-# Temporary Holding Version
+# syncduck
 
-This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
+Share files and text from the terminal and get a link back. Works on Linux, macOS and Windows
+(Node 20+), and lets AI agents hand files to each other over MCP.
+
+```bash
+npx syncduck report.pdf            # uploads, prints the link (and copies it)
+npx syncduck a.png b.png           # several files, shared as one ZIP (max 20)
+cat build.log | npx syncduck       # share text from stdin
+npx syncduck get abc12 -o ./in     # download a link or slug into ./in
+npx syncduck rm abc12 <token>      # delete with the token printed at upload
+```
+
+Install once with `npm i -g syncduck`, then drop the `npx`.
+
+Flags: `--ttl 1h|1d|3d` (default 3d) · `--once` (the first download deletes it) · `--password p` ·
+`--note text` · `--no-copy` · `-o dir` (for `get`).
+
+**Output:** stdout is only the link, so `syncduck f | pbcopy` and `url=$(syncduck f)` work. The `get`
+command line, the delete token and the one-time warning go to stderr. The link is also copied to the
+clipboard (pbcopy, clip, wl-copy or xclip) unless you pass `--no-copy`.
+
+**One-time links:** the first download deletes the share. Never open the link to check it.
+
+`--password` shows up in the process list while the command runs; for anything sensitive prefer a
+share without a password plus `--once`, or run it on a machine only you use.
+
+Set `SYNCDUCK_URL` to use another syncDuck server. Everything is anonymous; server rate limits apply.
+
+## For AI agents (MCP)
+
+Add the server to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "syncduck": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "syncduck", "mcp"] }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Tools: `share_file`, `share_text`, `fetch_share`, `delete_share`. One agent calls `share_file` and gets a
+link; the other calls `fetch_share` with that link and gets the file on its own disk (in a new private
+temp folder; the tool cannot choose where files are written). Fetched content is returned labelled as
+untrusted data, and `share_file` refuses credential folders such as `~/.ssh` and `~/.aws`.
+
+`share_file` can read any local path the agent names. Approve MCP calls the way you would approve a shell
+command, and use `once` plus a `password` for anything private.
+
+## Without the package (curl)
+
+```bash
+curl -F file=@x.zip https://syncduck.sametsarikaya.com/api/upload.php
+curl -F 'files[]=@a.png' -F 'files[]=@b.png' https://syncduck.sametsarikaya.com/api/upload.php
+curl -F file=@x.zip -F is_one_time=1 -F ttl=1h https://syncduck.sametsarikaya.com/api/upload.php
+curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"content":"hi"}' https://syncduck.sametsarikaya.com/api/paste.php
+curl 'https://syncduck.sametsarikaya.com/api/file.php?slug=abc12'   # JSON with downloadUrl
+```
+
+Password-protected shares are read with the header `X-Password: <url-encoded password>`.
