How Clipped Works
Watch what your AI is actually working with — before and after.
Clipped runs locally. Strips ads, nav, comments. Delivers clean markdown ready for Claude.

The first step is to decide what to
work on. The work you choose needs
to have three qualities: a natural
aptitude, a deep interest, and
scope to do great work.
Clipped extracts, filters, and routes page content — cutting the noise so only clean text reaches Claude.

Open any article, click the toolbar icon. No custom parsers, no manual copy-paste, no browser dev tools.
Readability.js kills nav, ads, and comments before they cost you context window — keeping only what actually matters.
Copy straight to clipboard for instant paste, or download as .md — routed however your workflow needs it.
Tag clips to a project as you save them. Every article lands in its own folder — no more hunting through Downloads.
Export once, then clipped-mcp lets Claude search and read your saved clips mid-conversation — no copy-paste, no cloud, fully local.
New — MCP Connector
No copy-paste. No file drag-in. clipped-mcp is a local MCP server that lets Claude search and read your saved clips mid-conversation.

"clipped": {

}Export your library once from the extension, add the config above to Claude Desktop, and ask away.
Save a clip to a project folder, then layer on free-form tags for finer filtering. Search across titles, projects, and tags — sort by date, project, or length. One click exports a markdown digest of the week.

Download the zip from the GitHub releases page, unzip it, open chrome://extensions, enable Developer Mode (top right), then click "Load unpacked" and select the unzipped folder. Pin the Clipped icon to your toolbar, open any article, and click it to extract. Works on Chrome, Brave, Edge, and other Chromium browsers — not Firefox or Safari.
Clipped extracts whatever is already rendered in your browser. If you can read the article (logged in, subscribed, or free), Clipped can extract it. It cannot bypass a paywall you have not already unlocked.
No. Extraction runs entirely in your browser using Mozilla Readability and Turndown — the same engine behind Firefox Reader Mode. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or tracked.
Clipped reads the DOM as currently rendered. Content already loaded when you click extracts cleanly; content that only loads on further scroll will not be included.
No signup, no login, no account. Install the extension and it works immediately.
Yes, free forever for the core extraction features — copy to clipboard, download as markdown. No trial, no credit card.
Yes. When saving a clip, tag it to a project — Clipped groups the file into that project's folder instead of dumping everything flat into Downloads. Open the built-in Library to browse, search, and re-copy any past clip by folder.
Clipped checks if a page actually looks like an article before letting you extract. Search results, dashboards, and social media feeds get skipped automatically — this avoids confusing errors on pages with nothing to clip.
Yes — clipped-mcp is a local MCP server that lets Claude Desktop search and read your saved clips directly in conversation. Export your library from the Library view, add clipped-mcp to your Claude Desktop config, and ask things like "what have I read about X this month?" No copy-paste, no cloud sync — it just reads a local file.
Both. Projects group clips into folders; tags are free-form labels you add on top for finer filtering. Click any tag in the Library to instantly filter to everything with that tag.
Clipped is free. Forever. Install now, extract articles in seconds, organize them into projects, and paste into Claude instantly.
No signup. No tracking. Works offline.
