What is MCP Easy Copy?

MCP Easy Copy is a Model Context Protocol server that automatically reads the Claude Desktop configuration file, extracts the names of all configured MCP services, and presents them in an easy-to-copy numbered list at the top of the tools list. It is designed for users who need to explicitly specify an MCP service name when the tools list is long or when manual selection is preferred over automatic service selection.

How to use MCP Easy Copy?
