This project provides an MCP server designed to capture screenshots and facilitate their use by other processes or AI assistants, primarily by saving the screenshot to a file path specified by the client (Host).
The Screenshot Server is a Modular Communication Protocol (MCP) server that captures screenshots and saves them to specified file paths, facilitating their use by AI assistants or other processes. The server is designed to work seamlessly with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) environments, converting WSL paths to Windows-accessible UNC paths for file storage. This approach addresses the unreliability of directly interpreting screenshot image data sent via MCP by AI assistants. The server supports workflows where screenshots are saved directly into the AI assistant's workspace or to a fixed directory for further processing. It is essential for the server to run on Windows to capture the screen effectively, and it can be launched by an MCP Host configured to run on WSL.
Features
- Seamless integration with WSL environments by converting WSL paths to Windows UNC paths.
- Ability to save screenshots directly into the AI assistant's workspace.
- Option to save screenshots to a fixed directory and return the absolute path for further processing.
- Supports custom file naming and directory specification for saved screenshots.
- Runs on Windows to capture the screen, while being launched by an MCP Host in WSL.
