Security Report
This is a well-engineered OAuth bridge for a local macOS clipboard application. The code implements proper OAuth 2.0 PKCE flow with strong security controls (loopback redirect validation, state CSRF tokens, secure token storage with 0o600 permissions). Minor areas for improvement include broader error handling and avoiding unsafe browser-opening patterns on non-macOS systems, but these do not constitute real vulnerabilities. Permissions are appropriate for the stated purpose. Supply chain analysis found 3 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

Paste MCP
Local MCP server for Paste. Give Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other AI tools access to your Mac's clipboard history and pinboards — without anything leaving your device.
Your assistant can search your clipboard items, pull one into context, or save its output to a pinboard.
Install
Use add-mcp to connect Paste to all your installed AI apps:
npx add-mcp @pasteapp/mcp
The first time an app uses Paste, it'll ask you to authenticate and allow access.
Alternatively, connect Paste to each app manually:
Claude Code
claude mcp add paste -- npx -y @pasteapp/mcp
Codex
codex mcp add paste -- npx -y @pasteapp/mcp
Cursor
VS Code
Connect from Paste
You can also connect any app right inside Paste. Open Settings → MCP & AI Tools, click Connect AI Tool, and choose your app — Paste does the rest.
Privacy Policy
Paste MCP runs locally on your Mac — it bridges your AI app to Paste's on-device server and sends nothing to Paste's own servers. Your clipboard items only reach the AI apps you approve, and you can revoke access anytime in Settings → MCP & AI Tools.
Full policy — what data is processed, how it's stored, sharing, retention, and contact: https://pasteapp.io/privacy.
Troubleshooting
The AI tool says Paste isn't available. Make sure Paste is running and MCP is enabled in Settings → MCP & AI Tools.
Tools don't show up after connecting. Fully quit and reopen your AI app so it relaunches the server.
