What its tools let an agent do: 1 read

Install Paste in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y @pasteapp/mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

claude mcp add paste -- npx -y @pasteapp/mcp

Paste MCP

Local MCP server for Paste. 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.

Install

Use add-mcp to connect Paste to all your installed AI apps:

npx add-mcp @pasteapp/mcp

The first time an app uses Paste, it'll ask you to authenticate and allow access.

Alternatively, connect Paste to each app manually:

Claude Code

claude mcp add paste -- npx -y @pasteapp/mcp

Codex

codex mcp add paste -- npx -y @pasteapp/mcp

Cursor

VS Code

Connect from Paste

You can also connect any app right inside Paste. Open Settings → MCP & AI Tools, click Connect AI Tool, and choose your app — Paste does the rest.

Privacy Policy

Paste MCP runs locally on your Mac — it bridges your AI app to Paste's on-device server and sends nothing to Paste's own servers. Your clipboard items only reach the AI apps you approve, and you can revoke access anytime in Settings → MCP & AI Tools.

Full policy — what data is processed, how it's stored, sharing, retention, and contact: https://pasteapp.io/privacy.

Troubleshooting

The AI tool says Paste isn't available. Make sure Paste is running and MCP is enabled in Settings → MCP & AI Tools.

Tools don't show up after connecting. Fully quit and reopen your AI app so it relaunches the server.

npx errors or "command not found". Confirm Node.js 18+ is installed: node --version.

Requirements

macOS with Paste 6.6+, and MCP enabled in Settings → MCP & AI Tools
Node.js 18+
