📓 GistPad MCP An MCP server for managing and sharing your personal knowledge, daily notes, and reuseable prompts via GitHub Gists. It's a companion to the GistPad VS Code extension and GistPad.dev (for web/mobile), which allows you to access and edit your gists from any MCP-enabled AI product (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Claude Desktop). 🏃 Getting started 🛠️ Included tools 📁 Included resources 💬 Reusable prompts 💻 CLI reference 🏃 Getting started Using VS Code? Install the GistPad extension and then reload VS Code Note: This requires VS Code 1.101.0+, so if you're on an older version, it's time to upgrade! Open the tab and sign-in with your GitHub account. After that, you can begin using GistPad from Copilot chat (in mode) without doing any extra setup or token management 💪 Other MCP clients... Generate a personal access token that includes only the scope: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new Add the equivalent of the following to your client's MCP config file (or via an "Add MCP server" GUI/TUI): json { "mcpServers": { "gistpad": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "gistpad-mcp"], "env": { "GITHUBTOKEN": ""
