Pastea MCP
Local MCP server for Pastea. Give Claude, Cursor, Codex, VS Code and other AI tools access to your Mac's clipboard history — without anything leaving your Mac.
Your assistant can search what you copied, pull a clip into context (including the text Pastea reads inside your screenshots), and put a clip back on the clipboard for you to paste.
Pastea runs the MCP server itself, on 127.0.0.1 only. This package is the thin, dependency-free bridge that AI apps launch: it finds Pastea, asks it for access once — you click Allow in Pastea — and relays messages over stdio.
Install
Claude Desktop
One click from Pastea: open Settings → MCP & AI Tools, turn on Enable MCP, and click Claude Desktop. Claude Desktop opens with the Pastea extension ready to install.
Or find Pastea in Claude Desktop under Settings → Extensions → Browse extensions, or download pastea-mcp-.mcpb from the latest release and double-click it.
The first time Claude uses it, Pastea asks you to allow the connection.
Every other AI app
Use add-mcp to connect Pastea to all your installed AI apps at once:
npx add-mcp @pastea/mcpOr connect each app yourself:
Claude Code
claude mcp add pastea -- npx -y @pastea/mcpCodex
codex mcp add pastea -- npx -y @pastea/mcpCursor
VS Code
Anything else that runs stdio MCP servers:
{ "mcpServers": { "pastea": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@pastea/mcp"] } } }The first time an app uses Pastea, Pastea shows "Allow <app> to use your clipboard history?" — click Allow and the tools appear.
Connect from Pastea
Every app above can also be connected from inside Pastea — Settings → MCP & AI Tools, click the app's chip. Cursor and VS Code open an install prompt; Claude Code, Windsurf and Codex get the exact command or config to paste, already carrying an access token, so no pairing prompt is needed.
What your assistant can do
An AI tool can never delete a clip, never pastes into another app, and never sees items Pastea conceals (from password managers).
How pairing works
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
