What tools does sniptide expose?
This server runs as a local package. We only query remote servers for their tool list — asking this one would mean executing it, so its tools are listed in the documentation below.
What the code can do
Read from the published package source — never executed. Parsed 1 of 1 source file.
This server can make network requests and read your environment variables.
How it was published
- Published by a verified CI identity (github trusted publishing) rather than a personal token.
- Has a provenance attestation tying this artifact to the commit it was built from.
- 1 npm maintainer — a single point of compromise · last published by GitHub Actions.
Maintainer of this package and think something here is wrong? Tell us and we'll correct it.
Before you install
Signals gathered from the source repo and package registry — not a safety verdict.
What it can reach
- Runs code on your machine — Executes as a local process with your user's permissions, including filesystem access.
- Downloads at launch — The package is fetched from its registry each run unless you pin a version.
- Last commit today — Actively maintained.
- Repository created 1 month ago — Very new project with little track record yet.
- 6 GitHub stars — Very little community usage so far.

Documentation
Full READMESniptide
A self-hostable pastebin for code snippets, configs, and secrets. Share multi-file pastes with passwords, expiry, or burn-after-read links. Organize reusable snippets in collections, sync .env files, and connect coding agents through the CLI or MCP server.
Self-host
Run Sniptide and Postgres with Docker Compose:
git clone https://github.com/Dino-Kupinic/sniptide.git
cd sniptide
printf 'BETTER_AUTH_SECRET=%s\nBETTER_AUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -dOpen localhost:3000 and create an account. Use your public HTTPS URL for BETTER_AUTH_URL when deploying to a server. See the self-hosting guide for HTTPS, configuration, backups, and upgrades.
The official Docker image supports AMD64 and ARM64 at ghcr.io/dino-kupinic/sniptide.
Connect a coding agent
Add the MCP server to Claude Code, which signs you in to Sniptide in the browser through OAuth:
claude mcp add --transport http sniptide https://app.sniptide.com/api/mcpFor a client without OAuth, create a token in Settings, API tokens, and pass it with --header "Authorization: Bearer $SNIPTIDE_TOKEN".
Use <your-instance-url>/api/mcp on a self-hosted instance. The MCP guide covers Cursor and a local server, and the CLI installs a collection as an agent skill. This repository is also an Agent Plugin: plugin.json bundles the MCP servers in mcp.json with the skills in skills/.
