screenshot-mcp

A robust Model Context Protocol (MCP) server written in Rust that enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to natively take screenshots across operating systems (Linux, Windows, macOS).

Exposes two tools:

• list_screenshot_targets: Get information about all active monitors and windows, including their IDs, process names, and window titles.
• take_screenshot: Takes the screenshot and returns the image inline as a base64-encoded standard MCP Image block. Supports screenshotting by monitor, window, and even pid (discovering the window dynamically by process ID, inclusive of child processes).

Installation

cargo install screenshot-mcp

Adding to Cursor / Claude

In your MCP client configurations, just point to the binary:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "screenshot-mcp": {
      "command": "screenshot-mcp"
    }
  }
}
