genai-capture-mcp

genai-capture-mcp

MCP server for GenAI Capture — let AI agents (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, …) capture your screen, see the image, annotate it (arrows, boxes, text, numbered steps, highlight, blur/redact), and save the result. Great for AI-authored visual bug reports and before/after proof.

This package is a thin launcher: it finds the locally-installed GenAI Capture app and runs its built-in MCP server (--mcp). It does not contain the server itself.

Prerequisites

Install the GenAI Capture desktop app first (it carries the MCP server and the capture engine): https://github.com/projecthsf/genai-capture/releases/latest

Use

Claude Code:

claude mcp add genai-capture -- npx -y genai-capture-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor (mcpServers config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "genai-capture": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "genai-capture-mcp"] }
  }
}

If the app is installed somewhere non-standard, set GENAI_CAPTURE_BIN to the app binary path.

Tools

capture_fullscreen, capture_region, annotate, get_image, save_image.

Everything runs locally — images only go to the MCP client you connected. Each capture plays a short sound as an audible cue that the screen was read.
