npx -y @anthropic-ai/claude-code@latest --mcp https://aiphotoshop.mynatapp.cc/mcp

  "mcpServers": {
    "shotapi": {

3 MCP Tools

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?
