Description

GistPad MCP provides an MCP-compatible server for browsing, creating, updating, archiving, and commenting on GitHub Gists, and exposes gists as resources via a gist:/// URI scheme. It supports daily notes, starred/archived gist handling, and a prompts collection stored in a dedicated gist for reusable parameterized prompts. Clients can execute tools to manage files, comments, stars, and prompts or subscribe to gist resources for updates. It integrates with the GistPad VS Code extension and GistPad.dev for a seamless editing and sync experience.
