What is Screeny?

Screeny is a privacy-first MCP server that enables AI agents (such as Claude Desktop or Cursor) to capture macOS screenshots. It runs entirely locally, requires explicit user approval for each window, and deletes screenshots immediately after use.

How to use Screeny?

Install via pipx install mcp-server-screeny or run with uvx mcp-server-screeny. Then configure your MCP host (Claude Desktop or Cursor) with the command mcp-server-screeny (or full path to the executable). After configuration, run mcp-server-screeny --setup (or uvx mcp-server-screeny --setup) to approve which windows can be captured. Grant Screen Capture permission to both your terminal and MCP host application before running setup.

FAQ from Screeny

What are the system requirements?

Python 3.10+, macOS with Screen Capture permission, and your MCP host (Claude Desktop or Cursor) must also have Screen Capture permission.

How does Screeny protect my privacy?

Only windows you explicitly approve can be captured. Screenshots are processed locally and deleted immediately after the AI agent uses them.

What if I get a “spawn uvx ENOENT” error?

Replace "uvx" in your MCP config with the full path to uvx (find it with which uvx).

Why do I see “No approved windows found”?

Run the setup command (mcp-server-screeny --setup or uvx mcp-server-screeny --setup) to approve windows. Also ensure Screen Recording permission is granted to your MCP host application.
