Frequently asked questions

What does the Opengist MCP server do?

Read, search, create, update and delete gists on your own Opengist instance — the self-hosted pastebin powered by Git. File contents and revisions, commit history, forks and likes. Bounded results, untrusted-content markers, and a server-issued confirmation token on everything that deletes or publishes. npx -y opengist-mcp

Is the Opengist MCP server free?

The server is free, but you will likely need an account. The server itself is free, but it connects to a service that needs an account or API key, which may have paid tiers. Check the provider for current pricing.

Does Opengist run locally or remotely?

Local. Runs on your machine (stdio). You install it with npx, uvx, Docker or from source.

How do I add Opengist to Claude Code?

Run: claude mcp add opengist -e OPENGIST_URL=... -e OPENGIST_TOKEN=... -- npx -y opengist-mcp
