Captures a screenshot from a camera and returns it as an image. If no camera is specified, uses the Main Camera. Returns the image directly for visual inspection by the LLM.
unity-mcp-cli run-tool screenshot-camera --input '{
"cameraRef": "string_value",
"width": 0,
"height": 0
}'
For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
unity-mcp-cli run-tool screenshot-camera --input-file args.jsonOr pipe via stdin (recommended):
unity-mcp-cli run-tool screenshot-camera --input-file - <<'EOF' {"param": "value"} EOF
If unity-mcp-cli is not found, either install it globally () or use instead.
Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.
