Features

  • 6 MCP Tools: copy_lines, cut_lines, paste_lines, show_clipboard, undo_last_paste, get_operation_history

  • Session-Based Clipboard: Each session maintains independent clipboard state

  • Smart Undo Support: Revert paste operations with complete file snapshots - automatically restores cut source files

  • Audit Trail: SQLite-based operation logging for debugging

  • Encrypted Clipboard Storage: AES-256-GCM encrypted payloads with per-installation keys stored beside the SQLite DB

  • Path Access Control: Optional.gitignore-style allowlist to restrict filesystem access (docs)

  • Session Management: Automatic cleanup with 24-hour timeout

  • NPX Ready: Easy installation and updates via npm

  • Unicode Support: Full support for international characters and emoji

  • Binary File Detection: Automatically rejects PNG, PDF, JPEG, GIF, and other binary formats
