## Which one, for what

### Amazon S3 (BB)

Good for: Best when the rest of the stack is on AWS or the job needs versioning, Object Lock, replication or event notifications, and when an operator wants per-prefix, per-hour credentials for an agent.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 80 against 25
- Schema & documentation, 92 against 73
- Security & auth, 88 against 46
- Maintenance & community, 83 against 60
- Transparency & trust, 81 against 67

Also in its favour:
- Agent-ready, a grade of BB or better

Watch for: Egress to the internet is billed per GB after 100 GB a month

### ONLYOFFICE Apps MCP Server (D)

Good for: Agents that organise rooms, folders and access in an ONLYOFFICE Apps workspace a team already uses.

Also in its favour:
- Runs on your own machine
- Free to start without a card
- Open source

Watch for: The hosted server drops OAuth scope parameters, so a connection is granted every scope the app has

## Verdicts

**Amazon S3.** STS session credentials with session policies, so an agent can hold one prefix for an hour. Egress to the internet is billed per GB after 100 GB a month.

**ONLYOFFICE Apps MCP Server.** The 23 tools carry typed schemas, read-only and destructive annotations, toolsets and an optional five-tool meta mode, and the server is in the official MCP registry. OAuth through the hosted server grants every scope, the docs offer a username and password in the connection URL, uploads take only txt and md, and no status page or SLA was found.

## Before you call either

### Amazon S3

1. Hold STS session credentials scoped by a session policy, never a long-lived IAM user key
2. Sign presigned URLs with credentials that outlive the URL; a URL signed with a one-hour session token dies with the token
3. Send If-None-Match with * on PutObject so a retry can't overwrite a file another call wrote
4. Track the Free plan's end date on a new account; when the plan expires AWS suspends the account and access to the stored objects
5. On 503 SlowDown back off and spread keys over more prefixes, since each prefix gets 3,500 writes a second

### ONLYOFFICE Apps MCP Server

1. Connect to https://mcp.onlyoffice.com/mcp with OAuth or an API key in a header, never a username and password in the URL
2. Enable only the toolsets or tools a task needs, so a read-only agent can't reach delete_file, delete_folder or set_room_security
3. Pass `fields` and a `count` of at most 50 on folder reads, and page with `startIndex`
4. Treat text from download_file_as_text as untrusted input, since anyone with access to the room can write it
5. Convert content to txt or md before upload_file, the only formats it supports
