• Node.js 18+
• PowerShell 5.1+ (Standard on Windows)

Setup

1. Install Dependencies:

   npm install
   

2. Configure Claude: Add the following to your ~/.claude/config.json (create it if it doesn't exist):

         "args": ["C:\\path\\to\\claude-paste-mcp\\src\\index.js"]
       }
     }
   }
   

   Note: Replace C:\\path\\to\\... with the actual absolute path to this folder.

Usage

1. Open Claude CLI or Desktop.

2. Type a prompt that triggers the tool, for example:

   "I'm seeing a bug, here is the screenshot: /pic"

   Note: Use /pic (slash command) instead of @pic.

3. A Windows Popup will appear.

4. Press Ctrl+V to paste content. Supported formats:

   • Images (screenshots, copied images)
   • Excel tables (copied cells from Excel/Google Sheets)
   • Rich Text (formatted text from Word, etc.)
   • Plain Text

5. You can paste multiple items. Select items to preview or delete.

6. Click Confirm.
