- Supports memory, filesystem, Redis, MongoDB, and HTTP storage drivers.
- Provides 12 tools: showMounts, getItem, getItems, getItemRaw, getMeta, getKeys, setItem, setItems, setItemRaw, setMeta, removeItem, removeMeta.
- --disable-modify flag to forbid destructive tools.
- Automatic fallback to memory driver when no root mount is defined.
- Easy to extend: clone repo, copy a driver file, and implement.
- Environment variables configure driver-specific base paths and mount points.
Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Unstorage MCP ServerCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Install via npm with npx @slow-groovin/unstorage-mcp, configuring drivers through environment variables (e.g., REDIS_URL, MONGODB_URL, FS_BASE, HTTP_BASE). Use arguments like --disable-modify to restrict write operations. Run with an MCP inspector or as a local dev server using tsx.
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

environment variables
> for the concept of base and mountpoint, please refer to the doc of unstorage
redis
_if REDIS_URL is set, a redis storage will be mounted_
| Syntax | Description | Default Value | Optional |
| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | -------- |
| REDIS_URL | redis connect url, eg: redis://default:123456@localhost:6379 | | |
| REDIS_BASE | base of redisDriver | | ✅ |
| REDIS_MOUNT_POINT | mountpoint of this storage | "/" | ✅ |
mongodb
_if MONGODB_URL is set, a mongodb storage will be mounted_
| Syntax | Description | Default Value | Optional |
| ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | -------- |
| MONGODB_URL | mongodb connect url, eg: mongodb://user:pass@host:port | | |
| MONGODB_DB_NAME | mongodb database name, eg: test | | |
| MONGODB_COLLECTION_NAME | mongodb collection name, eg: mycollection | | |
| MONGODB_MOUNT_POINT | mountpoint of this storage | "/" | ✅ |
filesystem
_if FS_BASE is set, a redis storage will be mounted_
| Syntax | Description | Default Value | Optional |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------- | -------- |
| FS_BASE | base of fsDriver, path of filesystem | | |
| FS_MOUNT_POINT | mountpoint of this storage | "/" | ✅ |
http server
_if HTTP_BASE is set, a http storage will be mounted_
| Syntax | Description | Default Value | Optional |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | -------- |
| HTTP_BASE | base of httpDriver, endpoint of http server | | |
| HTTP_MOUNT_POINT | mountpoint of this storage | "/" | ✅ |
| HTTP_HEADERS | headers for http requests, eg: Authorization=Bear 123;A=1;B=2 | | ✅ |
memory
If there is no mount on root("/"), a memory driver will be mounted automatically on "/" (same behaviour of unstorage).
extend guide
1. clone this repo
2. copy src/storage/redis.ts to a new file and modify it to your desired driver(unjs/unstorage is super easy to learn)
3. test and verify that it is effective
4. (optional) pull a merge request
If you are not a typescript developer, please submit a issue to ask for other drivers support.
prompts for cursor/cline assisted programming
@/src/storage/mongodb.ts , please implement this file:
1. you need to fetch information using the storage type's corresponding Doc URL (https://unstorage.unjs.io/drivers/<storage type>).
2. you can refer to examples in @/src/adapter/redis.ts and @/src/storage/http.ts.
3. You are only responsible for generating the code and do not need to perform testing.
> If you have not installed fetch MCP server, delete the first sentence
