Evid connects macOS workflow to AI via MCP
Evid is a local-first macOS application that uses the Accessibility API to provide AI assistants with real-time context of a user's active workflow. By functioning as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, it allows AI tools to query what is happening on-screen without the need for manual copy-pasting.
// ANALYSIS
Evid solves the "context gap" by letting AI see your active work without the privacy risks or performance overhead of pixel-based screen recording.
- –Uses the macOS Accessibility API to read underlying text layers (AX tree) rather than scraping raw pixels
- –Native MCP integration makes it compatible with any MCP-enabled AI client, including Claude Desktop and Cursor
- –Local-first architecture ensures that all captured data stays on the device with no account required
- –Hardcoded redaction automatically skips sensitive windows like password managers and banking sites
- –Free and notarized by Apple, positioning it as a lightweight and trustworthy utility for AI-augmented productivity
