📓 Gist MCP

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

Why rewrite

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

Usage

Before building, you must install go 1.24+ first.

Copy & paste — that's it

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:

Copy & paste — that's it

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

VS Code Editor Integration

Copy & paste — that's it

  "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.
