OpenScreenShot Overview

OpenScreenShot MCP server captures website screenshots through a locally installed browser, including visible viewport and full-page captures. Processing stays local, and the browser extension can edit, annotate, redact, and export captures. Use it when an MCP client needs local website imagery without sending page content to a hosted screenshot service. The README identifies the MCP server as local and notes that client setup is required.
