Let AI agents see and interact with terminal/CLI apps via PNG screenshots

Install

claude mcp add can-see -- npx -y [email protected]

Requires: DEFAULT_COLS, DEFAULT_ROWS, IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS

Our take

Gives agents eyes on terminal UIs: launches CLI apps in a headless virtual terminal (node-pty + xterm) and returns PNG screenshots the model can actually read — colors, layout, cursor position and all — plus keystroke injection to drive the app. Clever and real, with one practical caveat: node-canvas and node-pty need native compilation, so expect a build-tools fight on some systems. Registry metadata (0.4.0) lags the npm release line (0.5.1).
