That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
screenshotfreeapi-mcp
MCP server for ScreenshotFreeAPI — capture websites, render HTML/PDF, and fetch app store listing screenshots from any MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Cline, Windsurf, etc.).
Setup
Get an API key from your ScreenshotFreeAPI dashboard, then add this server to your MCP client's config.
Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"screenshotfreeapi": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "screenshotfreeapi-mcp"],
"env": {
"SCREENSHOTFREEAPI_KEY": "sfa_your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}Other MCP clients (Cursor, Cline, Windsurf) use the same command/args/env shape in their own config file — consult your client's docs for the config file location.
