Screenshot MCP Server for Mistral Vibe (formerly Le Chat) and the Vibe CLI

Set it up (recommended: sign in with OAuth)

Mistral Vibe, formerly Le Chat, adds remote MCP servers as custom connectors and detects that SnapRender uses OAuth by itself. The Vibe coding CLI adds servers with vibe mcp add and signs in through the browser.

1In Vibe: open Connectors, click + Add Connector, switch to the Custom MCP Connector tab, enter the name snaprender (no spaces) and the server URL, and click Connect. In the Vibe CLI: run the command below.
2Sign in to SnapRender and Allow when asked. The CLI opens the browser by itself; /mcp login snaprender repeats the sign-in.
3Ask Vibe to take a screenshot of a page.

Vibe: Custom MCP Connector

Connector name:  snaprender
Server URL:      https://app.snap-render.com/mcp

Vibe CLI (terminal)

vibe mcp add snaprender --url https://app.snap-render.com/mcp

Check it worked: In Vibe, open Connectors, My Connectors and select SnapRender to see its functions. In the CLI, /mcp status shows the server and /mcp snaprender lists its tools.

With an API key instead

The Vibe CLI can send the key as an Authorization: Bearer header instead. It reads the key from the environment variable you name. Get a key from your SnapRender dashboard.

Vibe CLI (terminal)

export SNAPRENDER_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
vibe mcp add snaprender --url https://app.snap-render.com/mcp --api-key-env SNAPRENDER_API_KEY

~/.vibe/config.toml

[[mcp_servers]]
name = "snaprender"
transport = "streamable-http"
url = "https://app.snap-render.com/mcp"

[mcp_servers.auth]
type = "static"
api_key_env = "SNAPRENDER_API_KEY"

Or run the server locally

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

Vibe CLI (terminal)

vibe mcp add snaprender --transport stdio --command npx \
  --arg=-y --arg snaprender-mcp --env SNAPRENDER_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY

~/.vibe/config.toml

[[mcp_servers]]
name = "snaprender"
transport = "stdio"
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "snaprender-mcp"]

[mcp_servers.env]
SNAPRENDER_API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Adding custom connectors in Vibe is an admin feature. On the Free, Pro and Student plans, the account owner is the admin.
Per-function permissions are on the connector's Functions tab in Vibe. Turn on Always allow for take_screenshot to skip the prompt.
In the CLI, write --arg=-y with an equals sign; a bare --arg -y is read as a flag.
The API key and local options apply to the Vibe CLI. In Vibe on the web, use the OAuth connector.
