Pointcast tools (4)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • get_element

    Get the full captured details (ElementInfo) of one event in a session by its event id, with the page errors captured around it (stack frames included) when there were any.

  • get_session

    Get a session's Markdown spec (session.md), rendering it from session.json + words.json if it is not on disk yet. Pass "latest-here" for the most recent recording made on this project, or "latest" for the most recent one of any project. Code locations are resolved against the project's source when the recording has them.

  • list_sessions

    List recent pointcast recordings, newest first: id, date, duration, the pages pointed at, how many requests and elements, a preview of the first request, whether its source files are in this project (matchesProject), and whether its spec is already on disk (rendered).

  • wait_for_recording

    Wait for the user's next pointcast recording and return its spec. Use when the user asks you to listen/watch for recordings; after applying one, call it again to keep listening. Returns as soon as a new recording arrives (the user pressed Stop in the extension), with the same spec and warnings as get_session, or after timeoutSeconds with "No new recording yet": that is not an error, call it again

What its tools let an agent do: 4 read

Install Pointcast in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y pointcast on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

claude mcp add pointcast -- npx -y pointcast
Add to Cursor

What the publisher says

From the Pointcast repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

Pointcast

Talk and Alt+click on your web app. Your coding agent gets the exact elements, and the lines of code behind them.

One recording covers a whole list of UI changes: say what you want while you point, press Stop, and Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI or Cursor get a spec that leads with src/…:line. In an evaluation on three real admin dashboards, pointing raised the agent's accuracy from 78 % to 89 % over the same words without pointing; in a follow-up, adding the code lines cut the tokens it spent finding the elements by more than half. Your voice is transcribed locally, in the browser.

In the latest evaluation, ten UI changes on a real React app took 1.5 min as one voice recording against 15–20 min to write by hand, and a blind review scored the result 192/200, against 174 for the hand-written prompt (146 with the older, stricter instruction). One run each, reviewed by an AI model; the methods are in the repo (all evaluations).

Quick start · How it works · Eval · Discussions · Changelog

Public beta (0.6). Chrome and Edge on desktop. CI-tested on Windows, macOS and Linux (Chrome); Edge developed and tested on Windows. Feedback: issues.

Quick start

One command, in your project (Node.js ≥ 22.12):

npx pointcast@latest setup

It finds your coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor) and, after asking you, adds Pointcast to each one; says what your stack needs (Django: pointcast-django; React, Vue, Svelte: nothing); tells you how to add the browser extension; and ends with pointcast doctor. Each change shows the exact command or file first. --dry-run only shows the plan, --yes skips the questions (D14).

Or by hand:

1. Add the extension. The Chrome Web Store listing is in review; meanwhile, load the release zip.

2. Connect your agent. This is the main path: at Stop the recording goes straight to your agent's Pointcast MCP server, and the agent fetches it itself, with each element resolved to its line in your repository.

# Claude Code, then /pointcast (or /pointcast watch)
claude plugin marketplace add Hugelidus/pointcast && claude plugin install pointcast@pointcast
# Codex CLI, then in a new session $pointcast:pointcast (or "apply my latest pointcast recording")
codex plugin marketplace add Hugelidus/pointcast && codex plugin add pointcast@pointcast
# Gemini CLI, then /pointcast in a folder you trust
gemini extensions install https://github.com/Hugelidus/pointcast
# Cursor, Windsurf or any MCP client: run this MCP server (config: packages/cli/README.md#mcp-server)
