Perplexity

Search your Ditto exports right inside Windsurf.

Cascade connects to your `clipboard-history-searcher-mcp` to read those massive CopyQ or Maccy export files. Instead of switching windows to dig for a specific API key you copied yesterday, your agent handles the lookup autonomously. You just ask for the data. The `search_clipboard_history` tool parses the JSON or text file in the background. Cascade grabs the exact string and drops it straight into your active editor tab.

Recover lost code blocks instantly.

We all accidentally overwrite our system clipboard. When you lose an unsaved function, this MCP Server acts as your safety net. Point your agent at the exported history file. It scans the raw dump for specific variable names or syntax patterns you remember, pulling the exact block back into your workspace without missing a beat.

Parse messy text and JSON dumps.

Exported clipboard logs are notoriously hard to read manually. This tool natively understands both structured JSON arrays and flat text files generated by popular clipboard managers. Tell Cascade what you need. It queries the raw data dump, filters out the noise, and returns only the relevant copied items. You stay focused on building features instead of grepping through hundreds of random copy events.

No. This specific server requires an exported file from a manager like Maccy, CopyQ, or Ditto. You export the log, and the agent reads that static file.

Cascade chains the steps together for you. It finds the lost code in your export file and immediately applies it to your current file in one smooth motion. You never leave the editor.

The server parses both standard plain text and JSON formats. It handles the raw output from most major clipboard management applications automatically.

Vinkius runs this MCP Server in a zero-trust V8 Isolate Sandbox that dies after the session ends. Your exported text and JSON logs are processed ephemerally. The server only reads the specific file you point it at and retains nothing.
