localscreenshot MCP server

Which MCP servers are localscreenshot's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namecom.localscreenshot/localscreenshotverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under localscreenshot.com. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-22 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 518 ms.

  • Its tools do none of the product's use cases we checked: ask an AI agent for a web page screenshot; capture pages as seen from a chosen country; hide cookie banners and ads before capturing.
  • Checked on 5 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • take_demo_screenshot

    See what a localscreenshot result looks like: a real screenshot of one of our example pages. It does not capture a page of your choice. For that, create a free account and use the main MCP server with an API key.

  • list_countries

    List the countries a screenshot can be taken from, with their two-letter codes. Choosing a country needs an account: this free endpoint only lists them.

  • get_pricing

    What localscreenshot costs: the free credits every account gets each month, the limits of a free account, what a screenshot costs in credits, and where paid plans and credit packs start.

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "localscreenshot": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.localscreenshot.com/mcp/free"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http localscreenshot https://api.localscreenshot.com/mcp/free

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://api.localscreenshot.com/mcp/free as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
