Screenshot MCP Server for JetBrains Junie (CLI and IDE)

Set it up (recommended: sign in with OAuth)

Junie connects to remote MCP servers and signs in with OAuth. Junie CLI and Junie in JetBrains IDEs read the same config files.

1Add the snippet to ~/.junie/mcp/mcp.json (all projects) or .junie/mcp/mcp.json at the root of a project.
2Junie lists snaprender as "Authorization required". Run /mcp, open the snaprender menu, choose Authorize and sign in to SnapRender in the browser. A free account works.
3When the status shows Active, ask Junie for a screenshot.

~/.junie/mcp/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snaprender": { "url": "https://app.snap-render.com/mcp" }
  }
}

Check it worked: Run /mcp: snaprender shows as Active with its tools.

With an API key instead

With a header set, Junie skips the sign-in. Get a key from your SnapRender dashboard.

~/.junie/mcp/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snaprender": {
      "url": "https://app.snap-render.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Or run the server locally

Runs the open-source server from npm locally. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key from your SnapRender dashboard. The package is snaprender-mcp on npm.

~/.junie/mcp/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snaprender": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "snaprender-mcp"],
      "env": { "SNAPRENDER_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

A timeout in Junie's MCP config is in milliseconds, from 1000 to 3600000; the default wait is 60 seconds. "timeout": 60 is rejected.
JetBrains AI Assistant chat has separate MCP settings (Settings, Tools, AI Assistant, Model Context Protocol). Its docs cover URL and command entries but not OAuth sign-in or headers for remote servers, so this page uses Junie.

Prompts to try

"Screenshot https://example.com on desktop and iPhone and fix the CSS that breaks on mobile."
"Read https://example.com/api/docs as markdown and generate a typed client for it."
"Take a full-page screenshot of our preview deployment and check it against the layout described in DESIGN.md."

SnapRender renders public pages from its own servers, with ads and cookie banners removed. Pages behind a login and localhost are out of reach; use a preview deployment or a tunnel for local work.

Questions

Does it work in IntelliJ IDEA and other JetBrains IDEs?+

Yes, through Junie. Junie in the IDE uses the same MCP config as Junie CLI, so a server in ~/.junie/mcp/mcp.json is available in both.

What about JetBrains AI Assistant?+

AI Assistant chat has its own MCP settings. JetBrains documents URL and command entries there, without OAuth sign-in or headers for remote servers, so we recommend Junie for the hosted server.
