Common questions

Is Shots safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Shots

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](https://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

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

Install

Codex

Add the marketplace:

codex plugin marketplace add hitSlop/shots

Install the plugin from inside Codex:

codex

Then run /plugins, select Shots, and install

/plugins

Or install directly from the command line:

codex plugin add shots@shots

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

claude plugin install hitSlop/shots

Cursor

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

https://shots.run/api/mcp

Gemini CLI

Add the hosted MCP server:

gemini mcp add --transport http shots https://shots.run/api/mcp

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:

https://shots.run/api/mcp

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

Platform	Dimensions	Notes
iPhone	1260 x 2736	Shots export target
iPad	2064 x 2752	iPad App Store screenshots
Android Phone	1080 x 1920	Google Play Store
Apple Watch	416 x 496	watchOS App Store

Pricing

Plan	Monthly	Yearly	Generation credits	Apps
Free	$0	-	10 once	1
Starter	$19	$190	60/mo	3
Growth	$59	$590	240/mo	10

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:

codex mcp remove shots

codex plugin add shots@shots codex mcp login shots codex mcp get shots

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
