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 that this server's namespace belongs to shots.run, which also runs its endpoint. That identifies the publisher; it does not make the server's tools safe.

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

Hosted Shots MCP server that lets a coding agent generate App Store screenshots, app icons, localizations and ASO listing copy for mobile apps.

What you can do: Research an app and build a screenshot strategy, then generate App Store panels for iPhone, iPad, Android and Apple Watch sizes, using other listings as inspiration only. Brainstorm and generate app icon concepts and moodboards. Revise generated screenshots with targeted feedback and translate screenshot copy across many App Store locales. Import App Store metadata and existing screenshots, run ASO keyword analysis and update listing metadata. Read and update Shots Studio screenshots, listing copy, research, app metadata, references and generated assets.
When to use it: Useful when building, launching, localizing or marketing an iOS, Android, iPad or Apple Watch app and you want screenshots, icons and listing copy produced from inside your coding agent instead of a separate design tool.
Requirements: A remote MCP endpoint reached over streamable HTTP; no local package. A Shots account signed in through MCP OAuth (first use opens a browser), an active plan or enough free trial generation credits, and an MCP-compatible coding agent or editor. Generation runs on the Shots servers.

Before you install

Generation consumes paid credits: each new screenshot, revision, translation, icon and moodboard has a credit cost, and plans are billed monthly or yearly. The MCP bearer token is intentionally long-lived, so revoke unused connected clients in Shots Studio. Project images may be uploaded to the hosted service, and tools can update Studio listing copy and metadata.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Shots in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/run.shots%2Fshots/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

README

Shots

[Plugin Checks] [HOL Plugin Scanner] [MCP Registry] [Glama MCP server] [Official MCP Registry] [License: MIT]

Shots is a hosted MCP server and plugin that lets Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, VS Code, Windsurf, Devin, Zed, Gemini CLI, Amp, and other coding agents ship App Store screenshots in minutes from inside the app repo. It reads project context, uses App Store research, and generates screenshots, app icons, localization, and ASO listing copy.

Start free: 3 free screenshots, no card required — shots.run

Quick start

Install the plugin for your agent (see Install below).
Sign in when prompted — first use opens a browser window for OAuth.
Run /shots and ask: "Generate App Store screenshots for my app".
Review, revise, and download the results in Shots Studio.

Demo

[Shots plugin generating App Store screenshots]

Generate App Store screenshots directly from your coding agent. Review and refine with the Shots Studio integration.

Install

Codex

Add the marketplace:

Install the plugin from inside Codex:

Or install directly from the command line:

Codex workspace sharing

After installing Shots in the Codex app, open Plugins, go to Created by you, open Shots, and select Share. Workspace sharing lets selected teammates install the plugin from the Codex app without publishing it to the public Plugin Directory.

Claude Code

Cursor

Open Cursor Settings, go to Plugins, and search for "Shots". If plugin install is unavailable, add the hosted MCP server manually:

Gemini CLI

Add the hosted MCP server:

Or copy gemini-extension.json into your project root, then restart Gemini CLI.

Devin, Zed, Amp, and other MCP clients

Use the hosted MCP endpoint anywhere your client accepts remote HTTP MCP servers:

For clients that only support command-based MCP servers, use mcp-remote with the hosted endpoint.

Discovery and registries

Shots is packaged for public plugin and MCP discovery:

Codex plugin marketplace: codex plugin marketplace add hitSlop/shots
Codex plugin install: codex plugin add shots@shots
Official MCP Registry: run.shots/shots
MCP endpoint: https://shots.run/api/mcp
Glama MCP listing: hitSlop/shots
Awesome Codex Plugins PR: hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins#277
Awesome MCP Servers PR: punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers#9592

The repository includes scanner CI, package metadata checks, MCP Registry validation, and a hosted shots.run domain proof route for publishing run.shots/shots.

What MCP enables

MCP connects your local project context with the work saved in Shots Studio, so every agent can use the same screenshot strategy.

Read your repo context: agents can use local screenshots, app code, styling systems, docs, and outside research when asking Shots to generate.
Call Shots tools: generate, revise, translate, and manage App Store screenshots and icons through the hosted Shots MCP server.
Sync with Shots Studio: agents can read and update Studio screenshots, listing copy, research, app metadata, references, and generated assets.

What it does

Shots connects your AI coding agent to the hosted Shots MCP server. Once installed, run /shots to:

Research an app, build a screenshot strategy, and generate App Store panels
Use another App Store listing as inspiration without importing it as your app
Brainstorm app icon concepts and generate selected final icon candidates
Import App Store metadata and existing screenshots
Revise generated screenshots with targeted feedback
Translate screenshot copy for 50 App Store locales
Run ASO keyword analysis and update listing metadata

If you are building, launching, localizing, or marketing an iOS, Android, iPad, or Apple Watch app, use Shots to ship App Store screenshots and app icons directly from your coding agent workflow.

All generation happens on the Shots server. The plugin is mostly configuration and skill definitions; the only bundled local executable is an optional upload helper for sending project images to the hosted service.

Supported Platforms

Pricing

Cost model: Each new screenshot uses 3 generation credits. Revisions use 2 credits. Translations use 1 credit per screenshot per locale. App icons use 3 credits. Icon moodboards use 5 credits. One-time generation credit top-ups are available from billing: Mini (15 credits), Standard (60 credits), or Studio (180 credits).

See shots.run/pricing for full details.

How it works

The plugin provides:

MCP server config (.mcp.json): points to https://shots.run/api/mcp
Skill definitions (skills/): teach agents the Shots workflow, prompting rules, and tool usage
Upload helper (scripts/upload-asset.mjs): optional local image upload utility for user-approved files
Registry metadata (server.json): publishes the hosted MCP server as run.shots/shots
Editor manifests: metadata for Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini CLI

Authentication uses MCP OAuth. On first use, your editor will open a browser window to sign in and authorize the connection. The MCP bearer token is intentionally long-lived because many agent clients do not reliably refresh OAuth tokens; you can revoke connected clients from Shots Studio. Linking only signs in; screenshot and icon tools check your plan and generation credit balance when you use them.

Codex OAuth troubleshooting

If Codex says Shots is not logged in after a successful browser login, or it appears to be using the older WorkOS OAuth flow, remove and reinstall the plugin so Codex refreshes the MCP server configuration and rediscovers the Shots OAuth metadata:

Requirements

A Shots account
An active plan or enough free trial generation credits for screenshot, icon, revision, and translation tools
An MCP-compatible coding agent or editor; Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, VS Code, Windsurf, Devin, Zed, Gemini CLI, Amp, and generic MCP clients are documented setup paths

Tools

This server asks you to sign in, so SourceWeft could not read its tools without an account and has not indexed them. What a connected account sees can depend on that account and its permissions.
