Plugins Server provides a proxy server for Typing Mind's Plugins. A proxy server is needed for complex use cases where a server is required for processing data that cannot be done from the client side in Typing Mind.

Plugins Server is used by some built-in plugins on Typing Mind (e.g., Web Page Reader). Other plugins can also make use of the existing endpoints of the Plugins Server if needed. New endpoints can be added via Pull Requests.

Plugins Server is open-sourced and is intended to be self-hosted by individual users for private use only.

Two simple steps:

1. Deploy this repo on any hosting provider that supports NodeJS (e.g., Render.com, AWS, etc.). (We also provide a Dockerfile for easy deployment on Docker-supported hosting providers)
2. Use the server endpoint URL in your Settings page of Typing Mind's plugins.

Follow this guide for detailed instructions: How to Deploy Plugins Server on Render.com

After deploying, visit your Plugins Server URL to see the list of available endpoints (served in Swagger UI).

Here are the latest endpoints from our public servers: https://plugins.typingmind.com/ (Note: this public server only hosts the API documentation. You cannot use this Public Server as your proxy. You must deploy your own Plugins Server to use all the available endpoints).

• Development Mode: To start the project in development mode, execute the following command in your terminal:

npm install
