Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Site-Shot every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Site-Shot — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Site-Shot?

Site-Shot 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 site-shot-mcp was installed 74 times last week.

How do I connect Site-Shot?

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 site-shot-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Site-Shot?

The npm package site-shot-mcp was installed 74 times in the last week. Week over week that is +10%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Site-Shot open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 3 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.
