Quick Connect (Remote)

The easiest way to use the Orshot MCP Server is to connect to our hosted remote server.

Server URL: https://mcp.orshot.com/sse

Since the remote server is shared, you must provide your Orshot API Key in your prompt (e.g., "Generate a website screenshot of apple.com. Here is my API key: os-...") or configure your MCP client to send it.

Cursor (Agent Mode)

1. Settings > General > MCP Servers
2. Add new MCP server
3. Select SSE and enter https://mcp.orshot.com/sse

VS Code (MCP Extension)

Add to .vscode/mcp.json or your global configuration:

{
  "servers": {
    "orshot": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://mcp.orshot.com/sse"
    }
  }
}
