MCP Server GitHub Gist — Manage Gists from Your AI Assistant

An MCP server to create, read, update, and search GitHub Gists without leaving your AI assistant. The official GitHub MCP server handles repos and issues — this one fills the Gist gap.

You: "Save this code snippet as a gist called 'auth-middleware.ts'"
AI:  ✅ Created secret gist: https://gist.github.com/abc123

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code Copilot.
