Clipboard MCP provides an MCP server that retrieves image content from the macOS clipboard for downstream processing. It enables you to feed clipboard images directly into Claude Code workflows for quick analysis, debugging, or code reviews without manual file handling.

How to use

To use this MCP server with Claude Code, add it to your MCP client using a short command. This registers the clipboard server so Claude can send clipboard image data for processing.

Add the clipboard MCP server to Claude Code with the following command: claude mcp add clipboard go run github.com/oxplot/clipboard-mcp@latest.

Once added, copy an image to your macOS clipboard. Then ask Claude something about the clipboard content, for example: “what’s wrong with the code in the clipboard?” Claude will route the clipboard image to the MCP server for analysis.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing and using Clipboard MCP:

Go programming language installed on your machine
Access to Claude Code CLI (or the MCP client you use)
macOS with a clipboard image you want to analyze

Step-by-step setup:

# 1) Ensure Go is installed
# 2) Add the Clipboard MCP server to Claude Code
claude mcp add clipboard go run github.com/oxplot/clipboard-mcp@latest

# 3) (Optional) Start the server directly if you want to run it outside Claude Code
# This runs the server locally; Claude Code can still add it via the command above
go run github.com/oxplot/clipboard-mcp@latest
