Integrations

Workflow builders can take screenshots in two ways: through our MCP server, when the platform has an MCP client, or with one plain HTTP request to the API.

Through MCP

Use this when an AI step of your workflow should decide when to take a screenshot.

n8n

Add an MCP Client Tool node to your AI Agent. Write your key in place of $LOCALSCREENSHOT_API_KEY.

1. Add an "MCP Client Tool" node to your AI Agent
2. Endpoint: https://api.localscreenshot.com/mcp
3. Authentication: Bearer
   $LOCALSCREENSHOT_API_KEY
4. Tools to Include: All

Zapier

Add an MCP Client connection, then use its Run Tool action. Write your key in place of $LOCALSCREENSHOT_API_KEY.

1. On the Apps page, click "+ Add connection" and search for MCP Client
2. Server URL: https://api.localscreenshot.com/mcp
3. Transport: Streamable HTTP
4. Bearer Token
   $LOCALSCREENSHOT_API_KEY
5. In your Zap, use the "Run Tool" action

Make

Add an MCP Client module to your scenario and create a connection. Write your key in place of $LOCALSCREENSHOT_API_KEY.

1. Add an MCP Client module ("Call a tool") and click "Create a connection"
2. In the MCP Server field, click "+ New MCP Server"
3. URL: https://api.localscreenshot.com/mcp
4. API Key / Access token
   $LOCALSCREENSHOT_API_KEY
5. Save

With one HTTP request

Every automation platform has a step that sends an HTTP request. That is all the API needs, and it works even where there is no MCP client.

Set the step up like this:

With response=json the answer is a JSON object. The link to the picture is in image.url: pass it to your next step. That link is short-lived, 15 minutes, so download the file in the same run if you need to keep it. Without response=json, the answer is the image itself.

Add options to the address, for example &full_page=true&format=webp. They are all listed on Take a screenshot.

For a page that is slow to load, or when your platform has a short timeout, ask in the background with async=true and read the result later: see Run in the background.
