Opengist tools (14, 4 write)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • check_gist_like

    Report whether the token owner has liked the given gist. Also distinguishes "not liked" from "not visible to you".

  • create_gistwrite action

    Create a new gist from one or more files. Topics cannot be set through the API.

  • delete_gistwrite action

    Permanently delete a gist. This is irreversible: the git repository with every revision and the database row are destroyed.

  • delete_gist_fileswrite action

    Delete one or more files from a gist. The files disappear from the current revision; older revisions keep them in the git history.

  • fork_gist

    Fork somebody else's gist into your own account. Forking a gist you

  • get_gist

    Get one gist including its file contents. Commit history and forks are omitted unless requested.

  • get_gist_file

    Get the raw content of a single file of a gist, optionally at a specific revision and starting at a byte offset.

  • get_user

    Get an Opengist user account. Without arguments this returns the account the access token belongs to (including its email);

  • list_gist_commits

    List the commit history of a gist, most recent first. Use a commit SHA from here with get_gist or get_gist_file to read an older revision.

  • list_gist_forks

    List the gists that were forked from the given gist.

  • list_gists

    List gists on the Opengist instance: your own, a specific user's, all public ones, or the ones you (or a user) liked or forked.

  • search_gists

    Find gists by title, description, topics or owner.

  • set_gist_like

    Like or unlike a gist. Idempotent: the current state is read first and the gist is only toggled when it differs,

  • update_gistwrite action

    Change the metadata of a gist and/or write and rename files.

What the publisher says

From the Opengist repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

opengist-mcp

<!-- badges: start -->

<!-- badges: end -->

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Opengist, the self-hosted pastebin powered by Git.

Lets MCP clients like Claude Code, Claude Desktop or Codex read, search, create, update and delete gists on your own Opengist instance: file contents and revisions, commit history, forks and likes, plus your user account.

Fourteen tools is the ceiling, not the floor: OPENGISTALLOWTOOLS=essential registers a curated seven instead, and a model picks the right tool far more reliably from seven than from fourteen — see choosing which tools load.

<!-- is resolved against the colour scheme of the page showing it, so GitHub picks the variant that matches its own theme toggle. npm strips and when it sanitises the README and keeps the , which is why that fallback brings its own dark card instead of relying on a media query. -->

Note: this server talks to the Opengist REST API under /api, which is available in recent Opengist releases and enabled by default (api.enabled). A running instance serves its own OpenAPI spec at GET /api/openapi.yaml — compare it against your version if a tool behaves unexpectedly.

What makes it different

Fourteen tools over one API surface, derived from the Opengist REST API and verified against a live instance: reading, searching, writing, forking and liking gists, including revisions, commit history and raw file access.

Bounded by construction. File contents are capped per file and against an overall budget, binary files are never dumped as text, and every truncation names the call that fetches the rest.

Requirements

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
