What can you do with this server?

The SnapRender MCP server provides three core capabilities: * Take Screenshots (take_screenshot): Capture any website (http/https) as PNG, JPEG, WebP, or PDF with extensive options: * Custom viewport dimensions (width: 320–3840px, height: 200–10000px) * Device emulation: iPhone 14, iPhone 15 Pro, Pixel 7, iPad Pro, MacBook Pro * Dark mode CSS emulation * Full-page (scrollable) capture * Ad/tracker blocking and cookie banner removal (both enabled by default) * Delay after page load (0–10000ms) * Hide or click specific elements via CSS selectors before capture * JPEG/WebP quality control (1–100) * Check Screenshot Cache (check_screenshot_cache): Verify if a screenshot for a given URL and format is already cached — without consuming any quota. * Get Usage Statistics (get_usage): Retrieve your current (or specified) month's screenshot usage, including screenshots used, limit, and remaining quota.

Which integrations are available for this server?

Provides an OpenAPI specification for ChatGPT Actions and OpenAI function calling, enabling AI models to capture website screenshots programmatically. Offers pre-built Postman collections to simplify testing and integration with the SnapRender Screenshot API.

SnapRender Integrations

npm MCP npm SDK PyPI SDK License: MIT

Official integrations for SnapRender Screenshot API — capture screenshots of any website as PNG, JPEG, WebP, or PDF.

Remote MCP Server

SnapRender runs a hosted MCP server — connect from any MCP client with zero install:

https://app.snap-render.com/mcp

Transport: Streamable HTTP (MCP spec 2025-03-26)
Auth: X-API-Key header or Authorization: Bearer header
Tools: take_screenshot, check_screenshot_cache, get_usage
Prompts: screenshot_website, compare_devices

Claude Desktop (remote — recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snaprender": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://app.snap-render.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_live_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Any MCP client (curl)

# Initialize a session
curl -X POST https://app.snap-render.com/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -H "X-API-Key: sk_live_your_key_here" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}'

The server returns an Mcp-Session-Id header — include it in subsequent requests to reuse the session.

Smithery

Install via Smithery for automatic setup with any MCP client.

Local MCP Server (npm)
