## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-18.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 45/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 9 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 76/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1139 tokens (~113/item across 10 items; 10 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 10 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 11 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

## MCP tools (10)

### `get_status` (~26 tokens)

Aktar status

Check that Aktar is running and connected, and which version and destination it has selected.

### `list_destinations` (~43 tokens)

List destinations

List the storage destinations set up in Aktar: name, provider, bucket, public link base, whether it's the selected one, and the file types it's used for.

### `search_uploads` (~78 tokens)

Search uploads

Search Aktar's upload history by file name or key, newest first. Without a query, lists the latest uploads.

Input parameters:

- `destination` (string): Only uploads to this destination (name or ID).
- `limit` (integer): How many to return (default 20).
- `query` (string): Part of the file name or key.

### `upload_file` (~268 tokens)

Upload a file

Upload a local file to the user's storage and return its link (plus Markdown and HTML). The file becomes reachable by anyone with the link. If the same file is already there, Aktar returns its existing link (reused: true).

Input parameters:

- `destination` (string): Destination name or ID from list_destinations. Leave out to let Aktar choose.
- `expires` (integer): Delete after this many days (needs Aktar's auto-delete rules on the destination). 0 or left out keeps the file.
- `folder` (string): Keep the file name and put it in this folder of the bucket, instead of the destination's path template.
- `name` (string): Upload under this name instead of the file's own (its extension is kept if this has none).
- `path` (string, required): Path of the file to upload, absolute or relative to the server's working directory. It must be inside the folders the server may upload from (--root, or its working directory), and secrets (SSH keys,…
- `short` (boolean): true makes a short link with the destination's link shortener (even if its rules would skip this one), false makes none. Leave out to let the destination's setting decide.

### `upload_clipboard` (~119 tokens)

Upload the clipboard

Upload the file or image on the user's clipboard and return its link. The file becomes reachable by anyone with the link.

Input parameters:

- `destination` (string): Destination name or ID from list_destinations. Leave out to let Aktar choose.
- `expires` (integer): Delete after this many days. 0 or left out keeps the file.
- `short` (boolean): true makes a short link with the destination's link shortener (even if its rules would skip this one), false makes none. Leave out to let the destination's setting decide.

### `create_short_link` (~78 tokens)

Create a short link

Make a short link for an upload from search_uploads with its destination's link shortener, or return the one it already has. Returns the short link and the upload, whose formats then use it. Fails if the destination has no link shortener set up.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): The upload's ID from search_uploads.

### `list_bucket` (~96 tokens)

Browse a bucket

List the folders and files right under a folder of a destination's bucket, including files not uploaded with Aktar. Returns nextContinuationToken when there's more.

Input parameters:

- `continuationToken` (string): nextContinuationToken from the previous page.
- `destination` (string): Destination name or ID. Leave out for the selected one.
- `prefix` (string): Folder to list, like "docs/2026/". Leave out for the top.

### `create_temporary_link` (~142 tokens)

Create a temporary link

Make a link to a file in a bucket that stops working after a while (a presigned URL), for private buckets or sharing for a limited time. Anyone with the link can download the file until it expires, even from a private bucket, so only make one when the user asks. Nothing in the bucket changes.

Input parameters:

- `destination` (string): Destination name or ID. Leave out for the selected one.
- `key` (string, required): The file's key in the bucket (objectKey in search_uploads, key in list_bucket).
- `minutes` (integer): How long the link works, in minutes (default 60, at most 60).

### `get_thumbnail` (~51 tokens)

Show an upload's thumbnail

Get a small preview image of an upload from search_uploads (photos, videos, PDFs, documents...), to see what a file looks like without downloading it.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): The upload's ID.

### `list_watched_folders` (~34 tokens)

List watched folders

List the folders Aktar uploads new files from automatically, with their status and queue, and whether watching is paused.

## Common questions

### What is the Aktar MCP server?

Aktar is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.getaktar/aktar. Upload files to your own S3, Cloudflare R2 or B2 bucket through the Aktar app and get links. This page covers its npm package (@getaktar/cli).

### Is the Aktar MCP server safe to use?

Aktar scores 71 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 18 October 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Aktar MCP server expose?

Aktar exposes 10 tools: get_status, list_destinations, search_uploads, upload_file, upload_clipboard, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 935 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Aktar MCP server still maintained?

Aktar is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 18 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Aktar MCP server under?

Aktar declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
