Macos Vision MCP Overview

The woladi/macos-vision-mcp MCP server exposes macOS Vision Framework capabilities to MCP clients for local OCR, image analysis, document inspection, and screen reading. It processes images, PDFs, and screenshots on the Mac, returning text, coordinates, classifications, detections, accessibility data, or pass/fail assertions instead of image bytes. Use it when an agent needs to inspect documents or interact with visible Mac UI without sending files or screenshots to a cloud service. It requires macOS and has no API key requirement.
