Common questions

Is ShotAPI MCP Server 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 (1.0.1) reached the registry 5 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?

中文文档

Quick Start (Remote Mode — No Install)

# Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport streamable-http shotapi https://aiphotoshop.mynatapp.cc/mcp

Or with npx

npx -y @anthropic-ai/claude-code@latest --mcp https://aiphotoshop.mynatapp.cc/mcp

For Claude Desktop / Cursor, add to your config:

"mcpServers": { "shotapi": { "type": "streamable-http", "url": "https://aiphotoshop.mynatapp.cc/mcp" } } }

Real Use Cases

1. Claude verifies its own code

Human: Build a landing page with a hero section, testimonials, and pricing grid.

Claude: [writes HTML/CSS code]

Claude: Let me check this with the render tool...

[Claude calls ShotAPI render tool with the HTML it wrote]

Claude: The pricing grid overlaps on mobile. Fixing responsive breakpoints...

2. Deployment verification

Human: I just deployed. Check if it looks right.

Claude: [calls ShotAPI screenshot on https://yourapp.com]

Claude: Footer text is cut off — CSS overflow issue. Background image 404.

3. UI regression in CI/CD

# Capture before/after screenshots and compare

curl -s "https://aiphotoshop.mynatapp.cc/v1/screenshot?url=https://staging.myapp.com" -o before.png curl -s "https://aiphotoshop.mynatapp.cc/v1/screenshot?url=https://staging.myapp.com" -o after.png

3 MCP Tools

Tool	Description	Example
`screenshot_one_liner`	One URL, one screenshot	`screenshot_one_liner(url="https://github.com")`
`screenshot`	Full control: viewport, full-page, CSS selector, format	`screenshot(url="https://github.com", selector="#hero")`
`render`	Render HTML/CSS to image — Agent writes code, sees result instantly	`render(html=" Hello ")`

The render tool closes the feedback loop: write code → render → see → revise → render again.

Why ShotAPI?

Zero install remote mode — streamable-http, no Python/Playwright needed.

Render capability — Not just screenshots of existing pages. Render Agent-generated HTML.
Built-in ad blocking — Cleaner screenshots, less noise.
Listed in MCP Registry — Official Anthropic MCP server directory.
