Clipboard Mcp Server

Overview

Clipboard Mcp Server is a Model Context Protocol server that lets you read, write, and inspect the system clipboard across macOS, Linux (X11/Wayland), and Windows through MCP. Instead of manually copying and pasting between applications, AI assistants can now call clipboard operations as native tools.

It runs locally via the npm package @cyanheads/clipboard-mcp-server, speaking MCP over stdio on your machine. No authentication is required—just install and go. The latest release is v0.1.8, distributed under the Apache-2.0 license with source code available at cyanheads/clipboard-mcp-server on GitHub.

Clipboard Mcp Server is listed in the AI & Agents category and works with any MCP client, including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this project, claim this listing to verify your ownership, earn the Verified badge, and keep information up to date.
