Paste MCP
Paste MCP
Local MCP server for Paste (https://pasteapp.io) — give Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other AI tools access to your Mac's clipboard history and pinboards, without anything leaving your device.
Your assistant can search your clipboard items, pull one into context, or save its output to a pinboard.
Tools
Search clipboard history, read copied items, save new items, create pinboards, add items to pinboards, and list pinboards.
Install
Use add-mcp to connect Paste to all your installed AI apps: npx add-mcp @pasteapp/mcp
Or connect from inside Paste: Settings → MCP & AI Tools → Connect AI Tool.
AI tools can connect to Paste only after you approve access. You can remove access in Paste settings at any time.
Requirements
macOS with Paste 6.6+ and MCP enabled in Settings → MCP & AI Tools. Node.js 18+.
Example prompts
Check what I copied today and give me a brief work recap. Find the links I saved this week and summarize the useful points. Create a pinboard with the items I copied for this topic.
