Automate IPFS pinning and decentralized storage via Pinata — manage files, JSON, and groups directly with AI.

12 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Connect your Pinata Cloud account to any AI agent and take full control of your decentralized storage and IPFS orchestration through natural conversation. Pinata is the premier platform for Web3 content management, and this integration allows you to pin files, manage decentralized metadata, and organize content into groups directly from your chat interface.

What you can do

  • IPFS Pinning Orchestration — Pin files and JSON objects programmatically to the decentralized web and retrieve their unique CIDs (Content Identifiers) instantly.
  • Decentralized Metadata Control — Update pin names and key-values via natural language to maintain a high-fidelity catalog of your decentralized assets.
  • Storage & Group Intelligence — Create and manage organizational groups and retrieve detailed pin lists with technical filters directly from the AI interface.
  • Usage & API Oversight — Monitor account data usage, manage API keys, and verify authentication health using simple AI commands.
  • Operational Monitoring — Track system responses and manage unpinning workflows to ensure your storage strategy is always optimized.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Pinata JWT (JSON Web Token) from your API keys settings
  3. Start managing your decentralized content from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

No more manual dashboard uploading or CID tracking. Your AI acts as a dedicated Web3 architect or decentralized storage manager.

Who is this for?

  • NFT Creators & Developers — quickly pin metadata assets and monitor IPFS availability without switching apps.
  • Web3 Engineering Teams — automate the organization of decentralized storage and track usage via natural conversation.
  • Data Architects — streamline the retrieval of decentralized content metadata and monitor organizational health directly within the chat.

List my last 5 files pinned to IPFS.

I've retrieved your recent pins. You have 5 files including 'Profile_Avatar.png' (CID: Qm...) and 'Project_Metadata.json'. Would you like me to create a group for these?

Upload and pin my application metadata JSON to IPFS with a custom name for easy retrieval.

File pinned to IPFS successfully. CID: bafkreihdwdcefgh4dqkjv67uzcmw7ojee6xedzdetojuzjevtenrj. Name: "app-metadata-v2.json". Size: 4.2 KB. Gateway URL: gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/bafkrei... The content is now permanently available on the IPFS network and accessible through any IPFS gateway. Pin status: Pinned across 3 nodes for redundancy.

List all my pinned files on IPFS and check which ones are consuming the most storage.

You have 47 pinned files using 2.3 GB of your 5 GB plan. Top 5 by size: "nft-collection-images.zip" (890 MB), "video-assets-q2.mp4" (456 MB), "product-catalog.json" (234 MB), "user-avatars-batch.tar" (178 MB), "brand-guidelines.pdf" (89 MB). 12 files were pinned in the last 30 days. 8 files have not been accessed in over 90 days and could be candidates for unpinning.

Yes! Use the `list_pins` tool. Provide filters like the pin name, and your agent will respond with the unique IPFS hash (CID) and associated technical metadata in seconds.
