Overview

What is Snap_sense?

Snap_sense is a lightweight Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables your LLM to capture screenshots of any specified URL and return only the access URL for the captured image. It is built with Python and the MCP SDK, designed for integrating visual capture capabilities into AI applications like Claude Desktop or automation workflows.

How to use Snap_sense?

Install via Smithery (npx -y @smithery/cli install @Abhi5h3k/MCP-URL2SNAP --client claude) or manually: clone the repository, set up a Python virtual environment (Python 3.11+, UV 0.6.9+), install dependencies with uv install, create a .env file with your ABSTRACT_API_KEY, and run uv run server.py. Register the server in Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json using the uv command and restart Claude. Then prompt with requests like "can you show me the screenshot of https://example.com".

Frequently asked questions

1

What dependencies are required to run Snap_sense?

The server requires Python 3.11.0 or higher and UV 0.6.9 or higher. All other dependencies are installed automatically via UV.

2

How is the screenshot captured and stored?

Snap_sense uses the AbstractAPI Screenshot API (accessed via your `ABSTRACT_API_KEY`) to capture the screenshot. The server returns only the access URL for the hosted image; the image itself is stored by AbstractAPI.

3

What transport and authentication does Snap_sense use?

The server communicates via the MCP protocol over standard I/O (stdio). Authentication to the screenshot service is provided through the `ABSTRACT_API_KEY` environment variable.

4

Can Snap_sense be used with any MCP-compatible client?

Yes, the README demonstrates integration with Claude Desktop via the `claude_desktop_config.json` file, and the server is designed to work with any MCP-compatible LLM or client that supports the protocol.
