GistPadSAFE

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

1. Using VS Code?
2. 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!

1. Open the GistPad tab and sign-in with your GitHub account. After that, you can begin using GistPad from Copilot chat (in Agent mode) without doing any extra setup or token management 💪

1. Other MCP clients...
2. Generate a personal access token that includes only the gist scope: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new
3. Add the equivalent of the following to your client's MCP config file (or via an "Add MCP server" GUI/TUI):

{
"mcpServers": {
"gistpad": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "gistpad-mcp"],
"env": {
"GITHUB_TOKEN": ""
}
}
}
}
