@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.

Claude Code

claude mcp add snapdiff -e SNAPDIFF_API_KEY=sk_live_... -- npx -y @corralimited/snapdiff-mcp

Or edit ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snapdiff": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@corralimited/snapdiff-mcp"],
      "env": { "SNAPDIFF_API_KEY": "sk_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json (or project-level .cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snapdiff": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@corralimited/snapdiff-mcp"],
      "env": { "SNAPDIFF_API_KEY": "sk_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Continue

~/.continue/config.yaml:

mcpServers:

    command: npx
    args: ["-y", "@corralimited/snapdiff-mcp"]
    env:
      SNAPDIFF_API_KEY: sk_live_...

Anything else with a generic stdio MCP slot

command: npx
args:    -y @corralimited/snapdiff-mcp
env:     SNAPDIFF_API_KEY=sk_live_...

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.
