From the README
# Peekaboo 🫣 — Mac automation that sees the screen and does the clicks.
Peekaboo is a macOS CLI and menu-bar app for screen capture, accessibility inspection, and native UI automation. Use it directly, let its agent plan multi-step work, or expose the same toolset to MCP clients.
## Install
The released CLI and app require macOS 15 or later.
### CLI with Homebrew
```sh
brew install openclaw/tap/peekaboo
```
### MCP package with npm
The npm package requires Node.js 22 or later and includes the CLI plus its MCP launcher.
```sh
npx -y @steipete/peekaboo --version
```
See [MCP setup](docs/MCP.md) to connect it to Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or another MCP client.
### Mac app
Download the signed DMG from the [latest GitHub release](https://github.com/openclaw/Peekaboo/releases/latest). The menu-bar app provides permission onboarding, visual feedback, and agent sessions; install the CLI separately when you also need `peekaboo` on `PATH`.
