Freezetext MCP Overview

The juergenkoller-software/freezetext-mcp MCP server connects MCP clients to FreezeText, a native macOS app that captures and OCRs visible screen content. It exposes tools for full-screen capture, region OCR, base64 image OCR, searchable history, exports, and OCR language settings. Calls use stdio between the client and server, then reach FreezeText through its local HTTP API; OCR remains local through Apple Vision. Reach for it when an agent needs text from videos, popups, protected PDFs, hover tooltips, screenshots, or stored captures on macOS.
