What it is

Peekaboo is a macOS CLI and menu-bar app for screen capture, accessibility inspection, and native UI automation. It can run directly, operate an agent, or be exposed to MCP clients. The project provides a CLI, a Mac app, and an MCP launcher via npm.

How it works

The tool observes the screen, identifies UI elements, and can interact with them (click, type, etc.). It offers an agent command to execute natural-language driven workflows and an MCP integration to connect with other clients.

Getting started

Install options include:

brew install steipete/tap/peekaboo

npx -y @steipete/peekaboo --version

The Mac app is downloaded from the latest GitHub release. See installation guide for source builds and alternative install details.

Quick start examples:

peekaboo permissions status
peekaboo image --mode screen --path /tmp/peekaboo-screen.png

peekaboo see --app Finder --json

peekaboo click "Address and search bar" --app Safari
peekaboo type "github.com/openclaw/Peekaboo" --app Safari --return

peekaboo agent "Open Safari, go to github.com, and search for Peekaboo"

Getting started (continued)

Configuration and credentials are stored under ~/.peekaboo. Use peekaboo config to inspect or change them. Shell completions are available via peekaboo completions.
