Hushdrop documentation

Everything to run open-source artifact sharing on your own domain.

Quick start — install into your agent

The core way to use Hushdrop is from your agent — it publishes what it builds to your own domain.

Claude Code (recommended — auto-updates via the plugin marketplace):

/plugin marketplace add maxtechera/hushdrop
/plugin install hushdrop

Cursor · Codex · Copilot · Gemini · 20+ Agent Skills hosts:

npx skills add maxtechera/hushdrop

Or one file straight from your terminal — no install, no account (auto-expires 24h):

npx hushdrop report.html --managed

Wire the MCP server directly

The plugin/skill above is the easy path. To wire the MCP server into every detected agent yourself:

npx hushdrop-install              # claude · codex · cursor · opencode · amp + PATH

Per-agent (manual):

claude mcp add hushdrop -- npx -y hushdrop-mcp
codex  mcp add hushdrop -- npx -y hushdrop-mcp

GUI clients (Cursor / Claude Desktop / Windsurf / Zed) — MCP config:

{ "mcpServers": { "hushdrop": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "hushdrop-mcp"] } } }

Run on your own domain

curl -fsSL https://hushdrop.dev/install.sh | sh
cd ~/.hushdrop-src && vercel link && vercel blob store add drops
hush deploy --domain share.yoursite.com

hush deploy discovers your blob host, wires middleware.js + vercel.json, writes your config + token, and ships it. --dry-run to preview, --no-deploy to stop before shipping.

CLI reference

hush file.html                 brand + lock + upload → clean URL
drop notes.md                  markdown → branded HTML
drop site.zip                  multi-file static site → /slug/

MCP server

Run: npx -y hushdrop-mcp (stdio). 9 tools:

  • publish_html(html, slug?, password?, lock?, expire?) — publish HTML, return URL
  • publish_file(path, slug?, page?, password?) — publish a file
  • update_site(slug, html, …) — replace content in place
  • list_sites() · delete_site(slug)
  • set_password · set_expiry · set_email_gate · set_feedback — tune a hosted Hushdrop after publish

For zero-knowledge managed drops the password is a publish-time param (content is encrypted client-side, so it can't be re-keyed). The set_* tools operate on hosted drops you own.

Managed HTTP API

The managed tier endpoint (used by --managed): POST /api/publish with the branded+encrypted bytes; header x-Hushdrop-content-type. Returns { url, slug, expires }. Caps: 512KB, HTML/text only, anonymous drops auto-expire in 24h. Self-host removes all caps.

Configuration

  • skill/brand/brand.json — name, colors, owner, social links (edit to rebrand)
  • ~/.Hushdrop/config.json — domain, blob host, project/org (written by hush init/deploy)
  • ~/.Hushdrop/.env — your BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN

Security

Locked drops are AES-256 encrypted client-side (StatiCrypt) — the server stores only ciphertext. Every drop is served x-robots-tag: noindex + strict CSP. See the security model.

FAQ

Is it really open-source and self-hosted?
Yes — MIT licensed, and it runs on your own Vercel Blob + domain. No third party ever holds your content (it's encrypted client-side) or controls your URL.
Is it zero-knowledge?
Locked drops are AES-256 encrypted in the browser via StatiCrypt before upload. The server stores only ciphertext — never your content or password.
Does it work with any AI agent?
Yes. It's a CLI plus a SKILL.md and an MCP server, so Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Gemini CLI — anything that runs a shell or speaks MCP — can use it.

Share what your AI builds — securely, on your terms.
