Point your agent at a URL and get back a hosted image, with no local headless
browser to run. Grabbit handles cookie and consent banners, JavaScript-heavy and
full-page captures, and many sites that block a local browser.

## Why a hosted screenshot tool
Most agents can already drive a headless browser. It works on simple pages and
quietly fails on the ones that matter: cookie and consent walls, bot detection,
login and paywall gates, and heavy client-rendered pages. Grabbit runs the
capture on hosted infrastructure, so the shot comes back clean and the agent
needs no browser of its own.
> Honest bound: no service captures literally every site. A few hard targets
> behind aggressive IP blocking still resist. Private and internal addresses
> (including localhost) are blocked by SSRF protection.
## Quick start
### Claude Code
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http grabbit https://mcp.grabbit.live
```
Then run `/mcp` and authenticate in the browser (OAuth, no key to paste).
Guide: https://grabbit.live/agents/claude-code
### Cursor
`~/.cursor/mcp.json` (commit a project-scoped `.cursor/mcp.json` to share with your team):
```json
{ "mcpServers": { "grabbit": { "url": "https://mcp.grabbit.live" } } }
```
Guide: https://grabbit.live/agents/cursor
### OpenAI Codex
`~/.codex/config.toml`:
```toml
[mcp_servers.grabbit]
url = "https://mcp.grabbit.live"
bearer_token_env_var = "GRABBIT_API_KEY"
```
Guide: https://grabbit.live/agents/codex
### OpenClaw
Add the hosted MCP server, or wrap the one-line CLI in a skill.
Guide: https://grabbit.live/agents/openclaw
## Cursor Marketplace
Install Grabbit directly from the [Cursor Marketplace](https://cursor.com/marketplace) (when listed), or add manually:
`~/.cursor/mcp.json` (or project-scoped `.cursor/mcp.json`):
```json
{ "mcpServers": { "grabbit": { "url": "https://mcp.grabbit.live" } } }
```
This repo includes Cursor plugin packaging (`.cursor-plugin/plugin.json`, `mcp.json`, skill) for marketplace submission.
## Agent Skills
This repo ships a portable skill folder (`skills/grabbit-screenshots/`) that teaches agents when and how to use the Grabbit hosted screenshot MCP.
### Install via skills.sh
```bash
npx skills add BrainGridAI/grabbit-mcp --skill grabbit-screenshots
```
After public installs, the skill can appear on [skills.sh](https://skills.sh) via install telemetry (no separate submit form).
### Publish to ClawHub
From the repo root:
```bash
clawhub skill publish ./skills/grabbit-screenshots --slug grabbit-screenshots --name "Grabbit Screenshots" --version 1.0.0
```
### Install via OpenClaw / Hermes
The skill is published on ClawHub at https://clawhub.ai/braingrid/skills/grabbit-screenshots
```bash
openclaw skills install @braingrid/grabbit-screenshots
# or
clawhub install grabbit-screenshots
```
Hermes can install the same ClawHub skill (ClawHub is a Hermes skill source) and connect MCP at `https://mcp.grabbit.live`.
## CLI
```bash
npx grabbit.live login # browser sign-in, keys saved locally
npx grabbit.live nyt.com # screenshot a URL, hosted image back
npx grabbit.live mcp # print MCP config for your agent
```
## Pricing
Flat **$0.002** per live capture. Prepaid credits that never reset or expire.
Test keys return free placeholders so you can wire it up before paying. Full
