Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check MCP Screenshot every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: WAYLAND_DISPLAY (Wayland display identifier (e.g. wayland-1). Required for grim to find the compositor.), XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (Wayland runtime directory (e.g. /run/user/1000). Required for socket lookup.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP Screenshot — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Screenshot?

MCP Screenshot runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package mcp-screenshot was installed 80 times last week.

How do I connect MCP Screenshot?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-screenshot straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use MCP Screenshot?

The pypi package mcp-screenshot was installed 80 times in the last week. Week over week that is -4%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is MCP Screenshot open source?

We cannot say either way: written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
