Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Or run it on your computer

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "screenshot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

        "URLBOX_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "URLBOX_DOWNLOAD_DIR": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http screenshot https://api.urlbox.com/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Or run it on your computer

claude mcp add screenshot --env URLBOX_API_KEY=your-value --env URLBOX_DOWNLOAD_DIR=your-value -- npx -y @urlbox/screenshot-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "screenshot": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.urlbox.com/mcp",

Urlbox organisation API key (all tools) or project secret key (rendering tools).
URLBOX_DOWNLOAD_DIR env
Folder where save_render saves files. Defaults to ~/Downloads.

Common questions

Is Urlbox 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?

You need to fill in: URLBOX_API_KEY, Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2.0.0) reached the registry 25 days 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?

Urlbox Screenshot MCP Server

Give your AI assistant a real browser for website screenshots. The Urlbox MCP server takes screenshots, makes PDFs and videos, extracts HTML, markdown and article text, compares pages, and manages your Urlbox projects, webhooks and usage.

Use the hosted server (recommended)

Connect your client to https://api.urlbox.com/mcp. Nothing to install.

Claude (claude.ai and desktop): Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, enter https://api.urlbox.com/mcp, then sign in to Urlbox.
ChatGPT: add a connector with the URL https://api.urlbox.com/mcp, then sign in to Urlbox.
Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http urlbox https://api.urlbox.com/mcp, then run /mcp to sign in.
Codex: codex mcp add urlbox --url https://api.urlbox.com/mcp, then codex mcp login urlbox to sign in.
Cursor: add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

"mcpServers": { "urlbox": { "url": "https://api.urlbox.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_URLBOX_API_KEY" } } } }

Clients that can't sign in can send an API key as Authorization: Bearer . An organisation API key (ubx_org_...) unlocks every tool. A project secret key works for the rendering tools only. Find your keys in the Urlbox dashboard.

Local bridge (this package)

Some clients can only start local servers. This package is a small local bridge: it runs on your machine over stdio and forwards everything to the hosted server, so you get exactly the same tools, always up to date.

"mcpServers": { "urlbox": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@urlbox/screenshot-mcp"], "env": { "URLBOX_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here" } } } }

Requires Node.js 20 or later.

Variable	Description
`URLBOX_API_KEY`	Your organisation API key or project secret key.
`SECRET_KEY`	Also accepted, for configs written for 1.x. `URLBOX_API_KEY` wins if both are set.
`URLBOX_DOWNLOAD_DIR`	Where `save_render` saves files. Defaults to `~/Downloads`.

The bridge adds one local tool, save_render, which downloads a render URL returned by any Urlbox tool and saves it to your computer. Just ask, for example "screenshot example.com and save it to my computer". Existing files are never overwritten.

Upgrading from 1.x

Your existing config keeps working: SECRET_KEY is still read and the package name and command are unchanged.

Tools now come from the hosted server, so there are many more of them, and they keep improving without an update.
render is still there. Its store_renders option and the download tool are replaced by save_render.
Files are saved to ~/Downloads instead of ~/Downloads/urlbox-renders. Set URLBOX_DOWNLOAD_DIR to keep the old location.
With a project secret key you get the rendering tools. Use an organisation API key to also manage projects, webhooks and usage.
Node.js 20 or later is required.

Example prompts

Take a screenshot of https://example.com without ads or cookie banners.
Save https://urlbox.com as a tagged PDF with an outline and download it to my computer.
Turn this article into markdown: https://example.com/blog/post
How does https://example.com look on a phone?

Development

npm install

npm test

The tests run the bridge against a local fake server, so they need no Urlbox account.
