Clipboard FAQs

Question 1

What are the key benefits of pattern-based editing for AI agents?

Accepted Answer

This approach significantly reduces context token consumption for AI agents, is more robust to whitespace and formatting variations in code, and leverages natural code structure for more reliable content selection and insertion.

Question 2

Are there any security considerations when using Clipboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's CRITICAL to understand that installing Clipboard grants AI agents the ability to READ and MODIFY files on your system without explicit user confirmation for each operation. Only install if you fully trust your AI system and accept these significant security implications.

Question 3

What kind of file operations can I perform with Clipboard?

Accepted Answer

Clipboard supports pattern-based copy and cut (move) operations. You can select content using start/end patterns or line counts, and insert it at flexible target points (before, after, or replacing a marker) within another file.

Question 4

What are the current limitations of Clipboard (v0.0.1)?

Accepted Answer

As an experimental release, Clipboard is currently case-sensitive, lacks regex pattern support, is limited to single-file operations per call, and does not offer undo/rollback functionality. These features are on the roadmap for future development.

Question 5

What is Clipboard and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Clipboard is an MCP server for AI agents that facilitates context-efficient file editing. It uses pattern-based copy and paste operations, allowing AI to identify and manipulate code sections using text landmarks (like function names or comments) rather than exact strings.
