## What it is
ByteStash is a self-hosted web application for storing, organizing, and managing code snippets, built with React and Node.js/Express. It supports snippet creation, editing, language/content filtering, JWT and OIDC authentication, and an MCP endpoint so AI assistants can search and manage snippets.

## Use cases
- self-host a code snippet manager
- store and organize code snippets
- search snippets by language or content
- let AI assistants access my snippets via MCP
- replace pastebin with a private snippet storage
- manage snippets with single sign-on

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, private alternative to pastebin or gists
- you need snippet search and filtering with a web UI
- you want AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT to retrieve your snippets
- you prefer Docker or one-click hosting on Unraid/PikaPods

## When to avoid
- you need full git-based versioning of snippets
- you want a hosted service with no self-hosting
- you need team collaboration features like sharing or comments

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: search-engine, auth, mcp, http-server, api-framework
- domain: developer-tools, self-hosted, web-development
- platform: self-hosted, windows
- tags: code-snippets, snippet-manager, pastebin, react, express, sqlite, oidc, swagger, docker, web-server, nodejs, linux, macos
