  • takeScreenshot: Captures a screenshot of a specific window by its ID.

  2. Add configuration
  3. Restart Claude Desktop after saving config

Using pipx First install with: pipx install mcp-server-screeny

Setup

  1. Grant Screen Capture Permission (Required)
  2. Window Approval (Required)

Security & Privacy

  • Only user-approved windows can be captured...

Troubleshooting# Permission Issues
