Install the GazeSight Firefox extension, then run
npx gazesight setup. Pin the extension to your toolbar so
you can select and reauthorize tabs quickly.
From your project directory, run
npx gazesight setup. It
generates a local pairing token and configures your coding agent's MCP
connection to GazeSight.
Click the GazeSight icon in the toolbar (or use the extension's
selection shortcut) on the tab you want your agent to see. Reauthorizing
is always required when you navigate to a different origin.
Enable Continuous Access to skip it for same-origin reloads,
navigation and responsive previews.
Background Capture is off by default. Enabling it requests the optional
<all_urls> permission so your authorized tab stays
capturable even outside localhost and while it isn't the active tab —
GazeSight still restricts every operation to that one authorized tab.
It's independent from Continuous Access, though both can share the same
permission.
Open the GazeSight popup on your authorized tab and use the manual
download action. It requests the optional downloads permission the first
time, then saves a PNG straight to your device.
Agent Guidance is short, local guidance GazeSight includes in the MCP
connection so your coding agent knows how to use visual tools well, plus
an optional Visual Fidelity Mode for close visual-reproduction tasks. It
never overrides your own instructions to the agent. Changing either
setting takes effect on your agent's next MCP reconnect.
No. GazeSight does not operate a cloud capture backend. Captures go from
your browser to your local MCP runtime and then to the coding agent you
configure.
An optional setting that keeps your selected tab authorized across
reloads, same-origin navigation and responsive previews, so you
don't have to click the extension again each time. It uses the
same optional permission as Background Capture. Navigating to a
different origin still always requires reauthorizing.
