Perplexity

Search past clips in Claude Desktop

The `search_clipboard_history` tool parses your local exports from managers like CopyQ or Maccy directly. You feed the file path to Claude, and it scans every text entry you saved. Stop wasting time hunting for that one specific URL or snippet. You get the exact content you need without leaving the Claude Desktop interface.

Read JSON or text history files

Claude Desktop accepts your history exports in either plain text or structured JSON. It interprets the data instantly so you can query your own history. This MCP server treats your clipboard as a searchable database. Just ask Claude to find the code block you copied yesterday, and it pulls the data right from your file.

Connect history to your chat

Once you link the server, your clipboard history becomes a live context window. Claude Desktop uses the tool to filter through thousands of entries in a single pass. It doesn't matter how long the list is. You get immediate answers based on what you actually copied, not what you remember copying.
