Winsight

theoewzzer/winsight-mcp

Gives Claude direct access to your Windows desktop through screen capture and window management. Built on Win32 APIs, it can screenshot the full screen, specific regions, or individual windows (even when they're hidden behind others using PrintWindow). Beyond capture, it exposes window control operations like focus, resize, move, minimize, and maximize, plus the ability to list all open windows and monitors. You can also launch applications and wait for their windows to appear. Works on Windows 10/11 with Python 3.10+. Useful when you need Claude to see what's on your screen, inspect UI states, or automate desktop workflows that require visual context.
