📓 GistPad MCP
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
Using VS Code?
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!
Open the
GistPadtab and sign-in with your GitHub account. After that, you can begin using GistPad from Copilot chat (inAgentmode) without doing any extra setup or token management 💪
