Implementation Reference
- src/categories/clipboard.ts:77-84 (handler)Handler logic for the set_clipboard script: generates AppleScript that sets the system clipboard to the provided content using `set the clipboard to "${args.content}"`, with error handling and success message.
script: (args) => ` try set the clipboard to "${args.content}" return "Clipboard content set successfully" on error errMsg return "Failed to set clipboard: " & errMsg end try `, - src/categories/clipboard.ts:67-76 (schema)Input schema for set_clipboard tool: requires a 'content' string parameter.
schema: { type: "object", properties: { content: { type: "string", description: "Content to copy to clipboard", }, }, required: ["content"], }, - src/index.ts:28-28 (registration)Registration of the clipboard category containing the set_clipboard script by adding it to the MCP server.
server.addCategory(clipboardCategory); - src/framework.ts:224-224 (registration)Tool name construction in listTools handler: combines category name 'clipboard' and script name 'set_clipboard' to form 'clipboard_set_clipboard'.
