Give Claude your desktop context

Connect screenpipe to Claude Desktop via MCP. Claude can search your screen history, find what you were working on, and understand your full context.

Claude doesn't know what's on your screen

Without context, Claude can't help with what you're actually doing.

01

You have to describe everything you see to Claude manually

02

Claude can't reference that error message you saw earlier

03

Context gets lost across conversation sessions

04

Copy-pasting context is tedious and loses information

05

Claude's suggestions often don't match your actual environment

MCP: Model Context Protocol

screenpipe implements MCP, Anthropic's protocol for connecting AI to external tools. Once connected, Claude can directly search your screen recordings and understand what you've been working on.

Search your screen history

Claude can search across all your OCR text and audio transcriptions. Ask 'what was that API endpoint from yesterday?'

Full context awareness

Claude understands what you've been working on - meetings, research, code. No more explaining your situation.

Meeting transcripts

Claude can search through transcribed meetings and calls. 'What did we discuss about the deadline?'

Video export

Export screen recordings as MP4 videos. Create clips of specific moments from your history.
