MCP support
The MCP server exposes local recording, styling, and export capabilities to AI clients. It is installed through Screenify Studio, a client’s connector flow, or the `screenify mcp install` command.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEScreenify Studio — MCP server
Every other screen-related MCP server lets an AI look at your screen. This one lets it make a video.
Ask Claude, Claude Code or Cursor for a demo and get back a finished file — recorded, styled and exported. No terminal, no flags, no editor.
"Record a 12-second demo of my landing page and put it on a café desk mockup."
Everything runs locally on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded.

Asked in a chat window; recorded, styled and exported by Screenify. No editor was opened.
What it can do
Connect it to an AI assistant and ask for the finished video instead of driving the editor yourself:
- record a screen, window, area, simulator or a web page
- style the export — wallpapers, device mockups, photo mockups, auto-zoom, cinematic effects
- add camera moves and effects to the moments that matter
- add animated titles — and keep the ones you made in the app when exporting
- open a video or image you already have and style that instead
- export to mp4, mov, gif or webp, with platform presets
Everything runs locally on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded.
Install
Requires Screenify Studio 2.2.0 or newer. The bundle carries no binary — it launches the CLI that ships inside the app.
Claude Desktop — one click
Download screenify.mcpb
and open it. Claude Desktop installs the connector.
Any other MCP client
Open Screenify Studio → Settings → AI Assistants → Connect AI assistants. It registers the server with every AI client it finds on your Mac. Or from a terminal:
screenify mcp install
From a registry
Screenify is listed in the official MCP registry
as studio.screenify/screenify, so clients that read the registry can find and install it
without any of the steps above.

In short, for this MCP server specifically:
- What it collects — nothing. The server runs locally on your Mac and exposes tools to an MCP client you already trust. It has no telemetry of its own.
- Where your data goes — recordings, projects and exported videos stay on your Mac, in your recordings folder and wherever you ask for the output. Nothing is uploaded by the server.
- Third parties — none for the recording and export tools. Two features reach out only when you explicitly use them: web recording fetches the URL you ask for, and the optional AI-director effects call the AI provider whose API key you supplied.
- Retention — the server keeps nothing after a job finishes; the files it produced are yours to keep or delete.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
