How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability63
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 387 tokens (~193/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management73
- Stability observed for 22 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
list_devices List device presets ~28
List the device presets accepted by the viewport_device argument of take_screenshot. Needs no access key.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
take_screenshot Take a screenshot ~309
Render a public web page and return it as an image (or a PDF, or a video of the page scrolling). Uses one screenshot of the account quota; cache hits and failed renders are free. Prefer jpeg or webp to keep the image small. A result over 6 MB comes back as a download link (valid for about a day) instead of inline data.

| block_cookie_banners | boolean | – | Hide cookie consent banners. |
| cache | boolean | – | Reuse a stored copy when the same request was made before. |
| dark_mode | boolean | – | Ask the page for its dark theme. |
| delay | number | – | Extra seconds to wait after the page has loaded. |
| format | string | – | File format of the result. mp4, webm and gif record a video of the page scrolling from top to bottom. |
| full_page | boolean | – | Capture the whole page, not just the first screen. |

How do I install the CurlShot MCP server?
CurlShot is a hosted endpoint at https://curlshot.com/api/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.
