Mcp Screenshot
Let your coding agent capture UI screenshots for bug reports and docs without leaking emails, names, or other PII in the image.

What is this MCP server?
- Cross-platform screenshot capture callable from MCP-compatible agents
- Built-in PII masking so support and test artifacts are safer to share
- Stdio npm package (@ai-capabilities-suite/mcp-screenshot) for local agent wiring
- Suited for regression notes, visual diffs, and handoff to designers or users
- Version 1.0.3 published on the Model Context Protocol server schema

What problem does it solve?
Manual screenshots leak personal data and break agent workflows when every bug report needs a safe, repeatable image.
Who is it for?
Solo builders who let agents document UI bugs, onboarding flows, or visual regressions and need automatic redaction before sharing.
Skip if: Teams that need full headless browser automation, DOM inspection, or pixel-diff pipelines without a separate tool.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can attach masked screen captures to tickets and test notes without you leaving the editor to redact sensitive UI.
- Agent-invokable screenshot files suitable for issues and test logs
- PII-masked captures safer for Slack, email, or public bug threads
- Repeatable capture step inside agent-driven ship and review workflows
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Screenshot evidence lands hardest during ship when you reproduce bugs, file issues, and validate fixes before release. Testing and QA workflows need repeatable captures across OSes; this MCP exposes capture as an agent tool instead of manual snipping.
How it compares
Focused screenshot MCP with PII masking, not a full Playwright-style browser agent skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is mcp-screenshot for?
Indie developers and small teams using Claude Code, Cursor, or other MCP hosts who want agents to capture UI state for testing and support without exposing PII.
When should I use mcp-screenshot?
Use it during ship and QA when you need visual proof of a bug, flow, or layout issue and want masking applied before the image leaves your machine.
How do I add mcp-screenshot to my agent?
Install the npm package @ai-capabilities-suite/mcp-screenshot, add a stdio MCP server entry pointing at that binary in your host config, then restart the agent so capture tools appear.
