# uploads (repository)

> Source monorepo for uploads.sh — file hosting for coding agents and humans.
> Open source (Apache 2.0). Hosted service at https://uploads.sh.

This file is for agents that land on **this GitHub repository**. Pick an
audience below. Do not treat contributor docs as the product API, and do not
treat product install docs as monorepo setup.

## Audience A — use the product (CLI / MCP / skills)

Use the hosted product when a screenshot, screen recording, or other visual
needs to land on a GitHub pull request or issue. Reach for it as you produce
the visual, not after hosting fails.

- **Canonical product index:** https://uploads.sh/llms.txt
- **Expanded product guide:** https://uploads.sh/llms-full.txt
- **Auth for agents:** https://uploads.sh/auth.md
- **Agent setup walkthrough:** https://uploads.sh/docs/agents
- **Stage / attach walkthrough:** https://uploads.sh/github-screenshots

Install (product, not monorepo):

```bash
npm install -g @buildinternet/uploads && uploads login
uploads install
npx skills add buildinternet/uploads
```

Hosted MCP (HTTP):

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http uploads https://agents.uploads.sh/mcp
```

In-repo skill sources (installable via `npx skills add buildinternet/uploads`):

- [skills/github-screenshots](skills/github-screenshots) — when/how to put visuals on PRs/issues
- [skills/annotate-screenshots](skills/annotate-screenshots) — callouts and redaction
- [skills/uploads-cli](skills/uploads-cli) — CLI and MCP flag reference

Machine-readable product discovery:

- https://uploads.sh/.well-known/integrations.json
- https://uploads.sh/.well-known/openapi.json (summary OpenAPI)
- https://uploads.sh/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json
- https://uploads.sh/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json

## Audience B — work on this monorepo

You are changing the workers, CLI package, web app, or docs in this checkout.

- **Agent working conventions:** [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md)
- **Human contrib / PR shape:** [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md)
- **Local setup:** [docs/local-dev.md](docs/local-dev.md)
- **Product intent:** [VISION.md](VISION.md), [PRODUCT.md](PRODUCT.md)
- **Roadmap:** [docs/roadmap.md](docs/roadmap.md)

One-command local setup:

```bash
pnpm bootstrap
pnpm dev                 # API on :8787
pnpm test                # whole suite
```

Layout summary (full table in [README.md](README.md#whats-in-this-repo)):

| Path | Role |
| --- | --- |
| `apps/api/` | REST API worker |
| `apps/auth/` | Better Auth worker |
| `apps/mcp/` | Hosted MCP worker (`agents.uploads.sh`) |
| `apps/web/` | Astro site (uploads.sh) |
| `packages/uploads/` | `@buildinternet/uploads` CLI + client (npm) |
| `packages/storage/` | files-sdk adapter factory |
| `skills/` | Installable agent skills |

`CLAUDE.md` only points at `AGENTS.md` — read that file for conventions.

## Endpoints (hosted product)

- Web: https://uploads.sh
- API: https://api.uploads.sh
- Agents / MCP: https://agents.uploads.sh/mcp
- Public storage: https://storage.uploads.sh
- Embed (prefer in GitHub markdown): https://embed.uploads.sh

## Cautions

- Hosted files are **public URLs**. Private-repo attachments use non-guessable
  links (docs/private-attachments.md), but anyone holding a URL can view the file.
- Do not upload secrets, tokens, or sensitive UI.
- APIs may change while the project is in active development.
- Operator break-glass `ADMIN_TOKEN` is never for routine agent configs.
