UploadKit MCP server

Lets your AI write ready-to-use UploadKit file upload code for your app, with the right components and setup.

UploadKit is a toolkit for adding file uploads to a website or app. It comes with ready-made upload buttons, dropzones, and progress bars for React, plus a way to store the files in your own cloud bucket. This MCP server is for people who already use UploadKit (or want to start) and would like their AI assistant to write the setup code for them.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill. This one gives your AI knowledge of UploadKit, so it knows the exact components, packages, and setup steps. When you ask for an upload button or a route handler, the AI can produce the right code instead of guessing.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like "add a file dropzone to my Next.js app." The AI calls this helper, which looks up the right UploadKit package, component name, and setup steps. The helper sends that information back to the AI. The AI then writes the code for you, using the correct imports and options. You copy the code into your project and it works with UploadKit.

What you can do with it

  • Generate a dropzone or upload button component for your app
  • Create the Next.js route handler that receives the uploads
  • Set up UploadKit with your own storage bucket (S3, R2, GCS, or B2)
  • Pick the right premium component for a look you want, like Glass or Terminal
  • Search the UploadKit docs to answer a question about setup
  • Scaffold a new project with UploadKit already wired in

Try asking your AI

  • “Add an UploadDropzone to my Next.js app using UploadKit”
  • “Show me how to set up UploadKit with my own Cloudflare R2 bucket”
  • “Which UploadKit component looks like the Vercel style dropzone?”
  • “Write the route handler for UploadKit that only allows images up to 4MB”

What it gives back to you

You get code snippets, file paths, and short setup instructions right in the chat. The AI explains which package to install and where each file goes. It can also quote the relevant part of the UploadKit docs so you can check it yourself.

Before you start

What you need

  • An AI coding assistant that supports MCP, like Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or Zed
  • Node.js installed on your computer (the helper runs with npx)
  • An UploadKit API key if you plan to use the managed storage (you get one free from the UploadKit dashboard)

Install it with your AI

Add UploadKit MCP server to your AI, no technical skills needed

You don't install anything by hand. You copy one prompt, paste it into an AI that can work on your computer, and it checks, installs and connects the server for you, asking you when it needs something.

Sign in to get the install prompt

Members get a ready-made prompt that lets the Claude desktop app check UploadKit MCP server, install it and connect it for them, step by step. You don't need any technical skills: you copy, paste and answer a few questions. Your connected AI can also find and install any of the 4,066 MCP servers here for you.
