# hushdrop

Turns a file your agent built into a password-protected link on your own domain. Handy when client work needs to leave your machine as a URL.

## What it does

hushdrop ships an MCP server plus the `hush` CLI. Point it at a file and you get back a link. AES-256 encryption and branding run client-side, so the server only ever holds ciphertext, and the page carries your colors and logo.

Nine MCP tools are exposed, `publish_html` among them. The `npx hushdrop-install` script registers the `drops` server with whichever agents it finds and puts `hush` on your `PATH`. Self-hosting needs a `BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN` from Vercel Blob; without it the server won't start. Options include `--expire 7d`, `--burn` for a link that dies on first view, and `--email-gate acme.com` to restrict viewers by mail domain.

MIT licensed, no database to run. Anonymous drops need no account, though persistent links under your handle require a GitHub or magic-link login. If client files are involved, self-hosting keeps the storage yours — that's the real difference from closed services.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Environment variables: `BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.
