: once the server is connected, its tools show up in the agent, which decides when to call them. Obsideo MCP is listed under Files and documents, a category of 55 servers in the directory, where it ranks #55 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: ai-agents, claude, encrypted-storage, object-storage, s3-compatible.
Installing and connecting Obsideo MCP
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- npm package (Node.js, usually started with
npx)
It works with any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and most recent agents). You add one entry to the client's MCP configuration: server name, start command or URL, environment variables. Project language: TypeScript.
Security: what to check
Connecting an MCP server means installing software that talks straight to your agent: it runs with your rights and the model trusts its tool descriptions. The risk therefore depends on what it can touch and how far its code can be trusted.
Points found for Obsideo MCP:
- System access: the Files and documents category gives the agent control over files, a terminal, code or a browser. A booby-trapped instruction in content the agent reads (prompt injection) can then turn into an action.
- No licence: without a licence the code is not legally reusable, even if it is public. Avoid it in a company setting without the author's agreement.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on July 19, 2026, the Regan-Milne/obsideo-mcp repository has 0 stars and 0 forks, with 0 open issues. It has more stars than 4% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 0.7.5 (September 25, 2026).
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
