What it does

Framegrab MCP Server allows AI agents to capture real-time images from various video sources. It leverages the framegrab library to interface with local hardware (webcams) or network streams (RTSP, YouTube), enabling the AI to "see" a live feed by requesting frames on demand.

Tools

create_framegrabber: Initialize a new image capture source from a configuration.
grab_frame: Capture a frame from a specified grabber in png, jpg, or webp format.
list_framegrabbers: List all active image capture sources.
get_framegrabber_config: Retrieve current settings for a specific grabber.
set_framegrabber_config: Update configuration options for a capture source.
release_framegrabber: Close and remove a capture source.
