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.

    TDQS

    A4/5.0

    Scored across 7 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool targets a distinct aspect of the screenshot service: quota checking, job management (listing, status, results), and three distinct screenshot sources (web, mobile, HTML). No two tools have overlapping functionality.

    Naming Consistency4/5

    Tool names generally follow a verb_noun pattern (check_quota, get_job_result, get_job_status, list_jobs, render_html), but screenshot_mobile and screenshot_web use a noun-verb style. This minor inconsistency reduces the score slightly.

    Tool Count5/5

    With 7 tools, the server is well-scoped for its purpose: it covers screenshot generation from multiple sources, job tracking, and quota checking without unnecessary clutter.

    Completeness4/5

    The tool surface covers the core screenshot workflow (create, track, retrieve) and multiple input types. Minor gaps include no way to cancel/delete jobs or manage API keys, but these are not critical for basic usage.
