## Description
Screenshot any URL and see it, or mint a social card — hosted, SSRF-safe, cached. No Chrome to run.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "shotpipe-screenshots-og-images": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","shotpipe-screenshots-og-images"]
  }
}
```

## Documentation & README

# shotpipe-mcp

**Hosted, SSRF-safe, cached screenshots and Open Graph images for AI agents — no headless Chrome to run.**

An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that lets an agent screenshot any URL and *see the result*, or mint a social-card image, by calling [Shotpipe](https://shotpipe.io). It's the thing a local browser tool can't be:

- **No Chrome in your agent's sandbox.** Rendering happens on Shotpipe's infrastructure. Nothing to install, no memory to babysit, no OOM at 2am.
- **Safe on untrusted URLs.** Agents point at URLs their users typed. Shotpipe resolves DNS itself, pins the IP, re-checks every redirect, and refuses private / loopback / cloud-metadata hosts — so a hostile link **can't turn your renderer into an SSRF hole.**
- **Cached.** The first capture renders; every identical one after is served from the edge in milliseconds and costs nothing.

Ad and cookie-consent banners are stripped by default.

## Install

```jsonc
// Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json), Claude Code (.mcp.json),
// Cursor, Cline, or any MCP client:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shotpipe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "shotpipe-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SHOTPIPE_KEY": "k_your_key",
        "SHOTPIPE_SECRET": "your_signing_secret"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Tools

### `screenshot`
Screenshot a URL and return the **image** (so the model can see it) plus a permanent, shareable signed URL.

`url` (required) · `format` png\|jpeg\|pdf · `width` · `height` · `dpr` · `full_page` · `selector` · `dark` · `omit_background` · `block_ads` · `block_banners` · `wait_for` · `delay` · `quality` · `fresh`

### `og_image`
Build a signed social-card URL from a hosted template. Returns the **URL only** by default and renders nothing — the image renders lazily on the first crawler hit, so agent/build time stays fast. Drop it into `<meta property="og:image">`. Pass `render: true` to also get a preview image.

`title` (required) · `template` · `author` · `tag` · `accent` · `logo` · `width` · `height` · `dpr` · `render`

## How it works

The signing secret never leaves the process — every request is HMAC-signed locally, exactly like Shotpipe's other clients. The server just builds a signed URL and (for `screenshot`) fetches the bytes.
