Sharedoc MCP

An MCP stdio server - works in Claude Code, Codex CLI, and any MCP client - that gives your agent 9 tools to publish, update, search, and revoke shareable documents. Two pluggable backends behind one interface: gist (zero setup, rides your logged-in gh CLI) and selfhost (SQLite on your machine, passwords, enforced expiry).

People connecting this server to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
