Overview

What is View Control MCP Server?

View Control MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to control a local PC through mouse operations, keyboard input, and screen capture. It implements the MCP protocol (JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio) and integrates with MCP clients like Claude Desktop and Cursor.

How to use View Control MCP Server?

Install the package via npm (npm install view-control-mcp-server), then start the server with npx view-control-mcp-server. Configure a client (e.g., Cursor or Claude Desktop) with transport type stdio and command npx view-control-mcp-server. The server will then accept JSON-RPC requests on standard input/output.

Key features of View Control MCP Server

  • Mouse control: get position, move, click (left/right/middle), drag‑and‑drop.
  • Keyboard input: type text, press keys, and combine with modifier keys.
  • Screen capture: capture the full screen and return Base64‑encoded image data.
  • JSON‑RPC 2.0 protocol with stdio transport.
  • Compatible with multiple MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor).

Use cases of View Control MCP Server

  • Automate local desktop tasks via an AI assistant.
  • Test and debug UI interactions programmatically.
  • Enable an AI chat tool to perform mouse or keyboard actions on the user’s machine.
  • Capture screen content for analysis or reporting.

3

How do I connect this server with Claude Desktop?

In Claude Desktop’s MCP settings, add a server with the same configuration: name "View Control MCP Server", transport `stdio`, command `npx view-control-mcp-server`.

4

What methods are available on the server?

The server exposes methods under `mouse` (e.g., `mouse.move`, `mouse.click`), `keyboard` (e.g., `keyboard.type`, `keyboard.press`), and `screen` (e.g., `screen.capture`), plus standard MCP methods like `initialize`, `ping`, `tools/list`, and `tools/call`.

5

Are there any security considerations?

Yes. Because the server controls the local PC, use it only in trusted networks and be mindful of privacy when using screen capture features.
