MCP Easy Copy

MCP Easy Copy is a dedicated server that makes it simple to discover and copy all available MCP services configured for Claude Desktop. It reads your Claude Desktop setup, gathers the names of configured MCP services, and presents them in a quick, copy-friendly list at the top of the tools area so you can explicitly instruct Claude to use a specific service when needed.

How to use

After you install MCP Easy Copy, it appears at the top of Claude Desktop’s tools list with a copy-friendly, numbered format. Use it in two ways: either pick a service from the top list in the tools area, or prompt Claude to reference a specific service by name. This helps when you have many services or when you need to force a particular action.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing: Node.js (recommended LTS version) and npm.

# Option 1: Install globally via npm (recommended)
npm install -g @fishes/mcp-easy-copy

# Then configure Claude Desktop to load the server (example shown below)

Additional setup for manual installation

If you prefer to build from source, follow these steps to prepare and run MCP Easy Copy locally, then connect Claude Desktop to the built server.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/f-is-h/mcp-easy-copy.git
cd mcp-easy-copy

# Install dependencies and build
npm install
npm run build

# Start the server manually if needed (example)
npx -y @fishes/mcp-easy-copy

Troubleshooting and tips

If you run into issues, restart Claude Desktop after configuration changes, ensure your JSON config is valid, and verify Node.js is installed with node --version. Use the MCP Inspector during development to help diagnose service availability and naming.

Notes and best practices

MCP Easy Copy focuses on presenting available MCP services in a concise, copy-ready format. It’s especially helpful when many services are configured or when you need to force Claude to use a particular service for testing or troubleshooting.
