MacOS Vision MCP Server

by woladi

Extract text from images and PDFs privately on your Mac.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Read the text in this screenshot”, on your own computer the MacOS Vision MCP Server works with your Mac, and you get back the text, ready to copy.

This lets your AI assistant read text off pictures, scanned papers, and PDFs while keeping those files safely on your computer. If you handle sensitive paperwork such as signed forms, bills, ID cards, bank statements, medical notes, legal drafts, tax records, or confidential business plans, having the text pulled out locally keeps clients' details away from outside servers. Because nothing gets uploaded, nobody snooping online can intercept your information mid-flight, everything happens quietly within your device until results pop up in our chat together.
