Available tools 2

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

quota
get_quota
How many screenshots are left: the free daily allowance without a key, or the organisation's monthly allowance with one.
take
take_screenshot
Render a public web page in Chromium and return a screenshot. Use fullPage for the whole scrollable page; very tall pages come back as a link instead of an inline image.

Snap Screenshots — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Snap Screenshots do?
It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_quota, take_screenshot. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Snap Screenshots working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 537 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Snap Screenshots?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Snap Screenshots need an API key?
No. Snap Screenshots completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Snap Screenshots?
It answers our handshake in 537 ms on average, which is faster than 23% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
