Status as of July 20–21, 2026
Submission readiness
Capture correctness is verified on the installed 0.2.7 bundle. Directory submission still depends on release, clean-machine, manifest, annotation, documentation, and repository decisions.
Current build
- Version: Koga Lens 0.2.7
- Format: Windows desktop application and Claude Desktop MCP extension
- Tool:
GetCurrentView, with no parameters - Installed verification: completed on the development machine using real Notepad and browser windows
Distribution and directory listing are different
An MCPB bundle can be distributed directly for manual installation without a directory listing. A Claude Connectors Directory listing is a separate discovery path with submission requirements, automated policy scanning, and a potential later verified review.
This website does not offer a public download because the handoff does not provide a verified public download URL.
Verified and complete
- Simple and dense text reads on the installed 0.2.7 bundle.
- Frozen-frame regression checks after content changes and after switching between browser applications.
- Stop-clear behavior and explicit no-frame state.
- Exact returned-image preview, byte identity checks, and hash comparison across preview, response metadata, and audit entry.
- Local capture design with one user-approved window and explicit freshness enforcement.
Submission gates still open
- Clean-machine installation: cold install and run on a vanilla Windows machine with Claude Desktop. This remains the highest-value unknown.
- First-contact STOPPED response: confirm that a reviewer who calls the tool before sharing receives useful guidance.
- Privacy publication: publish a stable HTTPS policy and reference it from the extension manifest.
- Manifest and annotations: confirm manifest version 0.2 or later, the privacy policy URL, and emitted
titleandreadOnlyHint: truetool annotations. - Public documentation: make documentation public by publish date; it may be shared privately during review.
- Repository decision: scan full Git history, then make the private repository public only if proceeding with directory submission. That irreversible step is last.
Recommended order
- Choose manual distribution or directory listing.
- Run clean-machine, remaining non-Notepad, and STOPPED first-contact checks.
- Publish privacy and add the manifest policy URL.
- Verify tool annotations using MCP Inspector and rebuild if needed.
- Complete public documentation.
- Scan Git history and, only for the directory path, make the repository public.
- Submit through the desktop-extension MCPB form with the reviewer runbook and example prompts.
Reviewer runbook summary
- Use Windows 10 or 11 with Claude Desktop.
- Install the 0.2.7 MCPB, fully quit Claude Desktop, and relaunch it.
- Launch the Koga Lens tray application.
- Open a window, select it in the tray, and activate sharing.
- Ask Claude to call
GetCurrentView.
Calling before sharing returns STOPPED. That is expected behavior; activate sharing and retry.
