Marey Overview

The Marey MCP server captures screen activity and presents motion as timestamped contact sheets rather than video. It supports fixed-duration and user-controlled recordings, single screenshots, window discovery, time-range frame extraction, and full-resolution frame retrieval. Reach for it when a UI bug, animation, drag interaction, or state transition cannot be diagnosed from one screenshot. Install it with npx through an MCP client; the README states that no runtime dependencies or repository clone are required.
