Overview

What is mcp-server-gist?

mcp-server-gist is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that wraps the GitHub Create a Gist API as a single MCP tool. It allows AI assistants or any MCP client to programmatically create Gists on a GitHub account using a fine-grained personal access token.

How to use mcp-server-gist?

Configure the server in your MCP client by pointing to its build/index.js file with Node.js and setting the GITHUB_GIST_TOKEN environment variable to your GitHub token. Once connected, invoke the create-gist tool with the required inputs: gistContent (string), isPublic (boolean, defaults to false), and an optional filename (string, auto-generated if omitted). The tool returns the URL of the newly created Gist.

Key features of mcp-server-gist

  • Creates a Gist via the GitHub API.
  • Supports both public and secret Gists.
  • Automatically generates a filename if not provided.
  • Returns the URL of the created Gist.
  • Uses a fine-grained personal access token for authentication.

Use cases of mcp-server-gist

  • An AI coding assistant shares code snippets as public Gists.
  • A workflow tool saves logs or outputs as secret Gists.
  • A developer integrates Gist creation into an MCP-based agent pipeline.
