buffer_copy

MCP tool from Clippy by neilberkman

Copy file bytes (with optional line ranges) to agent's private buffer

How to use it

Project documentation lists buffer_copy for the Clippy MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
