MCP Easy Copy is a lightweight server that surfaces all available MCP services for Claude Desktop, letting you copy and reference them quickly. It keeps you from hunting through configuration files by reading your Claude Desktop setup and presenting a ready-to-copy list of MCP services right at the top of the tools area.

How to use

You can use the MCP Easy Copy server in two practical ways. First, enable it as a tool in Claude Desktop so it appears at the top of your tools list. Second, ask Claude directly to list or reference the available MCP services. When you want explicit control, you can choose a specific service by referencing its exact MCP name.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js installed on your system. You can verify by running node --version and npm --version.

npm install -g @fishes/mcp-easy-copy

Add the MCP Easy Copy server to Claude Desktop configuration using the following snippet. This config runs the tool via npx so Claude can discover MCP services automatically.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-easy-copy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@fishes/mcp-easy-copy"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Alternatively, install Easy Copy via Smithery so Claude Desktop configures itself automatically.

npx -y @smithery/cli install @fisheepx/mcp-easy-copy --client claude

If you prefer manual setup, clone the project, install dependencies, build, and then reference the build output in Claude Desktop.

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

npm install
npm run build

Configure Claude Desktop to run the local build. Replace the absolute path with the location where you built the project.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-easy-copy": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/mcp_easy_copy/build/index.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

After adding the configuration, restart Claude Desktop to apply the changes.

Additional configuration notes

Environment variables are not strictly required for basic operation. If you have environment-specific needs, you can add environment variables to the server configuration. The following options show how an environment variable might be incorporated, but placeholders are used where values are not provided.

Troubleshooting

If the tool isn’t behaving as expected, check the logs for clues, verify your Claude Desktop JSON configuration, and ensure Node.js is installed and accessible from your command line. Restart Claude Desktop after any config change.
