Lumae MCP server

Lumae

Lumae turns a screen recording into a polished software demo on macOS. Record a window, a display or an area; Lumae follows your cursor, zooms in on what you clicked, and renders it over a background you choose. Nothing is re-encoded until you export.

Install

Download the latest Lumae-.dmg from the Releases page, open it, and drag Lumae into your Applications folder. Builds are signed and notarized. Requires macOS 26 or later.

Installed copies update themselves through Sparkle; the .zip and .delta files attached to each release are what the updater downloads.

Edit your demos from a coding agent

Lumae is an MCP server, so an agent such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor or Codex can work on your recordings directly:

*"Open the onboarding demo, cut the dead air at 12 seconds, and add a zoom on

the click at 0:08 that follows the cursor."*

Every change an agent makes goes through the same editing engine as your own clicks, so it appears live in the editor window, is one step in Edit ▸ Undo, and autosaves like anything else. The agent can also render frames to look at what it is doing before it commits.

Connect Claude Code:

claude mcp add lumae -- /Applications/Lumae.app/Contents/MacOS/lumae-mcp

For Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex and any other MCP client, see docs/MCP.md — it also lists every tool an agent can call. Settings ▸ MCP Server inside the app prints the configuration for each client with a Copy button.

Nothing about your projects leaves your Mac through MCP except what the client you connected asks for and shows you.
