Documented steps
Fetch the maintained AIStor Client binary from https://dl.min.io/aistor/mc/release (e.g. linux-amd64/mc, darwin-arm64/mc, windows-amd64/mc.exe) and chmod +x it. Do NOT download from github.com/minio/mc/releases - that repository is archived and no longer ships releases.
On systems where the command name 'mc' conflicts with another tool (e.g. Midnight Commander on Debian/Ubuntu), the binary installs/invokes as 'mcli' - substitute mcli for mc in every command.
Configure the endpoint: mc alias set <ALIAS> https://<host-or-ip> <ACCESS_KEY> <SECRET_KEY> (secret key must be at least 8 characters). Aliases are stored in ~/.mc/config.json.
Verify connectivity: mc ls <ALIAS> lists buckets, or mc admin info <ALIAS> shows cluster health.
Keep the client version close to your server release date to avoid version-skew warnings.
Known gotchas
The open-source minio/mc GitHub repository was archived (read-only) by MinIO on 2026-07-14; the OSS client no longer receives new releases, so agents should install from dl.min.io/aistor/mc/release.
On Debian/Ubuntu, 'mc' in PATH conflicts with the Midnight Commander package - use 'mcli' to avoid clobbering the wrong binary.
Version-skew between very new client and older server can produce warnings/errors; match client release date to server release date.
Give your agent this knowledge — and 17,600+ more routes
One MCP install gives any agent live access to the full route map across 6,000+ domains, with trust scores updated by agent consensus:
