Overview

What is Clipboard MCP Server?

Clipboard MCP Server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows LLM models (like Claude Code) to save relevant output directly to your system clipboard for immediate use. It works with any MCP-compatible client that supports SSE transport, such as Claude Code and LM Studio.

How to use Clipboard MCP Server?

Set up the server using the automatic setup.sh script or manually (create a Python virtual environment, install from requirements.txt, and install xclip on Linux). Run the server with ./start.sh or python server.py (default port 3001). Add the appropriate SSE URL configuration (e.g., http://localhost:3001/sse) to your MCP client configuration file (e.g., ~/.claude.json for Claude Code).
