Continue

Continue.dev — MCP in config.yaml / IDE settings.

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.

Add Screen Beaver under Continue’s MCP servers (same stdio command). Restart the Continue extension if tools don’t appear.

Config

Config location: Continue config (IDE) / MCP servers section

configjson
{  "mcpServers": {    "screenbeaver": {      "command": "screenbeaver-mcp"    }  }}

Verify

Confirm Screen Beaver is running on Windows, then In Continue chat, confirm tools load, then request a Screen Beaver demo capture.

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