@corralimited/snapdiff-mcp
Standalone MCP server for SnapDiff. Exposes four tools to local agents:
- Compare two web pages visually — diff percentage plus a highlighted diff image
- Capture a screenshot of any URL
- Check whether a page changed vs. a previous capture
- Render HTML/CSS to an image (OG cards, social images, email headers)
Hits the public SnapDiff REST API. Bring your own API key.
Quickstart
Get an API key at https://snapdiff.ai/dashboard, then drop the snippet for your agent below.

Tools
Schemas live in src/tools/ and are exported from @corralimited/snapdiff-mcp/tools.
The hosted SnapDiff backend imports the same schemas so its in-process /mcp endpoint and this
standalone stdio server expose an identical surface — agents see the same tool names, descriptions,
and parameters whether they connect to https://api.snapdiff.ai/mcp or run this server locally.
Remote HTTP access
This package speaks stdio only — your editor spawns it as a subprocess, and the Playwright-backed localhost tools run on your machine, where your dev server actually is. It does not open a port.
If you need an HTTP endpoint, use the hosted one at https://mcp.snapdiff.ai/mcp,
which authenticates every request with your API key and exposes the same tool surface.
Configuration
There are no CLI flags beyond --help.
