Connects your AI assistant directly to the GitHub Gists API with full CRUD operations: create, read, update, delete, list, star, and search gists without switching contexts. You get eight tools that map cleanly to the Gist endpoints, including pagination for listing and starred gists. Requires a GitHub personal access token with gist scope. Useful when you're iterating on code snippets with Claude or Cursor and want to save them as gists immediately, or when you need to pull existing gists into your conversation without opening a browser. Fills the gap left by GitHub's official MCP server, which focuses on repos and issues but skips gists entirely.
