Problem Statement

Bug Description You cannot access screenshots taken by claude chrome to embed in a markdown document. It would be useful if you could choose to save screenshots locally as you can with Playwright MCP

I asked Claude Code and it said:

Correct. The screenshots taken with the Claude Chrome extension
(mcp__claude-in-chrome__computer with action "screenshot") are:

1. Displayed in the conversation - I can see them when they're returned
2. Given reference IDs (like ss_92495b3gs) - for use with tools like upload_image
3. NOT saved to disk - they're not written as files to the filesystem

So I cannot:

• Access them later as files
• Convert them to base64
• Embed them in a markdown document
