MCP tools · 1 exposed · ~149 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
capture_screenshot ~149

Capture a PNG screenshot of a public web page via the system Chrome, or on OpenScreenShot Cloud with cloud: true. Use redact to cover elements, text patterns, or rectangles with black boxes before the screenshot is taken, in either mode. The capture fails with no image if a selector matches nothing or the page changes during the capture.

Is the OpenScreenShot MCP server safe to use?

OpenScreenShot scores 85 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the OpenScreenShot MCP server expose?

OpenScreenShot exposes 1 tool: capture_screenshot. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 149 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the OpenScreenShot MCP server still maintained?

OpenScreenShot is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the OpenScreenShot MCP server under?

OpenScreenShot declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
