Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account User0856 for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

SnapRender's local stdio MCP server lets an assistant capture web pages as images or PDFs, extract page content, and manage screenshot batches and webhooks.

What you can do: Capture a URL as PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF with device presets, full page, dark mode and selector options
Check whether a capture is already cached and read monthly usage and quota
Create signed screenshot links that render without an API key
Extract page content as markdown, text, HTML, article, links or metadata
Run background batches of up to 50 URLs and poll their status and download links
List, create, delete and test webhook subscriptions
When to use it: Useful when an assistant needs to see or archive public web pages, turn a page into readable markdown, or capture many URLs at once for reports and comparisons. The same tools are also offered by a hosted remote server if you prefer not to run anything locally.
Requirements: Runs locally via npx, so Node.js is needed. Requires a SnapRender API key supplied in the SNAPRENDER_API_KEY environment variable; a free plan with 200 screenshots a month is available. Network access to the SnapRender service is required.

Before you install

The API key is a live secret passed in an environment variable, so keep it out of shared configs. Captures consume a monthly quota: screenshots, signed links when opened, content extraction and each batch URL count as captures. Webhook tools create, delete and send test payloads to external endpoints. Page URLs and options are sent to SnapRender's servers.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open SnapRender in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

SnapRender Integrations

[SnapRender MCP connector: tool definition quality and endpoint health on Glama] [smithery badge] [npm MCP] [npm SDK] [PyPI SDK] [License: MIT] [Available on CodeGuilds] [MCP Badge]

Official integrations for the SnapRender Screenshot API: give AI agents eyes. Capture any public web page as PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF, or read it as clean markdown.

Remote MCP Server (recommended)

SnapRender runs a hosted MCP server. Connect from any MCP client with nothing to install:

Transport: Streamable HTTP
Sign in: OAuth 2.0 (the client opens a SnapRender sign-in window; Google, GitHub or email), or an API key in the Authorization: Bearer or X-API-Key header
Tools (11): capture, cache check, usage, signed links, content extraction, batches and webhooks (full list below)
Prompts: screenshot_website, compare_devices
Free plan: 200 screenshots a month, no credit card
Directory listing: SnapRender on Glama (health-checked, tool quality graded)

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

Open Customize, then Connectors, click + Add, then Add custom connector, and paste https://app.snap-render.com/mcp. Claude opens a SnapRender sign-in window; approve it and the tools are ready. Step-by-step guide: snap-render.com/claude.

Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and other clients

Setup pages for each client, with one-click install where the client supports it: snap-render.com/ai-connectors.

A client that takes headers instead of OAuth:

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "snaprender": {      "url": "https://app.snap-render.com/mcp",      "headers": {        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_live_your_key_here"      }    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "snaprender": {      "url": "https://app.snap-render.com/mcp",      "headers": {        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_live_your_key_here"      }    }  }}

Any MCP client (curl)

bash

# Initialize a sessioncurl -X POST https://app.snap-render.com/mcp \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \  -H "X-API-Key: sk_live_your_key_here" \  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}'

# Initialize a sessioncurl -X POST https://app.snap-render.com/mcp \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \  -H "X-API-Key: sk_live_your_key_here" \  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}'

The server returns an Mcp-Session-Id header: include it in later requests to reuse the session.

Smithery

Install via Smithery for automatic setup with any MCP client.

Local MCP Server (npm)

If you prefer running locally via stdio transport:

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "snaprender": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "snaprender-mcp"],      "env": {        "SNAPRENDER_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_key_here"      }    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "snaprender": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "snaprender-mcp"],      "env": {        "SNAPRENDER_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_key_here"      }    }  }}

See mcp-server/ for full documentation.
