About DesktopVisionMCP. Show, don't tell.
DesktopVisionMCP is a macOS menu bar application and plain Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to streamline how you share visual context with AI assistants. Instead of manually taking screenshots, cropping images, pasting files, or describing UI layout issues verbally, DesktopVisionMCP allows your assistant to visually inspect your screen directly when needed.
Built on standard MCP architecture, the utility functions seamlessly across a wide variety of AI environments, including Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Gemini, or any future tool that supports the protocol. This universal compatibility ensures you do not lose your workflow integration if you switch AI platforms.
Privacy and user control are central to DesktopVisionMCP's design. The application operates strictly on-demand—it only captures your screen when explicitly requested by an assistant. It never records video, cannot perform active interactions like clicking or typing, and displays its operational status clearly in your macOS menu bar at all times. Captures are strictly routed to the requesting assistant and nowhere else.
