📓 Gist MCP

A golang rewrite of GistPad MCP using the mark3labs/mcp-go library.

Usage

Before building, you must install go 1.24+ first.

git clone https://github.com/douglarek/gist-mcp.git
cd gist-mcp
go build -o gist-mcp ./cmd/gist-mcp/main.go

Cursor Editor Integration

To use this server in Cursor, you can add the following to your mcp.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unsplash": {
      "command": "<gist-mcp binary dir>",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "<your-github-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code Editor Integration

  "mcp": {
    "inputs": [
      {
        "type": "promptString",
        "id": "github-token",
        "description": "GitHub Token",
        "password": true
      }
    ],
    "servers": {
      "gist-mcp": {
        "type": "stdio",
        "command": "/home/douglarek/bin/gist-mcp",
        // "args": [
        //   "--debug"
        // ],
        "env": {
          "GITHUB_TOKEN": "${input:github-token}"
        }
      }
    }
  }

VS Code will prompt you for the github token when the server starts.

Why rewrite

Due to resource occupation and dependency issues, the Go implementation only needs to provide an executable binary.
