CurlShot

Screenshot API with an MCP server: let AI agents see any web page

Send a page address, get a screenshot back. That's the whole idea of CurlShot. Behind that one request are 69 options in 13 groups: full-page capture, device emulation, dark mode, custom CSS and JavaScript, waiting rules, cookies and headers for pages behind a login, caching, signed links, async jobs with webhooks, and bulk runs of up to 100 URLs. A misspelled option is never silently ignored. AI agents connect through the built-in MCP server. One successful render is one screenshot, whatever its size, and failures don't count. Start with 100 free screenshots a month.

When to use CurlShot

CurlShot is listed for Browser, screenshots workflows. Send a page address, get a screenshot back. That's the whole idea of CurlShot. Behind that one request are 69 options in 13 groups: full-page capture, device emulation, dark mode, custom CSS and JavaScript, waiting rules, cookies and headers for pages behind a login, caching, signed links, async jobs with webhooks, and bulk runs of up to 100 URLs. A misspelled option is never silently ignored. AI agents connect through the built-in MCP server. One successful render is one screenshot, whatever its size, and failures don't count. Start with 100 free screenshots a month. Consider it when an agent needs this capability through a documented service boundary instead of custom infrastructure maintained inside the application.

In 4agent's task model, the product maps to browser automation. That makes it a candidate for workflows that research the web.

Integration checklist

  • Access: confirm the api key authentication flow, credential scope, rotation process, and whether calls can be attributed to a user or service identity.
  • Client support: no SDK is recorded, so verify the HTTP API or another supported integration path.
  • Automation: OpenAPI is listed as available, MCP is listed as available, and CLI support is not currently recorded. Confirm each requirement in the provider's current documentation.
  • Operations: test rate limits, timeouts, retry safety, error payloads, logs, data retention, and the current free-tier and paid pricing model with production-like volume.
