Claude doesn't know what's on your screen

Without context, Claude can't help with what you're actually doing.

01

You have to describe everything you see to Claude manually

02

Claude can't reference that error message you saw earlier

03

Context gets lost across conversation sessions

04

Copy-pasting context is tedious and loses information

05

Claude's suggestions often don't match your actual environment

MCP: Model Context Protocol

screenpipe implements MCP, Anthropic's protocol for connecting AI to external tools. Once connected, Claude can directly search your screen recordings and understand what you've been working on.

Meeting transcripts

Claude can search through transcribed meetings and calls. 'What did we discuss about the deadline?'
