Peekaboo MCP – lightning-fast macOS screenshots for AI agents

Created By

## What Peekaboo Can Do Peekaboo provides three main tools that give AI agents visual capabilities: - **`image`** - Capture screenshots of screens or specific applications - **`analyze`** - Ask AI questions about captured images using vision models - **`list`** - Enumerate available screens and windows for targeted captures Each tool is designed to be powerful and flexible. The most powerful feature is visual question answering - agents can ask questions about screenshots like "What do you see in this window?" or "Is the submit button visible?" and get accurate answers. This saves context space since asking specific questions is much more efficient than returning raw image data. Peekaboo supports both cloud and local vision models, letting you choose between accuracy and privacy.

Zhipu Web SearchZhipu Web Search MCP Server is a search engine specifically designed for large models. It integrates four search engines, allowing users to flexibly compare and switch between them. Building upon the web crawling and ranking capabilities of traditional search engines, it enhances intent recognition capabilities, returning results more suitable for large model processing (such as webpage titles, URLs, summaries, site names, site icons, etc.). This helps AI applications achieve "dynamic knowledge acquisition" and "precise scenario adaptation" capabilities.
