Security Report
SnapRender's MCP server is well-structured with proper authentication (API key requirement), secure credential handling, and appropriate input validation. The server makes authorized HTTP requests to a legitimate remote API with proper error sanitization. Permissions are appropriate for a screenshot/content extraction service (network access for rendering, no file system write access). Minor quality concerns exist around broad error catching and logging practices, but do not present security risks. Package verification found 1 issue.

SnapRender Integrations
Official integrations for SnapRender Screenshot API — capture screenshots of any website as PNG, JPEG, WebP, or PDF.
Remote MCP Server
SnapRender runs a hosted MCP server — connect from any MCP client with zero install:
https://app.snap-render.com/mcp
- Transport: Streamable HTTP (MCP spec 2025-03-26)
- Auth:
X-API-Keyheader orAuthorization: Bearerheader - Tools:
take_screenshot,check_screenshot_cache,get_usage - Prompts:
screenshot_website,compare_devices
Claude Desktop (remote — recommended)
{
"mcpServers": {
"snaprender": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://app.snap-render.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer sk_live_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Any MCP client (curl)
# Initialize a session
curl -X POST https://app.snap-render.com/mcp \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
-H "X-API-Key: sk_live_your_key_here" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}'
The server returns an Mcp-Session-Id header — include it in subsequent requests to reuse the session.
Smithery
Install via Smithery for automatic setup with any MCP client.
Local MCP Server (npm)
If you prefer running locally via stdio transport:
{
"mcpServers": {
"snaprender": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "snaprender-mcp"],
"env": {
"SNAPRENDER_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
See mcp-server/ for full documentation.
