Overview

View Control MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows for local PC operations, mouse clicks, and screen captures through standardized communication between AI language model applications and external services.

To use the server, install it via npm and start it using the command line. It communicates using JSON-RPC 2.0 format requests through standard input/output.

  • Mouse operations: Get mouse position, move mouse, click (left/right/middle), drag & drop. - Keyboard operations: Text input, key presses, and combinations with modifier keys. - Screen capture: Capture the entire screen and retrieve Base64 encoded image data. - Communication: Complies with JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol and supports stdio transport.
  1. Automating repetitive tasks on a local PC.
  2. Integrating with AI assistants for enhanced functionality.
  3. Capturing screen data for analysis or sharing.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect View Control MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "view-control-mcp-server-nakashima-takeo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-view-control-mcp-server-nakashima-takeo"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "view-control-mcp-server-nakashima-takeo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-view-control-mcp-server-nakashima-takeo"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "view-control-mcp-server-nakashima-takeo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-view-control-mcp-server-nakashima-takeo"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "view-control-mcp-server-nakashima-takeo": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-view-control-mcp-server-nakashima-takeo"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "view-control-mcp-server-nakashima-takeo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-view-control-mcp-server-nakashima-takeo"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "view-control-mcp-server-nakashima-takeo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-view-control-mcp-server-nakashima-takeo"
      ]
    }
  }
}
