This one needs environment variables set before it will start: SHOTPIPE_KEY (Shotpipe API key id (starts with k_). Free at https://shotpipe.io/signup.), SHOTPIPE_SECRET (Shotpipe HMAC signing secret. Requests are signed locally; the secret never leaves the process.), SHOTPIPE_BASE_URL (Override the API base URL for a self-hosted Shotpipe instance. Defaults to https://shotpipe.io.).

Shotpipe — Screenshots & OG Images — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Shotpipe — Screenshots & OG Images?

Shotpipe — Screenshots & OG Images runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package shotpipe-mcp was installed 29 times last week.

How do I connect Shotpipe — Screenshots & OG Images?

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 runs locally, so the command pulls shotpipe-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Shotpipe — Screenshots & OG Images?

The npm package shotpipe-mcp was installed 29 times in the last week. Week over week that is -82%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Shotpipe — Screenshots & OG Images open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
