# Take a screenshot and save it to a file screenshot_mcp_server-client output.jpg
from mcp import ClientSession, StdioServerParameters from mcp.client.stdio import stdio_client async with stdio_client(StdioServerParameters(command="screenshot_mcp_server-server")) as (read, write): async with ClientSession(read, write) as session: result = await session.call_tool("take_screenshot") # Process the screenshot data...
The server supports two transport modes:
To run in SSE mode:
screenshot_mcp_server-server-sse --port 3001
