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.
