Shots
Shots is a hosted MCP server and plugin that lets Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, VS Code, Windsurf, Devin, Zed, Gemini CLI, Amp, and other coding agents ship App Store screenshots in minutes from inside the app repo. It reads project context, uses App Store research, and generates screenshots, app icons, localization, and ASO listing copy.
Start free: 3 free screenshots, no card required — shots.run
Quick start
- Install the plugin for your agent (see Install below).
- Sign in when prompted — first use opens a browser window for OAuth.
- Run /shots and ask: "Generate App Store screenshots for my app".
- Review, revise, and download the results in Shots Studio.
Demo
Generate App Store screenshots directly from your coding agent. Review and refine with the Shots Studio integration.
