Point and Yap is a free, open-source Mac tool that sends what a user points at and what they say to a coding agent over MCP. Pressing Control twice starts a voice capture session while the user points at elements on screen.

The tool runs locally on macOS. Pressing Control twice opens a session in which the user talks while pointing at things on the screen, and both the spoken words and the pointed-at items are passed to a coding agent through the Model Context Protocol.

The maker, Marc Maurer, built it for personal use while working on UI with coding agents, after describing edits and taking screenshots by hand became tedious. The project is listed on Product Hunt under the Mac, Open Source and Developer Tools tags.

The listing describes the app as free and open source and asks for feedback on what is missing. The page does not name which coding agents are supported or give installation details.

## Why it matters if you build agents

Developers building or using coding agents can add a voice-and-pointer input channel that carries screen context without manual screenshots or typed descriptions.

Because the tool is described as local and open source, teams can review how it handles screen content and speech before relying on it. The listing does not say which agents work with it, so check MCP compatibility first.
