CrossPaste MCP server

CrossPaste is a clipboard manager that keeps a history of everything you copy and shares it across your devices. This MCP server is the part that lets your AI assistant look inside that history. It is handy if you copy a lot during the day and want your AI to find or reuse things you copied earlier.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like find the link I copied this morning. The AI passes that request to this helper, which looks through your CrossPaste clipboard history on your own computer. If the item you want is an image, the helper can read the text inside it using the built-in OCR, which turns pictures of words into real text. The AI then tells you what it found, or adds a new item to your clipboard history if you asked for that.

What you can do with it

• Search your clipboard history by keyword or type
• Read the text inside a copied image or screenshot
• Add a new item to your clipboard history
• Find a link, color, or piece of text you copied earlier
• Pull up recently copied items across your devices

Try asking your AI

• “Search my clipboard history for anything with the word invoice”
• “What was the last link I copied?”
• “Read the text from the screenshot I copied a few minutes ago”
• “Add this address to my clipboard history: 12 Baker Street, London”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat, usually as a short list of matching items or a summary of what was found. For images, you get the text that was inside them. If you asked it to add something, it confirms the new item was saved to your clipboard history.
