mcp-screenshot-server: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

mcp-screenshot-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from sethbang/mcp-screenshot-server. It costs 1,222 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for an MCP server that gives AI assistants tools to capture web-page and computer-screen screenshots. MCP is a standard way for software tools to connect to AI assistants.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or testing the screenshot server, including its browser-based, operating-system, integration, and end-to-end tests.
Why use it?
They explain how the project is structured, configured, built, tested, and debugged, so contributors know how to work on it.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is sethbang/mcp-screenshot-server's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-screenshot-server itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mcp-screenshot-server configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-screenshot-server CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What This Is

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides two screenshot tools to AI assistants:

  • take_screenshot — web page capture via headless Puppeteer/Chromium
  • take_system_screenshot — cross-platform system screenshots using native OS tools (macOS screencapture, Linux maim/scrot/etc., Windows PowerShell+.NET)

Published to npm as universal-screenshot-mcp.

Commands

npm run build            # TypeScript → build/ (also runs on npm install via "prepare")
npm run watch            # Recompile on change
npm test                 # Unit tests only (fast, fully mocked)
npm run test:integration # Integration tests (real DNS, real filesystem)
npm run test:e2e         # E2E tests (real Puppeteer, real screencapture)
npm run test:all         # All tiers together
npm run test:linux       # Linux e2e via Docker (Xvfb + maim/scrot/import)
npm run test:watch       # Watch mode
npm run test:coverage    # With coverage
npm run lint             # ESLint on src/
npm run inspector        # Launch MCP Inspector for interactive tool debugging

Run a single test file: npx vitest run tests/validators/url.test.ts

Environment Variables

  • ALLOW_LOCAL=true — Permit loopback addresses (127.x.x.x, ::1, localhost) through SSRF validation. Useful for screenshotting local dev servers. Off by default.
  • SCREENSHOT_OUTPUT_DIR — Override the default screenshot output directory (relative to ~). Defaults to ~/Documents/screenshots.

Architecture

ESM-only ("type": "module"), TypeScript strict mode, target ES2022, Node16 module resolution. Output goes to build/.

Entry flow

src/index.ts → passes a createServer factory (from src/server.ts) to serveStdio(). server.ts registers both tools on an McpServer instance.

serveStdio() owns the protocol-era decision: the opening exchange selects the era and pins one server instance for the connection's lifetime. Its legacy option is deliberately left at the default 'serve' so clients still speaking the 2025-era initialize handshake keep working — passing 'reject' would break every currently-installed client.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
