What is Clipboard MCP Server?

Clipboard MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server specifically designed to handle system clipboard operations. It enables AI assistants to access and modify the user's clipboard content, just as if the user were using the copy - paste function themselves.

How to use Clipboard MCP Server?

After adding this server by configuring the MCP client (such as Claude Desktop), the AI assistant can use two simple tools: getting the clipboard content and setting the clipboard content. This allows the AI to help you process text data, such as formatting content, extracting information, or saving important text.

Applicable scenarios

It is very useful when you need AI to help process the text in the clipboard. For example: formatting copied code, organizing copied data, translating clipboard content, extracting key information, or saving important text from a conversation to the clipboard.

Main features

Cross - platform support
Supports the three major operating systems: macOS, Windows, and Linux. Each platform uses native commands for optimal compatibility.
Bidirectional clipboard operations
Provides two operations: reading and writing. The AI can get the current clipboard content and also set the processed content to the clipboard.
Lightweight implementation
Based on the Deno runtime, it does not require complex dependencies, is easy to configure, and starts quickly.
Security permission control
Controls access to system commands through Deno's permission system to ensure security.
Advantages
Seamless integration: Perfectly integrates with AI assistants without the need for manual copy - paste
Platform adaptation: Automatically detects the operating system and uses the corresponding commands
Easy to use: Just a simple configuration is required to start using
Real - time interaction: The AI can immediately respond to changes in the clipboard content
Limitations
Linux requires the additional installation of the xclip or xsel tool
Only supports text content, does not support images or files
Requires a Deno runtime environment
Relies on system clipboard commands and may not be compatible in some special environments

How to use

Install Deno
First, ensure that the Deno runtime environment is installed on the system. Visit the Deno official website for installation instructions.
Linux users install dependencies
If you are using a Linux system, you need to install the xclip or xsel tool.
Configure the MCP client
Add the clipboard server configuration to your MCP client configuration file.
Restart the client
Restart the MCP client (such as Claude Desktop) for the configuration to take effect.
Start using
Now you can ask the AI assistant to read or set the clipboard content.

Usage cases

Text formatting assistant
You copied a text with messy formatting. Let the AI help organize the format and copy it back to the clipboard.
Code snippet processing
You copied a piece of code but need to add comments or make modifications. Let the AI assist in processing.
Data extraction and organization
You copied text containing multiple items from a web page and need to extract key information.
Multilingual translation assistant
You copied foreign - language text and need to translate it. Let the AI translate it and copy the result.
