Universal Screenshot MCP
Gives Claude two screenshot tools: one for capturing web pages through Puppeteer's headless browser, and another for native system screenshots on macOS, Linux, and Windows. The web capture handles full pages, specific CSS selectors, and custom viewports. The system tool wraps native utilities like macOS screencapture, Linux maim/scrot, and Windows PowerShell to grab fullscreen, specific windows by name or ID, or arbitrary regions. Ships with SSRF protection, path traversal guards, and DNS rebinding defenses. Useful when you need Claude to document UI states, capture web content for analysis, or grab screenshots during automated workflows without leaving the chat.
