Perplexity

Headless clipboard history search.

Terminal dwellers do not want to open a GUI just to find a copied SSH key. This MCP Server brings your entire Ditto or CopyQ export right into your command line workflow. Run a quick prompt. Your agent executes the `search_clipboard_history` tool against your local JSON or TXT dump. It grabs the exact string and pipes it directly into whatever config file you are currently editing.

Recover lost terminal commands.

We all copy complex Docker run commands and lose them a minute later. Connecting your clipboard export to your CLI agent via this MCP Server solves this instantly. Ask your agent to find the command you copied this morning. It parses the historical log, finds the exact syntax, and drops it into your terminal session ready for execution.

Built for raw text and JSON logs.

Clipboard managers dump messy, unformatted data. This tool natively understands the structure of those massive export files so you never have to grep through them manually. The agent filters the noise. You request a specific IP address or token, and it scans the raw text dump to return just the isolated value you need for your script.

Yes. Once configured in your `~/.claude.json`, the agent can query your exported clipboard logs during automated scripts or remote SSH sessions without any graphical interface.

Any manager that exports to JSON or plain text. Maccy, Ditto, and CopyQ are the most common, but any standard text dump works perfectly.

Grep requires you to remember the exact string or write complex regex. The agent understands natural language context, finding the specific AWS ARN you copied even if you only remember roughly what it looked like.

Your JSON and TXT exports are processed in a completely isolated V8 sandbox on Vinkius. The environment is destroyed the moment the search completes. Nothing from your clipboard logs is ever cached or saved.
