MagicScreenshots for agents

Give your AI agent a library of real App Store screenshots and preview videos from thousands of top apps, updated daily, then let it generate and localize your own App Store screenshots.

• Library: the top 100 free and top-grossing apps in every Apple category, with screenshots, preview videos and listing history.
• Search by category, today's chart, look (dark, headline, device frame, lifestyle, ...) or app name.
• Generate: restyle your screenshots like any app in the library, or translate them into 40+ languages at App Store resolution.

Setup guides for every agent: https://www.magicscreenshots.com/agents

MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP): https://www.magicscreenshots.com/api/mcp

Install

Searching needs no key. Generation, video downloads and listing history need an API key: ask your agent to call create_api_key, or create one in Settings > API on magicscreenshots.com, then set MAGICSCREENSHOTS_API_KEY.

Any agent with skills (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, ...)

npx skills add Humanleap/magicscreenshots-mcp

This installs the skill only. Add the MCP server too (below) so the agent can call the tools.

Claude Code

Plugin (skill + MCP server):

/plugin marketplace add Humanleap/magicscreenshots-mcp
/plugin install magicscreenshots@magicscreenshots

Or just the MCP server:

claude mcp add --transport http magicscreenshots https://www.magicscreenshots.com/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $MAGICSCREENSHOTS_API_KEY"

The plugin sends Authorization: Bearer ${MAGICSCREENSHOTS_API_KEY}. Set the variable before starting Claude Code. With no key set, search still works, but get_app_videos, get_app_history and generation return an auth error. For fully keyless use, delete the headers block from the plugin's .mcp.json.

Cursor

Install the plugin from the Cursor Marketplace, or add this to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "magicscreenshots": {
      "url": "https://www.magicscreenshots.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:MAGICSCREENSHOTS_API_KEY}" }
    }
  }
}

Without MAGICSCREENSHOTS_API_KEY set, leave out headers (same reason as Claude Code above).

Codex

codex mcp add magicscreenshots --url https://www.magicscreenshots.com/api/mcp

For generation, set the key in config.toml:

[mcp_servers.magicscreenshots]
url = "https://www.magicscreenshots.com/api/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "MAGICSCREENSHOTS_API_KEY"

Gemini CLI

Extension (skill + MCP server, search tools):

gemini extensions install https://github.com/Humanleap/magicscreenshots-mcp

With a key:

gemini mcp add --transport http --header "Authorization: Bearer $MAGICSCREENSHOTS_API_KEY" \
  magicscreenshots https://www.magicscreenshots.com/api/mcp

Any other MCP client

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "magicscreenshots": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://www.magicscreenshots.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ms_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Some clients call the URL field serverUrl (Windsurf) or httpUrl (Gemini). Leave out headers to use search only.

Command line

Legal

Screenshots and preview videos in the library belong to their developers. MagicScreenshots shows them for reference and research. Don't reuse them as your own App Store assets.

Maintaining

The web copy at public/.well-known/agent-skills/magicscreenshots/SKILL.md in the MagicScreenshots app repo is the source. Copy it here unchanged:

cp public/.well-known/agent-skills/magicscreenshots/SKILL.md kit/skills/magicscreenshots/SKILL.md

The app repo's scripts/agent-cli.test.mjs fails if the two copies differ or if the digest in agent-skills/index.json is stale.
