Screenshot to Base64

About

This tool functions as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to resolve the frequent error encountered when sending image files, particularly screenshots, to LMStudio vision models that require base64 encoded images. It automatically takes various image formats—including PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, BMP, and SVG—and transforms them into the correct base64 data URI format with proper MIME type detection. This eliminates the need for manual conversion, ensuring smooth operation with LMStudio and other MCP-compatible clients like KILO CODE, Cline, Roo-Code, Claude Desktop, and Continue.dev.

Key Features

• Supports multiple image formats: PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, BMP, SVG
• Automatically detects and applies correct MIME types for converted images
• Provides clear error messages for missing or invalid image files
• 0 GitHub stars
• Easy integration with KILO CODE and other MCP clients
• Lightweight with minimal dependencies (only MCP SDK)

Use Cases

• Streamlining the process of providing visual input to vision models in applications like KILO CODE and Cline
• Automating image conversion to base64 for AI agent workflows within MCP-compatible development environments
• Sending screenshots to LMStudio vision models without encountering 'url field must be a base64 encoded image' errors
