What does the Winsight MCP server do?

It captures Windows desktop screenshots and makes them available to Claude, allowing the AI to see and analyze your screen in real time. This enables visual debugging, UI analysis, and screen-based problem-solving.

How do I install and run Winsight?

Install via `uvx winsight-mcp@0.1.1`. The server uses stdio transport, so it integrates directly with Claude Code or other MCP clients that support stdio connections.

Does Winsight require any authentication or API keys?

The registry metadata does not specify authentication requirements. Check the project repository or documentation for any setup prerequisites.

Can Winsight capture specific windows or just the full screen?

The server supports screen capture functionality, though the specific granularity (full screen vs. active window vs. region selection) is not detailed in the available metadata. Refer to the project docs for capture options.

What are the privacy and security implications of screen capture?

Screen capture exposes everything visible on your desktop to Claude, including sensitive data like passwords, API keys, or private information. Only use this server in trusted environments and be mindful of what's on screen.
