msty - privacy-first AI with screen context

Msty is a privacy-first AI platform (desktop + web) that natively supports MCP via its Toolbox feature — both STDIO and HTTP modes. screenpipe works out of the box with Msty, giving it access to your screen history, audio transcriptions, and more.

setup

STDIO mode

1. make sure screenpipe is running on your machine
2. open Msty and go to Settings → Toolbox
3. add a new tool with the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "screenpipe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "screenpipe-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

4. save and enable the tool

HTTP mode

if you need remote access, use the HTTP transport instead:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "screenpipe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "screenpipe-mcp-http", "--port", "3031"]
    }
  }
}

usage

once configured, Msty can search your screen history and get context about what you've been working on:

> what was I working on this morning?

> find that documentation about async/await patterns I was reading earlier

> what error messages have I seen in my terminal today?

> search for the API response format I was looking at in the browser

example workflows

recall context from earlier:

> I was reading a blog post about rust macros earlier today,
> search screenpipe and summarize the key points

reference meeting discussion:

> search my audio transcriptions for what was discussed
> about the deployment timeline, then help me plan next steps

debug from memory:

> I saw an error message flash on screen, search screenpipe
> to find it and help me fix the issue

find code examples:

> search screenpipe for the python code I was looking at
> in the browser yesterday about asyncio patterns

available tools

screenpipe provides these MCP tools to Msty:

• search-content - search screen OCR, audio transcriptions, input events
