Grabbit MCP server

Screenshots as a service, built for AI agents

Point your agent at a URL and get back a hosted image, with no local headless browser to run. Grabbit handles cookie and consent banners, JavaScript-heavy and full-page captures, and many sites that block a local browser.

Tools

Why a hosted screenshot tool

Most agents can already drive a headless browser. It works on simple pages and quietly fails on the ones that matter: cookie and consent walls, bot detection, login and paywall gates, and heavy client-rendered pages. Grabbit runs the capture on hosted infrastructure, so the shot comes back clean and the agent needs no browser of its own.

Honest bound: no service captures literally every site. A few hard targets

behind aggressive IP blocking still resist. Private and internal addresses

(including localhost) are blocked by SSRF protection.

Quick start

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http grabbit https://mcp.grabbit.live

Then run /mcp and authenticate in the browser (OAuth, no key to paste). Guide: https://grabbit.live/agents/claude-code

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json (commit a project-scoped .cursor/mcp.json to share with your team):

{ "mcpServers": { "grabbit": { "url": "https://mcp.grabbit.live" } } }

Guide: https://grabbit.live/agents/cursor

OpenAI Codex

~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.grabbit]
url = "https://mcp.grabbit.live"
bearer_token_env_var = "GRABBIT_API_KEY"

Guide: https://grabbit.live/agents/codex

OpenClaw

Add the hosted MCP server, or wrap the one-line CLI in a skill. Guide: https://grabbit.live/agents/openclaw

Cursor Marketplace

Install Grabbit directly from the Cursor Marketplace (when listed), or add manually:

~/.cursor/mcp.json (or project-scoped .cursor/mcp.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "grabbit": { "url": "https://mcp.grabbit.live" } } }

This repo includes Cursor plugin packaging (.cursor-plugin/plugin.json, mcp.json, skill) for marketplace submission.

Agent Skills

This repo ships a portable skill folder (skills/grabbit-screenshots/) that teaches agents when and how to use the Grabbit hosted screenshot MCP.

Install via skills.sh

npx skills add BrainGridAI/grabbit-mcp --skill grabbit-screenshots

After public installs, the skill can appear on skills.sh via install telemetry (no separate submit form).
