README
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.
