ctera-core-mcp-stdio provides an AI-powered interface to the CTERA Intelligent Data Services Platform via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It exposes the CTERA Portal file and folder management APIs, enabling users to perform actions through natural language commands or automated workflows. The server is designed to run with the MCP runtime and supports both Standard I/O (stdio.py-based) and SSE configurations. Configuration relies on environment variables for portal credentials and settings, including scope, host, user, password, and SSL. The README demonstrates setup options for stdio, SSE, and Docker deployment. The project is described as easily extensible to support additional CTERA functions. This MCP server is suitable for developers and operators who want to integrate CTERA Portal file management into automation pipelines or conversational interfaces, securely handling credentials via environment-based configuration.
