Newline MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides utilities for handling multi-line shell commands and clipboard operations.

Tools

This MCP server exposes the following tools:

• format_multiline_command: Takes a multi-line string and appends a backslash (\) to the end of each line. This is useful for formatting shell commands to be pasted as a single block without immediate execution of intermediate lines.

• read_clipboard: Reads the current text content from the system clipboard.

Usage with Gemini CLI

To use this MCP server with the Gemini CLI, you need to add it to your MCP configuration file (usually found at %USER%\.gemini\settings.json or similar, depending on your specific setup).

Add the following entry to your mcpServers configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "newline": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/newline/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Note: Replace /path/to/newline/dist/index.js with the absolute path to the dist/index.js file in this project.

For example, if you cloned this repository to C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\newline, the configuration would be:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "newline": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\newline\\dist\\index.js"]
    }
  }
}
