Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.
Hosted, SSRF-safe, cached screenshots and Open Graph images for AI agents — no headless Chrome to run.
AnMCPserver that lets an agent screenshot any URL andsee the result, or mint a social-card image, by callingShotpipe. It's the thing a local browser tool can't be:
- No Chrome in your agent's sandbox.Rendering happens on Shotpipe's infrastructure. Nothing to install, no memory to babysit, no OOM at 2am.
- Safe on untrusted URLs.Agents point at URLs their users typed. Shotpipe resolves DNS itself, pins the IP, re-checks every redirect, and refuses private / loopback / cloud-metadata hosts — so a hostile linkcan't turn your renderer into an SSRF hole.
- Cached.The first capture renders; every identical one after is served from the edge in milliseconds and costs nothing.

Screenshot a URL and return theimage(so the model can see it) plus a permanent, shareable signed URL.

Build a signed social-card URL from a hosted template. Returns theURL onlyby default and renders nothing — the image renders lazily on the first crawler hit, so agent/build time stays fast. Drop it into<meta property="og:image">. Passrender: trueto also get a preview image.

The signing secret never leaves the process — every request is HMAC-signed locally, exactly like Shotpipe's other clients. The server just builds a signed URL and (forscreenshot) fetches the bytes.
