Official MCP server for the Snapshot Site API
These tools are annotated for MCP clients as:
They also include richer titles, category metadata, and example intents to improve tool selection in Claude Desktop and Cursor.
Local, with an API key— run the package yourself over stdio and provideSNAPSHOT_SITE_API_KEY. The server calls the Snapshot Site API directly.
Either way, calls count against the same plan quota as direct API calls. Nothing is metered differently because it came through MCP.
For local stdio mode you need a Snapshot Site API key.

Sign up for aSnapshot Site Consoleaccount.
Pass the key to the server as theSNAPSHOT_SITE_API_KEYenvironment variable.
LeaveSNAPSHOT_SITE_BASE_URLat its default (https://api.prod.ss.snapshot-site.com) unless you're pointed at a self-hosted or staging instance.
Requires Node.js 20.9 or later. Built against@modelcontextprotocol/sdkv1.28 and tested with Claude Desktop and Cursor over stdio, and with any client that speaks the streamable HTTP transport against the hosted endpoint.

What a client does when connecting to the hosted server:
1. Discovery Claude -> GET https://mcp.snapshot-site.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource MCP -> responds: authorization_servers = https://mcp.snapshot-site.com
2. Authorization Claude -> must know client_id -> opens: https://mcp.snapshot-site.com/oauth/v2/authorize ?client_id=... &redirect_uri=https://claude.ai/api/mcp/auth_callback &response_type=code &code_challenge=...
3. Token Claude -> receives an access token -> calls the MCP server: POST https://mcp.snapshot-site.com/ Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
The server then validates the token against the issuer and resolves the account it belongs to before running the tool.
curl -s https://mcp.snapshot-site.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource | jq curl -s https://mcp.snapshot-site.com/.well-known/openid-configuration | jq curl -i https://mcp.snapshot-site.com/ curl -i -X POST https://mcp.snapshot-site.com/mcp -H 'content-type: application/json' --data '{}'
- Theclient_idis only needed for the authorization step.
- If your client cannot discover thatclient_idbeforehand, enter it manually in the connector UI.
- It cannot be injected later once the OAuth flow has started.
- The server can publish an experimental implicit mode by exposing apreferred_client_idin/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource.
- Clients that read this metadata may then skip the manual entry. Clients that ignore the field still require a manualclient_id.

This package also supports a hosted MCP endpoint for clients usingmcp-remote.
export PORT=3000 export HOST=0.0.0.0 export MCP_PATH=/mcp export HEALTH_PATH=/healthz export MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS=mcp.snapshot-site.com export SNAPSHOT_SITE_BASE_URL=https://api.prod.ss.snapshot-site.com
Remote client configuration with direct API key header:
{ "mcpServers": { "Snapshot Site MCP": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.snapshot-site.com/mcp", "--header", "x-snapshotsiteapi-key: ss_live_xxx" ] } } }
The hosted server is stateless. Each request authenticates withx-snapshotsiteapi-key, which makes the service safe to run on multiple replicas without session affinity.
The remote HTTP server also supports OAuth bearer tokens validated against an OIDC issuer such as Zitadel.
export OIDC_ISSUER_URL=https://auth.snapshot-site.com export OIDC_AUDIENCE=snapshot-site-mcp export OIDC_REQUIRED_SCOPE=claudeai export OIDC_DISCOVERY_CLIENT_ID=366546620977775166 export RESOURCE_SERVER_URL=https://mcp.snapshot-site.com export ALLOW_API_KEY_AUTH=false export SNAPSHOT_SITE_API_KEY=ss_server_side_xxx
In bearer-token mode, the MCP server validates the incoming access token against the issuer JWKS and then uses the server-side Snapshot Site API key to call the backend API.
GET /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource GET /.well-known/openid-configuration GET/POST /oauth/v2/ GET /ui/ GET/POST /oauth/register
so MCP clients can discover the authorization server metadata automatically.
WhenOIDC_DISCOVERY_CLIENT_IDis set, the protected resource metadata also includes:
{ "resource_name": "Snapshot Site MCP", "preferred_client_id": "366546620977775166", "oauth_client_metadata": { "client_id": "366546620977775166", "token_endpoint_auth_method": "none" } }
This is an experimental compatibility hint for clients that can infer the OAuth public client automatically. Manualclient_identry remains the reliable fallback.
The MCP server also exposes a lightweightregistration_endpointcompatibility shim at:
POST https://mcp.snapshot-site.com/oauth/register
This shim currently returns the preconfigured public PKCE client instead of provisioning a brand-new Zitadel client per installation. It validates and reflects theredirect_urisrequested by the client, as long as they are valid HTTPS URLs. It is meant to improve compatibility with clients that expect DCR-style discovery, while keeping the existing manual flow as fallback.
