StoreShots MCP
Turn raw app screenshots into polished App Store and Google Play marketing screenshots from Cursor, Claude, or any other MCP client.
This is a small stdio MCP server that talks to the hosted StoreShots API. Rendering happens on the server, so you don't need Chrome, Puppeteer, or a design tool on your machine. Give your agent a few screenshots and some headlines, and it saves store-ready PNGs (or a ZIP) into your project.
- 1–5 screenshots per set, from local files or URLs
- 5 curated styles:
glow,midnight,sunset,mint,trailing, plus custom colours - Device frames:
iphone,iphone-duo,android,ipad - Every required store size in one call:
ios-6.9(1320×2868),ios-6.5(1242×2688),android-phone(1080×1920),ipad-13(2064×2752) - Headlines and captions for each slide
- Downloads a ZIP and/or PNGs straight into your project
Quick start
1. Get a free API key
Sign up with your email at **https://storeshots.qaimos.co.uk/account.html**. The key (ss_...) is only shown once, so copy it somewhere safe.
2. Add the server to your MCP client
Cursor: add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or to .cursor/mcp.json in a project). You can also use the "Install in Cursor" button above.
{
"mcpServers": {
"storeshots": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "storeshots-api-mcp"],
"env": { "STORESHOTS_API_KEY": "ss_your_key_here" }
}
}
}
Claude Desktop: open Settings → Developer → Edit Config, then add the same block to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"storeshots": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "storeshots-api-mcp"],
"env": { "STORESHOTS_API_KEY": "ss_your_key_here" }
}
}
}
Claude Code:
claude mcp add storeshots --env STORESHOTS_API_KEY=ss_your_key_here -- npx -y storeshots-api-mcp
VS Code, Windsurf, and other clients: run npx -y storeshots-api-mcp over stdio with STORESHOTS_API_KEY set in the environment.
Requires Node.js 18.17 or newer.
3. Ask your agent
Make App Store screenshots from ./shots/home.png and ./shots/stats.png in the midnight style with the headlines "Build habits that stick" and "See your progress", and save them to ./store-assets.
