Common questions
Is Pointframe MCP Server safe?
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (6.7.163) reached the registry 14 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need MCPB on your computer.
What can I use instead?

Pointframe
Let your coding agent test the real Windows UI.
Pointframe lets agents inspect your app, interact with its controls, and run repeatable checks with screenshots and signed evidence.
Free, open source, Windows x64.
Set up your agent | Download the screenshot app
Coding agents: read the complete Windows desktop verification recipe before starting.
An agent checks its UI change in the real app
pointframe verify run runs your build and test gates and, for each scenario in the spec, launches your built app, drives it through its real controls (invoke, type, check), and writes a verdict with a signed evidence bundle: report.json, evidence/ screenshots and an index.html. A good scenario also carries a negative control, a check with a deliberately wrong expectation that must fail.
30-second demo on the same sample: fail, fix, pass, evidence. Click to watch.
This is a real evidence screenshot from a passing run of the WPF sample (its reference spec is in the repo, so you can reproduce it).
Pick your door
| I want to... | Use | First example |
|---|---|---|
| Give my agent eyes on the desktop, and optionally hands | MCP server | Ask the agent to list your displays; it calls list_displays |
| Script captures, OCR and recordings, or gate an agent on a verified pass | CLI | pointframe displays, then pointframe verify run |
| Capture, annotate and record by hand | Desktop app | Press Print Screen |
The CLI and the MCP server run on their own: neither needs the tray app. Capture, OCR and recording only observe. Interacting with an app's controls is off until you set it up for one app (pointframe verify setup, or a policy file; see desktop testing).
What the MCP server gives an agent
Eleven always-on tools: list_displays, list_windows, capture_monitor, capture_window, read_text_from_monitor, read_text_from_window, search_captures, get_capture, start_recording, stop_recording and get_recording_status. Captures come back inline as an image plus a PNG on disk with SHA-256, monitor geometry and DPI. The opt-in desktop_* tools launch an approved app, click, type and check its UI, and write a signed report. Details: MCP reference.
What the CLI gives a script
pointframe displayspointframe windows pointframe capture --monitor '\\.\DISPLAY1' --output .\shot.png pointframe ocr --monitor '\\.\DISPLAY1' pointframe record --monitor '\\.\DISPLAY1' --seconds 10 --output .\take1.mp4 pointframe verify run
The discovery, capture, OCR and recording commands write a single-line JSON response to standard output, on success and on failure. Exit code 0 is success and 1 a runtime failure with a stable Error.Code. Invalid command-line arguments exit 2 and write usage text to standard error instead of JSON. For other commands, follow their command-specific output contracts in the CLI reference and the verify docs. pointframe mcp serve speaks the MCP stdio protocol. record needs ffmpeg.exe. Every command and flag: CLI reference.
Quick start
Set up your agent
- Claude Code plugin. From a clone,
claude --plugin-dir ./plugin/pointframestarts the MCP server and adds theverify-desktop-workskill (plugin README). The plugin is not yet in the plugin directory. - Other MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, VS Code): connect your MCP client.
- CLI. Download
Pointframe.Cli-win-x64.zipfrom the latest release, extract it, and run this from that folder (checksum step: CLI install). Open a new terminal afterwards, so the userPathchange takes effect. Thenpointframe displayslists your monitors, and the verify guide covers your own app.
.\Pointframe.Cli.exe installDownload the screenshot app
winget install DimitarRadenkov.PointframePress Print Screen to capture a region, add arrows, text or blur, then copy, save, pin or record. Or take the installer from Releases. Features, settings and shortcuts: desktop app guide.
FAQ
Does it need the desktop app? No. The CLI and the MCP server are standalone: no tray app and no .NET runtime. The desktop app is the separate screenshot tool for people.
Can it run headless? Build and test gates can, including in CI. Checks of the real UI need an unlocked, interactive Windows session; a Windows service in session 0 cannot capture the user desktop.
What does a pass establish? That the gates and scenarios your spec configures all passed. A spec with only gates passes without launching an app, so UI coverage is only what your scenarios check. Trust a pass only when pointframe verify status reports fresh: true. Freshness covers the Git-visible working tree, the spec and the active-task snapshot. A spec with scenarios but no gates can pass but is never fresh (no_build_gate). Files ignored by .gitignore and verify's own output are not counted. It does not prove your code is correct.
Privacy and telemetry
Official release builds of the CLI and the MCP server send anonymous usage counts (command or tool name, outcome, duration bucket, host, MCP client type, version, a random install ID), never screenshots, text or paths. Opt out with POINTFRAME_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT=1 or DO_NOT_TRACK=1; this applies to the CLI and the MCP server only. The desktop app's official builds send the events listed in PRIVACY.md, which holds the full policy; source builds send nothing.
