get_screenshot
Diagnostic-only capture; returns a managed PNG path, dimensions, and SHA-256 by default. Raw image content requires data.includeimage=true plus AUTOCADMCPALLOWINLINEIMAGES=true.
How to use it
get_screenshot is exposed by the AutoCAD MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the get_screenshot tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.
