Screenshot Scout

This server exposes one tool,capture_screenshot. It supports full-page and element captures, device and viewport controls, location selection, page interaction and blocking options, image sizing and quality, PDF layout, caching, temporary result URLs and eligible MCP image content.

Every capture uses your Screenshot Scout account and is subject to its plan, quota, and rate limits.

Start with this local stdio configuration:

Point the client at the absolute path todist/stdio.jswithnode, and provide the same environment variables shown above.

To install the Claude Desktop extension:
- Downloadscreenshotscout-mcp-<version>.mcpbfrom that version's GitHub release.
- In Claude Desktop, openSettings → Extensions → Advanced settingsand chooseInstall Extension….
- Select the downloaded file.
- Enter the required access key. Enter the secret key only for an API key that requires signed requests.

Claude Desktop treats both fields as sensitive settings. Thev0.1.0MCPB supports Windows.

https://mcp.screenshotscout.com/mcp/api-key

It is intended only for clients that can attach a static HTTP header:

The endpoint accepts an access key only. Never send a Screenshot Scout secret key to it, and never put either key in the URL or a tool argument. Clients that cannot attach a static Bearer header cannot use this endpoint.

API keys that require request signatures must instead use local stdio or MCPB, or use a dedicated unsigned access key for the hosted endpoint.

Build the production image from a source checkout:

docker build --tag screenshotscout-mcp:local .

Pass credentials from the local environment and keep stdin attached for MCP stdio traffic:

docker run --rm -i --init --cap-drop=ALL --security-opt=no-new-privileges --read-only \ -e SCREENSHOTSCOUT_ACCESS_KEY \ -e SCREENSHOTSCOUT_SECRET_KEY \ screenshotscout-mcp:local

SCREENSHOTSCOUT_SECRET_KEYremains optional. The image runs as an unprivileged user and contains only the compiled stdio server and its production dependencies. It declares no port or container health check: an MCP client owns the stdio process and verifies readiness by completing MCP initialization. The image and its Docker MCP Catalog metadata indocker-mcp-catalog.yamlare local preparation; no public image is implied by these commands.

capture_screenshotsends one capture request for the supplied URL and options. The target webpage is external, and its returned content must be treated as untrusted.

Onlyurlis required. Captures use a 1280×720 viewport by default. When no format is specified, the tool returns JPEG at quality 60.resultModedefaults to"auto".

When both output dimensions are provided, their product cannot exceed 64,000,000 pixels. PDF margins accept non-negative values inpx,in,mm, orcm.imageQualityrequires JPEG or WebP output, and PDF-only options requireformat: "pdf".

- PNG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF may be included as MCP image content whenresultModeisauto, the MIME type is eligible, dimensions are known and at most 8,000 pixels per side, raw data is at most 5 MiB, and the complete serialized result fits the current 128,000-byte server limit.
- A capture that is not eligible to embed remains successful and returns its temporary URL plus an actionable omission reason.
- TIFF is URL-only.
- PDF bytes are never embedded. A PDF result includes safe text and structured metadata, plus a resource link when Screenshot Scout provides a result URL.
- resultMode: "url_only"omits image bytes for every format.

MCP clients control whether returned image content or resource links are displayed or made available to a model.

Structured metadata can includescreenshotUrl,screenshotUrlExpiresAt,cacheStatus,format,mimeType,imageWidth,imageHeight,inlineImageIncluded, andinlineImageOmissionReason.

Treat result URLs as sensitive, temporary links and respect their reported expiry.
