Paste API

I love how Paste has Siri Shortcuts supported, what I would also wish is the ablity to support having REST APIs.

    You can use the system’s API to copy the item, that will place it in the pasteboard :)

    We care a lot about privacy and therefore don't have any of our own servers and APIs.

    However, Paste provides seamless integration with Shortcuts so you could try to build something similar yourself using a custom workflow and other 3rd party services.

    Paste Team: I've actually been looking into your Shortcuts integration since posting this, and it looks very promising. Totally understand and appreciate the concern for privacy regarding the API. Thanks for the response.

    A first step is here: Paste MCP (Paste 6.6) runs a local server that AI tools like Claude and Codex can use to search your history and create, edit and delete items and pinboards. It isn't a general REST API yet, so we're keeping this open.
