Windows Screen Capture MCP Server — give Claude Code eyes on your Windows desktop.

WinSight is an MCP server that lets Claude Code capture your screen, manage windows, and launch applications on Windows.

Features

• Screenshot the full screen, a specific region, or a specific window
• Window capture uses Win32 PrintWindow API — captures the real window content even when it's behind other windows
• List and inspect open windows (title, position, size, state)
• Focus any window, including minimized or background apps
• Launch applications and Python scripts, with automatic window detection

Requirements

• Windows 10/11
• Python 3.10+

Quick Start

Option 1: uvx (recommended)

No install needed — runs directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "winsight": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["winsight-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Add this to your project's .mcp.json or ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json.

Option 2: pip install

pip install winsight-mcp

Then configure:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "winsight": {
      "command": "winsight-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Option 3: From source

git clone https://github.com/TheoEwzZer/WinSight-MCP.git
cd WinSight-MCP
uv sync

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "winsight": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["--directory", "/path/to/WinSight-MCP", "run", "winsight-mcp"]
    }
  }
