What is the Screenpipe MCP server?

Most knowledge and memory work still happens through a UI a human drives. Screenpipe MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. screenpipe remembers how you actually work It captures what you see, say, and do, locally, 24/7, then turns real work into searchable memory, SOPs, and automations for AI agents.

The short version

screenpipe turns your computer into a personal AI that knows everything you've done. record. search. automate. all local, all private, all yours

Getting it running

Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: SCREENPIPE_AUDIO_EXCLUSIONS_PATH. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Things to watch

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Plenty of knowledge and memory servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. It is maintained by mediar-ai; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Screenpipe to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Screenpipe directly.
