About MCPH
AI artifact storage and sharing made simple
Where AI tools come to store, package, and share their artifacts
What is MCPH?
MCPH stands for Model Context Protocol Harbor, where the "H" represents a harbor where boats (AI tools and models) come to store, leave, and share their crates (packaged artifacts).
The Harbor Metaphor
Think of MCPH as a digital harbor where:
- The Harbor (Hub) - A central place where different vessels can dock, exchange cargo, and continue their journey
- Boats - Various AI tools and models that visit the harbor
- Crates - Standardized packages containing AI artifacts (outputs, models, data) that can be easily loaded, unloaded, and transported
- Loading/Unloading - The process of storing and retrieving artifacts from the system
- Shipping Routes - The pathways through which artifacts are shared between different tools and users
Just as a harbor provides a standardized way for boats of all sizes to dock and exchange cargo in crates, MCPH provides a standardized way for AI tools to store and share their artifacts in a consistent format.
This metaphor reflects our core philosophy: creating a universal system where AI artifacts can be packaged, stored, shared, and transported between different tools and platforms with minimal friction.
Our Mission
MCPH was built with a simple mission: to make storing and sharing AI-generated artifacts effortless while prioritizing privacy through smart storage management. We believe that packaging artifacts in standardized crates should be simple, secure, and respect your privacy by default.
Our service is designed for those moments when you need to quickly store and share artifacts created by AI tools. Like shipping containers in a harbor, our crates are standardized, secure, and persistent. Creators authenticate once to upload; anyone with the link can read, no account needed.
Harbor Principles
- Persistent Storage - Authenticated user crates are stored indefinitely until you choose to delete them, giving you full control over your data.
- Open Harbor Policy - We don't track visitors.
- Streamlined Operations - Upload, share, done. No unnecessary complexity in our loading procedures.
- AI-Friendly Port - Built-in API for AI systems to use with SSE endpoints, allowing easy docking for all AI tools.
How It Works
Harbor Infrastructure
Our digital harbor (MCPH) is built using modern technologies to ensure reliability, security, and performance:
- Frontend: Next.js 15+ with TypeScript and React 19
- Storage: Google Cloud Storage for secure file hosting with automatic lifecycle management
- Metadata & TTL: Upstash Redis for high-performance file metadata and time-based expiration
- Deployment: Hosted on Vercel with edge functions for global performance
- Cleanup: Automated purge mechanisms via Vercel Cron jobs
Harbor Security & Privacy
We've designed our harbor with security and privacy as core principles:
- Crates are stored with encryption at rest in our secure storage facilities
- All shipping routes (transfers) are encrypted via HTTPS
- We maintain minimal harbor logs (IP addresses for abuse prevention only, with short retention)
- Cargo manifests (file metadata) are completely purged when crates expire
- No tracking or profiling of ships that dock at our harbor
Trust & Transparency
We believe in being open about our security and privacy practices. Your trust is important to us, and we are committed to protecting your data.
- Encryption in Transit: All data is transmitted securely over HTTPS, ensuring it is encrypted between you and our servers.
- Encryption at Rest: Your files are stored on Google Cloud Storage, which automatically encrypts all data at rest.
- Persistent by Design: Authenticated user crates remain in our harbor indefinitely until you decide to remove them, ensuring your AI artifacts are always available when you need them.
- No User Tracking: We do not track personal information.
