Self-host drop — run artifact sharing on your own Vercel + domain

Unlike hosted publish services, drop has no central server to depend on. You clone it, point it at your own Vercel Blob and domain, and run it forever.

One click: Deploy to Vercel

Vercel clones the repo and provisions a Blob store automatically — it injects BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN, and the app derives its own store from that token, so your instance works the moment the deploy finishes (on a free *.vercel.app URL, or attach your own domain). Self-host is token-only, free, and unlimited — no account on drops required.

Point your CLI + agents at it

Once it's live, connect your terminal:

npx drops-cli setup            # pulls the Blob token from your Vercel project
drop init --domain drops.yoursite.com   # optional: your own domain

Now drop report.html and the MCP server publish to your infra.

Or wire it from your terminal

git clone https://github.com/maxtechera/drops-share && cd drops-share
vercel link && vercel blob store add drops
node skill/drop.mjs deploy --domain drops.yoursite.com

One-tap connect (opt-in)

Rather not touch the Vercel dashboard? Sign in with Vercel can create the project, Blob store, env, and deploy for you, then hand back a CLI key. (Enabled once this instance registers a Vercel OAuth app.)

Drop it

drop file.html — or a PDF, markdown, image, or any file — from your terminal or any AI agent.

Branded & encrypted

Your logo, OG card, and badge are baked in, then it's AES-256 encrypted client-side behind your unlock gate.

Live on your domain

Uploaded to your Vercel Blob and served at yourdomain.com/slug. URL + password on your clipboard.

FAQ

Is it really open-source and self-hosted?

Yes — MIT licensed, and it runs on your own Vercel Blob + domain. No third party ever holds your content (it's encrypted client-side) or controls your URL.

What does it cost to self-host?

Just your Vercel Blob usage — typically pennies, often free-tier. No drop fee.
