README

screenshot-mcp

An MCP server that captures full-monitor screenshots and returns them inline (base64) or as a saved file. Supports macOS, native Linux (X11 and Wayland), native Windows, and WSL2.

Tools

`list_monitors`

Lists all connected monitors with their index, resolution, and primary status. Call this first to find monitor indices.

`take_screenshot`

Captures a screenshot of one monitor.

Argument	Type	Default	Description
`monitor`	integer	`0`	Monitor index from `list_monitors`
`return`	`"inline"` \| `"path"`	`"inline"`	`inline` = base64 PNG in response (Claude sees it); `path` = save to disk, return the file path
`path`	string	temp file	Output path. Only used when `return="path"`

Tip: Very high-res monitors (4K, 5K) produce large base64 blobs. If you hit context limits, switch to return="path" and use the Read tool to view the file.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/you/screenshot-mcp
cd screenshot-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Platform requirements

Platform	Requirement
macOS	Nothing extra — uses `screencapture` and `system_profiler` (built in)
Native Linux / X11	`scrot` or `imagemagick`: `sudo apt install scrot`
Native Linux / Wayland	`grim` + `wlr-randr`: `sudo apt install grim wlr-randr`
Native Windows	Nothing extra — uses PowerShell + `System.Drawing`
WSL2	Nothing extra — shells out to `powershell.exe` on the Windows side

Configure in Claude Code

claude mcp add screenshot node /absolute/path/to/screenshot-mcp/dist/index.js

Configure in Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "screenshot": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/screenshot-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

How WSL2 works

WSL2 doesn't have direct access to the Windows display. This server detects WSL (via /proc/version or WSL_DISTRO_NAME) and shells out to powershell.exe to run a capture script using System.Windows.Forms.Screen and System.Drawing. The PNG is written to the Linux /tmp filesystem via the \\wsl.localhost\... UNC path and then read back.
