Iris gives coding agents reliable screenshots

Iris is an open-source Rust CLI and local MCP server that captures live websites through Chrome’s DevTools Protocol. It handles full-page scrolling, lazy-loaded content, responsive presets, Retina output, CSS selectors, and inline images for AI agents.

// ANALYSIS

Iris targets a real weakness in coding-agent workflows: agents need visual context, but browser automation stacks are often too heavy for a single trustworthy screenshot.

  • The shared CLI and MCP engine keeps local developer workflows and agent workflows consistent
  • Inline image responses let agents inspect results immediately without managing temporary files
  • Smart waits and lazy-load scrolling improve capture reliability on modern, JavaScript-heavy sites
  • Selector-based framing is useful for focused UI verification, while device presets support responsive checks
  • Its narrow scope is a strength: Iris deliberately avoids interaction scripting, diffs, and review workflows
