Peekaboo

Peekaboo gives Claude eyes and hands on your Mac. It can screenshot an app, work out what's on screen, then click, type and use menus. That lets Claude do things in apps that have no connector of their own, or check how something it built actually looks.

It needs Node.js 22 or later, plus Screen Recording and Accessibility permission in macOS settings. The tool that answers questions about a picture also needs an AI key (OpenAI, Anthropic or a local Ollama model).

Being able to click anything is powerful, so watch the first few runs. It started as Peter Steinberger's project and now lives under OpenClaw.

• Take a screenshot of one app, one window or the whole screen
• Read what's on screen and describe it
• Click buttons, type text and use menus in Mac apps
• Open, switch and close apps and windows
• Check its work by looking at the screen again

Open your terminal (the text window where you run Claude Code) in your project folder, then paste this command to connect it:

claude mcp add peekaboo -- npx -y @steipete/peekaboo mcp

Or add this to your project's .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "peekaboo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@steipete/peekaboo", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}
