Manage Your Windows & Monitors with AI
Let Claude, Cursor, VS Code or ChatGPT list, move, resize, and focus your open windows across every monitor on Windows. Free, local, no admin rights needed.
To let Claude arrange your windows on Windows, install LMCP — a free local MCP server that lists your open windows and monitors and can move, resize, or focus any of them by description. No screen-recording, no window-manager app to configure — it works with whatever is already open.
What You Can Do
- List open windows — window title, owning app, and position for everything open
- List displays — every monitor attached, with its bounds
- Focus a window — bring it to the front
- Move & resize a window — set its exact position and size, or snap it to a monitor
How to Install
Download LMCP for Windows and install it:
- Run the downloaded
LMCP-Setup.exefrom your Downloads folder - Follow the installer — no admin rights needed, it installs to your user folder
- LMCP starts automatically and appears in your system tray
Takes about 30 seconds. Your AI clients are configured automatically.
Example Prompts
- “What windows do I have open right now?” — lists everything, with which monitor each is on
- “Move this window to my second monitor” — relocates it
- “Arrange my open windows side by side” — positions two or more windows to split the screen
- “Bring Outlook to the front” — focuses a specific window by app name
Real-World Workflow
Set up a focus layout
List my open windows. Put Outlook on my left monitor, my browser on the right, and minimize everything else.
Your AI reads what's open across every monitor and arranges it in one step — useful for a repeatable workspace layout without a separate window-manager app.
LMCP also connects your AI assistant to UI automation for any Windows app, Outlook and Microsoft Teams. See the full list of guides or learn more at local-mcp.com.
Limitations
- Windows-only — there is no equivalent window-management tool on macOS or Linux in LMCP.
- Standard windows only — some apps (certain games, some virtualized or elevated windows) may not report a movable frame.
- Snapping is by coordinates — LMCP moves a window to the position and size you or your AI specify; it does not know app-specific “preferred” layouts beyond what you describe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Claude move this window to my second monitor?
Yes — list your displays, then ask your AI to move a specific window to one of them.
Can I ask Claude to organize my open windows on Windows?
Yes. Describe the layout you want — side by side, one per monitor — and your AI lists what's open and arranges it.
Does this need admin rights?
No — LMCP installs and runs per-user, no administrator approval needed.
