You can retrieve both text and binary files. Text files are returned as plain text, while binary files are returned with limited details and base64 encoded data.

The server seamlessly integrates with Claude Desktop, allowing you to use natural language commands to manage your S3 buckets and files directly within Claude.

Question 4

How do I configure the S3 buckets that the server can access?

Accepted Answer

You can configure the allowed S3 buckets using the `S3_BUCKETS` environment variable. This variable should contain a comma-separated list of the bucket names.

The server only accesses buckets specified in the `S3_BUCKETS` environment variable, and AWS credentials must have appropriate permissions. It is highly recommended to use IAM roles with the principle of least privilege.
