About
Capture website screenshots via the ScreenshotRender API from any MCP client.
README
Capture website screenshots from inside Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, or any Model Context Protocol client. This server wraps the ScreenshotRender API so your AI assistant can render any public web page on request.
Ask your assistant: "Take a full-page screenshot of stripe.com" and the image appears right in the chat.
