Use Screenshot Capture MCP with multiple AI models
TypingMind connects MCP tools at the workspace level, so once Screenshot Capture is connected, you can use it with different AI models in TypingMind instead of setting it up separately for each model. This MCP runs locally through the TypingMind MCP connector on your device.
Setup guide to use the local connector
Use this when the MCP server needs access to local files, apps, or private resources on your computer.
Open the MCP settings
In TypingMind, go to Settings, Advanced Settings, then Model Context Protocol and choose Setup Connector.
- Open TypingMind in your browser.
- Click the Settings icon.
- Go to Advanced Settings.
- Open the Model Context Protocol section.
- Click Setup Connector and choose This Device.
Run the connector command
Choose This Device, copy the command from TypingMind, and run it in Terminal. Keep the process running while you use MCP.
- Copy the setup command shown by TypingMind.
- Open Terminal on macOS or Windows Terminal on Windows.
- Paste and run the command.
- Approve the package install if Terminal asks you to proceed.
- Keep the Terminal window running while using MCP tools.
Add Screenshot Capture as a server
When the connector status is Ready, click Edit Servers and paste the MCP server configuration.
- Wait until the connector status shows Ready.
- Click Edit Servers.
- Paste the Screenshot Capture MCP server configuration.
- Save the server list.
- Refresh if you want to confirm the connector is still ready.
