Github Gists (Gistpad)
April 6, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
Project:
https://github.com/lostintangent/gistpad-mcp
CLI Syntax:
claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user github-gists --env GITHUB_TOKEN="your-token-here" -- npx -y gistpad-mcp
Explanation
Refer: docs
https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp
The two double-dashes (--) divides between the Claude params and the MCP run commands
Hence it's:
-- npx
and not:
--npx
Even though - to Linux folks - the first looks wrong!
Note: this is for User scope.
Recommendation: create a PAT just for gists.
