Cline marketplace / cline_mcp_settings.json.

Prerequisite

Install the Screen Beaver Windows desktop app first. MCP only works after the software is installed and running — the agent talks to the studio over MCP; it does not replace the app.

Get from Microsoft Store, install it, then leave Screen Beaver open while you use your agent.

MCP CLI

After the desktop app is installed, install the MCP CLI once (shared by every client):

terminalshell
npm i -g @screenbeaver/mcp

Full npm notes: npm install page.

Open Cline’s MCP settings or marketplace and add a local stdio server pointing at screenbeaver-mcp.

Config

Config location: cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline extension settings)

cline_mcp_settings.jsonjson
{  "mcpServers": {    "screenbeaver": {      "command": "screenbeaver-mcp"    }  }}

Verify

Confirm Screen Beaver is running on Windows, then Start a Cline task and ask it to use Screen Beaver to film the walkthrough.

Prefer outcome prompts: “Capture onboarding, add captions, generate voiceover, prepare export.” The agent should call record_and_build or live_build_demo.
