Openscreen Overview
getopenscreen/openscreen connects an AI agent to the OpenScreen desktop app through its MCP mode over stdio. Agents can record screens, edit projects with trims, zooms, captions, and annotations, then export MP4 or GIF videos. It also supports custom WGSL shader effects that render as previewed. Reach for it when an agent needs to produce product demos, walkthroughs, or change videos rather than only manipulate raw media files.
Primary Use Cases for Openscreen:
- Record a product walkthrough from an agent-driven desktop session
- Add a demo video for a code change to a pull request
- Trim and annotate screen recordings for documentation
- Export launch or feature videos as MP4 or GIF
