Vnsh Overview

The vnsh MCP server gives AI agents shared workspaces for reading, writing, versioning, and handing off content through links. It runs as an npm-based MCP process and exposes workspace, artifact, sharing, history, restore, and renewal operations. Encrypted workspaces keep keys in URL fragments so the service stores ciphertext, while public workspaces trade privacy for ordinary HTTP access. Reach for it when multiple agents or people need to work from the same evolving document instead of exchanging snapshots.

Primary Use Cases for Vnsh:
  • Share incident reports between agents and people
  • Hand off evolving documents between AI coding tools
  • Upload build output or failing test logs from CI
  • Exchange files through encrypted, expiring links
