@dayby/mcp-server

Post your dev progress to DayBy.dev from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — with local sanitization so your company secrets never leave your machine.

How It Works

draft_post → sanitized locally, never touches network
           → Claude shows you a clean preview
           → you approve
           → publish_post → DayBy API (sanitized content only)

The raw context from your codebase never touches the network. Only the sanitized, approved version gets published.

Tools

What Gets Stripped (Automatically)

• API keys, tokens, secrets

• AWS ARNs and access keys

• Private IP addresses

• Email addresses

• SSH keys, JWTs, GitHub tokens

• Database connection URLs

• File paths with usernames

• Plus anything you configure in blocklist

Setup

1. Install

Option A — npx (no install needed):

npx @dayby/mcp-server

Option B — global install:

npm install -g @dayby/mcp-server

Option C — from source:

git clone https://github.com/ja-roque/dayby-mcp-server.git
cd dayby-mcp-server
npm install && npm run build

2. Authenticate

Run the auth command to connect your DayBy account:

dayby-mcp auth

This opens your browser for a one-click authorization. Your token is saved locally at ~/.dayby/credentials.json.

To log out:

dayby-mcp auth --logout

Alternatively, you can set the DAYBY_API_KEY environment variable (from Settings > API on dayby.dev).

3. Add to your MCP client

Claude Code (simplest):

claude mcp add dayby -- dayby-mcp

Or with npx:

claude mcp add dayby -- npx @dayby/mcp-server

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dayby": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@dayby/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dayby": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@dayby/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

4. Configure Sanitizer (Optional but Recommended)

Create ~/.dayby/sanitizer.json:

{
  "blockedTerms": ["YourCompany", "ProjectCodename"],
  "blockedDomains": ["internal.yourcompany.com"],
  "blockedNames": ["Your Boss Name"],
  "customPatterns": ["JIRA-\\d+", "INTERNAL-\\d+"]
}

Usage Examples

While coding:

"I just figured out how to use PostgreSQL partial indexes to optimize a multi-tenant query. Draft a DayBy post about it."

After a PR:

"I built a rate limiter using Redis sorted sets today. Post it to DayBy."

Quick check:

"Check if this text has any sensitive data before I post it."

Claude will use draft_post to sanitize locally, show you a preview, and only publish when you approve.

Environment Variables

Troubleshooting

dayby-mcp: command not found after global install

Your npm global bin isn't in your PATH. Run:

source ~/.bashrc

Or add this to your ~/.bashrc / ~/.zshrc:

export PATH="$(npm bin -g):$PATH"

Then restart your terminal or run source ~/.bashrc again.

MCP server not showing up in Claude

Restart Claude Code / Claude Desktop after adding the MCP config.

Not authenticated errors

Run dayby-mcp auth to connect your account, or set DAYBY_API_KEY in your environment.
