What the publisher says
From the Shotpipe — Screenshots & OG Images repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
shotpipe-mcp
Hosted, SSRF-safe, cached screenshots and Open Graph images for AI agents — no headless Chrome to run.
An MCP server that lets an agent screenshot any URL and see the result, or mint a social-card image, by calling Shotpipe. 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.

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

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 . Pass render: true to also get a preview image.

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.
