Help wanted: macOS and Windows testers

[cmeans]

The macOS (osascript/pbpaste/pbcopy) and Windows (PowerShell) backends are fully implemented and unit tested, but have not been verified on real hardware. I'm a Linux/Wayland user and don't have access to either platform.

If you're on macOS or Windows and willing to try mcp-clipboard, even 10 minutes of testing would be a huge help.

Setup

1. Configure Claude Desktop per the README (uvx option is easiest)
2. Enable debug logging if something doesn't work: add "MCP_CLIPBOARD_DEBUG": "1" to the "env" key in your Claude Desktop config

v1.0.x — Core functionality

• Copy plain text → "read my clipboard" → returns the text
• Copy cells from a spreadsheet (Google Sheets, Excel, Numbers) → "paste my clipboard" → returns a Markdown table
• Copy a URL → "what's on my clipboard?" → returns the URL cleanly
• Copy some code → "read what I copied" → returns in a code block
• Copy an image → "paste my clipboard" → Claude can see and describe the image
• Tell Claude "copy this to my clipboard: hello world" → verify it lands on your clipboard

---

v1.1.x — RTF read

• Open Word, Pages, or an email client — type some text with bold or italic formatting — select all → Copy
• Tell Claude "read my clipboard" → should return "Clipboard contains rich text (RTF):" with RTF markup in a code block
• Note: backslash characters in the RTF may appear stripped in Claude Desktop's display — this is a known rendering limitation, not a data error

---

v1.2.x — Table schema inference

• Copy a spreadsheet with mixed column types (names, whole numbers, decimals, dates, TRUE/FALSE values) from Google Sheets or Excel
• Tell Claude "read my clipboard with schema" → verify a Column types table appears below the data showing correct inferred types (integer, float, date, boolean, text, etc.)
• Tell Claude "read my clipboard" (no schema) → verify the Column types table is absent

---

v1.4.x — Typed clipboard write

• Tell Claude "copy this HTML to my clipboard: <b>Hello</b>" → verify clipboard contains HTML
• Tell Claude "copy this as text/rtf" → verify RTF lands on clipboard (macOS/Windows)

How to report

Comment on this issue with:

• Your OS and version (e.g., macOS 15.3, Windows 11 24H2)
• What worked / what didn't
• Any error output (debug logs especially helpful)

Even a "everything worked on macOS Sequoia" is valuable — it lets me mark the platform as tested in the README.

Thanks!
