Tools

This server runs locally, so its tools are listed by your MCP client once it starts.

Environment variables

Name	Description
`CLIPBOARD_VAULT_PATH` Optional	Auto-mirror non-secret clips to this Obsidian vault directory. Sidecar `.md` per clip + bullet in `daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md`. Secrets are never mirrored.
`CLIPBOARD_CAPTURE_WINDOW_TITLE` Optional	Set to '1' to capture the active window title alongside each clip (needs Accessibility permission on macOS, X11 only on Linux).
`CLIPBOARD_IGNORE_APPS` Optional	Comma-separated app display names to skip (e.g. '1Password,Bitwarden,KeePassXC').
`CLIPBOARD_NEVER_STORE_SECRETS` Optional	Set to '1' for paranoid mode — secrets are detected and metadata-logged but ciphertext is never stored.
`CLIPBOARD_HISTORY_MAX` Optional	Maximum number of clips kept in the ring buffer. Defaults to 1000.
`CLIPBOARD_POLL_MS` Optional	Watcher poll interval in milliseconds. Defaults to 1500.
