site-shot-mcp
OfficialThis server lets AI agents visually capture and inspect any web page by taking screenshots using a real Chromium browser via the Site-Shot API.
Two primary tools are available:
capture_screenshot— general-purpose screenshot capturecapture_full_page— convenience wrapper specifically for full-page captures
Key capabilities:
Viewport & full-page capture: Capture just the visible viewport or the entire scrollable page height
Custom viewport size: Set width (100–8000px) and height (100–20000px)
Image format: Choose between PNG (default) or JPEG
Country proxies: Render through proxies in specific countries using ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes (e.g.
"DE"for Germany), auto-setting IP, language, time zone, and geolocation;strict_countryis enabled by default to prevent silent fallback to US proxiesManual overrides: Independently set
language,time_zone, orgeolocationregardless of proxy countryAd blocking: Automatically remove advertisements for cleaner images (enabled by default)
Cookie banner removal: Automatically remove cookie-consent popups (enabled by default)
Wait before capture: Add a delay up to 30 seconds to allow SPAs or animations to fully load
Max height cap: Limit full-page screenshot height up to 20,000px
Direct image return: Screenshots are returned as MCP image objects for immediate use by AI agents
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@site-shot-mcpCapture a full-page screenshot of https://news.ycombinator.com"
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.
Site-Shot MCP server
Give Claude, Cursor, and other AI agents the ability to see any web page — take website screenshots with Site-Shot over the Model Context Protocol.
Real Chromium rendering · full-page capture · country proxies · automatic ad & cookie-banner removal (cleaner images, fewer vision tokens).
Quick start (Claude Desktop)
Get a Site-Shot API key at https://www.site-shot.com/pricing/.
Add this to your Claude Desktop config (
claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"site-shot": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "site-shot-mcp"],
"env": { "SITESHOT_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY" }
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop. Ask it to "take a full-page screenshot of https://news.ycombinator.com" and it will call the server and show you the image.
Works the same way in any MCP client (Cursor, Cline, VS Code, LangChain, CrewAI) — point the client at
npx -y site-shot-mcp with SITESHOT_API_KEY in the environment.

Tools
capture_screenshot
Screenshot a web page (viewport by default).
Param | Type | Default | Notes |
| string (required) | — | Page to capture |
| boolean |
| Capture the whole scrollable page |
| number | 1280 / 1024 | Viewport / device size |
|
|
| Image format |
| boolean |
| Remove ads |
| boolean |
| Remove cookie-consent popups |
| string | — | Proxy country as a two-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, e.g. |
| boolean |
| Error out if the country has no proxy, instead of falling back to the US |
| string | — | Manual overrides |
| number | — | Wait before capture (SPAs/animations) |
| number | 20000 (full page) | Cap captured height |
Returns the screenshot as an MCP image.
Country codes are ISO codes, never names. Pass
"DE", not"Germany". The API matches codes exactly and would otherwise render through a US proxy without telling you, so the server rejects full names before spending a render.strict_country(on by default) likewise turns an unavailable country into an error instead of a silent US screenshot — passfalseto opt back into the fallback. Supported countries →
capture_full_page
Same as capture_screenshot with full-page capture enabled.
Configuration
