Roo Code

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):

1npm i -g @screenbeaver/mcp

Full npm notes: npm install page.

Add a custom MCP server in Roo Code settings with command screenbeaver-mcp.

Config

Config location: Roo Code MCP settings

1234567{  "mcpServers": {    "screenbeaver": {      "command": "screenbeaver-mcp"    }  }}

Verify

Confirm Screen Beaver is running on Windows, then Run an agent mode task and ask Roo to call Screen Beaver tools.

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