Pastea

Pastea runs locally from an MCP Bundle: a single downloadable archive holding a local server and a manifest that describes it: https://github.com/pastea-app/pastea-mcp/releases/download/v1.0.4/pastea-mcp-1.0.4.mcpb. It speaks MCP over stdio, so the client starts it as a program and talks to it through standard input and output. It needs a client that installs MCP Bundles; the file is opened in, or added to, that client.

Pastea runs locally from a Node.js package published to the npm registry: @pastea/mcp version 1.0.4. It speaks MCP over stdio, so the client starts it as a program and talks to it through standard input and output. It needs Node.js; clients usually start it with npx — the usual command is npx -y @pastea/mcp@1.0.4.

In the mcpServers JSON format that many desktop and editor MCP clients read, the entry looks like this (placeholders in angle brackets):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pastea-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@pastea/mcp@1.0.4"
      ]
    }
  }
}
