Show HN: GitHub has no API to put an image in a PR, so I built a place for one

GoDrop launched as a file-hosting service that turns an upload into a shareable URL in one request, addressing the lack of a GitHub API for attaching images to pull requests. The service requires no account for its free tier, which keeps files for 3 days at up to 20 MB, while a $5-a-month Pro plan keeps files indefinitely at up to 100 GB and 100 MB per file. GoDrop also ships an llms.txt file, an OpenAPI schema, a Model Context Protocol endpoint speaking revision 2026-07-28 with the tools upload_file, delete_file and storage_stats, and a macOS menu-bar app called GoDrop Shot requiring macOS 14 or later.

The problem

GoDrop turns a file into a URL in one request. No account, no SDK. The URL opens for anyone you send it to and cannot be guessed by anyone you do not.

One line, and every session after this one starts already knowing. It carries no key, on purpose: that file lands in a directory your repository commits.

no account unguessable gone in three days

Paste them into Claude Code, Cursor, or whatever you use. They last as long as the session does.

Proof

Every way in answers the same way #

?format=md answers with the line to paste into a pull request, writing an image so that it renders and anything else as a link:

curl -sS -F "file=@after.png" "https://godrop.sh/upload?format=md"
![after.png](https://godrop.sh/f/20260817-132258-336ba87c.../after.png)
    Leave the parameter off and the answer is JSON instead, with the URL
    at `.files[0].url` and the size and expiry beside it. Send
    several parts named `file` and they come back one to a
    line.

On a Mac

GoDrop Shot beta #

Download for Mac

    GoDrop Shot lives in the menu bar. Press `⌘``⇧`` U`
    and whatever is on your clipboard becomes a link, or right click a file in
    Finder and choose Upload to GoDrop. No account needed; macOS 14 or later,
    and it updates itself.

The rest

Every other door #

The service describes itself, so an agent that knows nothing but the hostname can work out the rest:

curl https://godrop.sh/llms.txt      # the whole API in plain text
curl https://godrop.sh/openapi.yaml  # machine-readable schema
    There is a Model Context Protocol endpoint too, speaking revision
    `2026-07-28`, with three tools: `upload_file`,
    `delete_file` and `storage_stats`. It is for an
    agent with no shell, because the bytes travel inside the call and are
    spent out of its context:
claude mcp add --transport http godrop https://godrop.sh/mcp

A file can be told to go sooner than the default, which is worth doing for anything an agent produces on the way to something else:

curl -F "file=@build.log" "https://godrop.sh/upload?expires=30m"
    Or as a header, `X-Expires-In: 30m`. Minutes, hours and days:
    `45m`, `2h`, `7d`.
