See it in action

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

No way for Claude to help automate repetitive desktop tasks

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 access your screen recordings, search your history, and even control your computer.

Search your screen history

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

Computer control

Claude can move your mouse, type text, click elements, and open applications. Automate repetitive tasks with natural language.

UI element discovery

On macOS, Claude can find buttons, text fields, and other UI elements using the accessibility API. 'Click the submit button' just works.

Video export

Export screen recordings as MP4 videos. Claude can help you create clips of specific moments from your history.
