👻 Ghostclip.dev — MCP & API

Connect your AI assistant in under 2 minutes.

Ghostclip.dev provides both a REST API and a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so AI assistants and automations can create, read, update and delete encrypted ephemeral clipboards. The MCP server runs directly on ghostclip.dev — no local installation required, just a URL and an API key.

1 Get your API key

Go to /mcp, enter your clipboard code, and click Generate key. Your key starts with gc_. Keep it safe — it is shown only once.

2 Connect your client

REST API

Use these endpoints from any HTTP client, script, or automation. All requests require Authorization: Bearer <your_api_key>.

Method	Path	Action
POST	/api/v1/clipboard	Create clipboard → returns `{code, url, expires_at}`
GET	/api/v1/clipboard/{code}	Read content → returns `{content, expires_at, views_remaining}`
PUT	/api/v1/clipboard/{code}	Update content
DELETE	/api/v1/clipboard/{code}	Delete immediately
GET	/api/v1/words	Generate a random code

curl -X POST https://ghostclip.dev/api/v1/clipboard \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer gc_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content":"Hello from the API","ttl_minutes":60}'
