Install Snipaya in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y snipaya-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says

From the Snipaya repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

snipaya-mcp

Connect any MCP client that speaks stdio to Snipaya, the image and screenshot annotator for macOS. Your assistant can read the canvas, add arrows, text, shapes and callouts, redact sensitive data, crop, and export, while you watch the result in Snipaya.

Snipaya has an MCP server built in, served over Streamable HTTP on 127.0.0.1. snipaya-mcp is a thin bridge for clients that only start local stdio servers: it forwards every MCP message between the client and Snipaya, unchanged.

Tools and prompts are listed even before Snipaya is open. Until Snipaya answers, the bridge lists them from a built-in catalog, and a tool call returns a message that says what to do.

Listed on the MCP Registry as io.github.krzysztofsurdy/snipaya-mcp, on Glama and in TensorBlock awesome-mcp-servers.

Requirements

  • Snipaya for macOS. It comes with a 14-day free trial.
  • Node.js 20 or newer (for the npx setup).

Turn on the MCP server in Snipaya

The server is off by default.

  1. Open Snipaya, then Settings > AI Assistants.
  2. Turn on Allow AI assistants. The status changes to Running.

That is all the bridge needs. It reads the access token and port from the settings Snipaya saves on this Mac, so you do not have to copy them.

Setup

npx

npx -y snipaya-mcp

If Snipaya is not running but Allow AI assistants is on, the bridge opens Snipaya in the background and waits up to 10 seconds for its server.

To override what Snipaya saved, set these variables or flags. Flags win over variables, and variables win over the saved settings.

Prefer the environment variable over --token: command-line flags are visible to other processes on the Mac.

JSON config

For clients configured with an mcpServers JSON file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snipaya": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "snipaya-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "npm_config_registry": "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
      }
    }
  }
}

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
