Webcam Still Capture

by 13rac1

Lets an assistant take a still from your webcam and look at it.

Image Analysis, OCR & Vision
Summary
Showing the capture next to the model's reading of it is the honest way to document a vision tool.

Most vision integrations demo the good case and let you discover the failure modes yourself. Putting the actual frame beside what the model said about it tells you what resolution and framing you will need to get a useful answer. The obvious caution is the obvious one: this connects a camera in your room to a model, so it belongs on a machine and in a moment where you have decided that is fine.

What it is

A small Python server that gives an assistant access to a connected camera through OpenCV, returning stills it can then examine.

What you get

Access to and control of a connected webcam, with captured stills handed back for the model to analyse. Their README shows the captures beside what the model made of them.

Requirements

Python 3.10+, OpenCV and the MCP Python SDK; uv optional. MIT licensed.

Setup effort
