WinSight

WinSight is an MCP server for Claude Code that lets you capture screenshots, inspect and control Windows windows, and launch applications directly from your workflow. It supports taking full-screen captures, region-based captures, and window captures (even if the target window is behind others). You can list windows and monitors, inspect detailed window information, move/resize/minimize/maximize/restore windows, focus a window, and launch applications while optionally waiting for their windows to appear. Use the provided tools to build scripted commands like taking a screenshot of Notepad or opening Calculator and capturing its window for Claude Code to process.

Prerequisites:

• Windows 10/11
• Python 3.10+

Install via uvx (recommended, no install required):

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

Alternatively, install via pip:

pip install winsight-mcp

Then configure:

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

Or run 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"]
    }
  }
}

Notes:

• This MCP requires Windows 10/11 and Python 3.10+. Ensure Python is added to your PATH.
• UVX is the recommended runtime for zero-install usage; use the uvx flow if you want to run directly without a full install.
• The tools are organized into categories: Screenshot (take_screenshot, screenshot_window, screenshot_region), Window Management (list_windows, get_window_info, focus_window, resize_window, move_window, minimize_window, maximize_window, restore_window, wait_for_window), and System (list_monitors, open_application).
• When running from source or with uvx, you may need to adjust paths or run commands with appropriate permissions (administrative privileges may be required for certain window operations).
• Tests rely on mocks for Win32 APIs; run tests with uv run pytest if developing.
