Keyboard capture shortcut

The user-facing part.

Trigger video capture without reaching for your mouse. Pressing the keyboard shortcut sends the URL of the active browser tab to the local helper instantly. The helper starts the extraction, formats the markdown document, and places it onto your clipboard in the background. You can customize the keyboard combination to match your existing window management settings.

Run the loop.

1. Open Chrome's extension keyboard settings.
2. Bind Uoink to your preferred keys.
3. Open any public video page.
4. Press your configured keyboard combination.
5. Check the system tray icon for progress status.

How Uoink handles it.

The extension listens for the global commands API event registered in the manifest. When the shortcut is triggered, the background script queries the active window to retrieve the tab URL. It forwards the request to the local API endpoint on port 5179. The helper processes the URL, creates the directory structure on disk, and populates the database index.

Agent-readable surface.

Full server metadata lives at /mcp and /mcp/manifest.json.
