Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Obsideo MCP when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the File Systems domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
Create an instant no-email account (100 MB, ~7 days, proof-of-work, no human needed). Usually unnecessary: storage tools auto-create one on first use
signup_start
Email a 6-digit code (12 GB free tier; real inboxes only, refusals are labeled). With a trial configured this **claims it in place**: same account, keys and data, quota rises
signup_verify
Complete signup or the claim. A new account generates the signing keypair locally and stores credentials; a claim changes nothing but the quota
put
Store a file or inline content, encrypted client-side by default (`encrypt: false` opts out). Auto-creates a trial account if none is configured
get
Retrieve an object (auto-decrypts with the local key)
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Obsideo MCP is categorized under File Systems and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Google Drive MCP belongs to File Systems using local stdio subprocess. Select Obsideo MCP when you need capabilities focused on file systems and Google Drive MCP when you require tools for file systems.
Prove the network still holds an object, without downloading it
usage
Storage used vs quota, plus the plan line
backup_keys
Copy credentials, signing key, encryption key and upload commitments to a destination you give it (a .tar.gz path or a folder). No default: without a destination it refuses. Obsideo has no copy of the key
plan
Free tier or paid blocks, status, period end, any offer waiting for the human
upgrade
Stripe checkout link for N x 200 GB blocks. Charges nothing; the human pays on Stripe's page. Never changes an existing plan
