Code Screenshot Generator MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that enables Claude to create visually polished code screenshots with syntax highlighting and professional themes. It supports direct code input, file-based screenshots with line range selection, git diff visualization, and batch processing of multiple files. The tool automatically detects programming languages from file extensions and offers five customizable color themes including Dracula, Nord, Monokai, and GitHub variants. Teams use it to quickly generate visual code assets for documentation, tutorials, knowledge bases, and internal sharing without manual screenshot tools.

1. **Prepare your code**: Copy the code snippet you want to screenshot into your clipboard or a text editor. Ensure it’s free of syntax errors. 2. **Run the skill**: Paste the prompt template into Claude and replace `[CODE]` with your actual code. Specify any formatting preferences (e.g., font, background color). 3. **Download the output**: The AI will generate a link to the screenshot (e.g., via a placeholder URL). Right-click and save the image, or use the link directly in your documentation. 4. **Adjust for context**: If the screenshot is for a tutorial, add annotations (e.g., arrows, highlights) using tools like Canva or Preview (macOS). For internal docs, embed the image directly into your platform (e.g., GitHub, Notion). 5. **Batch process**: For multiple snippets, create a table in Markdown with separate images for each code block. Example: ```markdown | Code | Description | |------|-------------| |  | Function to validate user input | |  | API endpoint for fetching data | ``` Tip: Use a tool like `pandoc` to automate screenshot generation for large codebases.
