Tool

Description

Example

screenshot_one_liner

One URL, one screenshot

screenshot_one_liner(url="https://github.com")

screenshot

Full control: viewport, full-page, CSS selector, format

screenshot(url="https://github.com", selector="#hero")

render

Render HTML/CSS to image — Agent writes code, sees result instantly

render(html="<h1>Hello</h1>")

The render tool closes the feedback loop: write code → render → see → revise → render again.

Why ShotAPI?

  • MCP-native — No glue code. Agent calls tools directly in conversation.

  • Zero install remote mode — streamable-http, no Python/Playwright needed.

  • Direct China access — No VPN required. WeChat/Alipay payment.

  • Free tier — 100 screenshots + 100 renders/month, IP-based, no signup.

  • Render capability — Not just screenshots of existing pages. Render Agent-generated HTML.

  • Built-in ad blocking — Cleaner screenshots, less noise.
