Claude Text Editor

Enables system-wide text editing on macOS by monitoring file directories where selected text is automatically processed through customizable prompts and returned with clipboard integration and desktop notifications.

This MCP server provides seamless text editing integration with Claude Desktop through a file-based workflow system, enabling users to select text anywhere on macOS and have it automatically processed by Claude through customizable prompts. Built by Luca Pinello using Python with the MCP SDK and macOS system integration, it operates by monitoring inbox/outbox directories where text files are dropped for processing, supports custom editing instructions through configurable prompts with special handling for parenthetical user directives, and includes automatic clipboard copying with desktop notifications upon completion. The implementation features a complete macOS shortcut integration for system-wide text selection, conda/mamba environment management with fallback to virtual environments, and a client-server architecture that handles file-based communication between the user interface and Claude Desktop, making it valuable for writers needing quick text refinement, professionals requiring consistent editing workflows, and anyone wanting to leverage Claude's text processing capabilities without leaving their current application context.
