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 and monitors (title, position, size, state, resolution)
  • Control windows — move, resize, minimize, maximize, restore, and focus
  • Launch applications and wait for their windows

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/claudedesktopconfig.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"]
    }
  }
}

Examples

Once the MCP server is connected, you can ask Claude Code things like:

  • "Take a screenshot of my screen"
  • "List all open windows"
  • "Capture the Notepad window"
  • "Open calculator and take a screenshot of it"
  • "Focus the Chrome window"
  • "Resize the app window to 800x600 and take a screenshot"
  • "Move the window to the top-left corner"
  • "What monitors do I have?"

Testing

The project has 112 tests covering all modules. Tests use mocks for Win32 APIs so they run on any platform.
