Provides screen capture and optical character recognition (OCR) capabilities for entire displays or specific application windows. It enables users to list running applications, take screenshots, and extract text from images using multi-language support.
Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.
These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.
capture_screenCaptures a screenshot of the specified display
capture_application_screenCaptures a screenshot of a specific application window
list_applicationsLists all running applications that can be captured
extract_textExtracts text from an image using OCR
capture_screen_and_extract_textCaptures a screenshot and extracts text from it in one operation. Can capture full screen or a specific application window.

Tool annotations
No tools have read-only/destructive annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
5/5 tools missing one or more hints — capture_screen (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); capture_application_screen (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); list_applications (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +2 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
License file
No license file
Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
Production dependencies are patched
1 critical, 4 high severity in production deps — screenshot-desktop@1.15.1 (critical), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.15.0 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
