Troubleshooting
app_unavailable: start the website build of Framecap; the App Store build has no bridge.permission_required: grant Screen Recording and restart Framecap. Do not reset TCC.- Python missing: install Python 3.8+ from a trusted source and put its absolute path in MCP config; the GUI still works without Python.
- Client shows no tools: verify absolute paths, restart/reconnect, then inspect client logs. GUI clients may not inherit shell PATH.
file_exists: choose a new output; use overwrite only when explicitly intended.- timeout: inspect the output/session before retrying.
- scroll
paused: restore overlap and sample again; it is not an appended frame. - wrong coordinates: distinguish display points from source pixels and check Retina scale.
- malformed config or an existing different
framecapentry: the config tool stops instead of overwriting it.
