PageShot MCP Server

MCP server for PageShot — take webpage screenshots, render HTML to images, and generate PDFs from any MCP-compatible AI assistant (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf).

No API key required. Free forever.

Quick Start

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pageshot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "pageshot-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Then ask Claude:

"Take a screenshot of https://github.com in dark mode"

"Capture full-page screenshots of these 3 competitor landing pages"

"Render this HTML email template to a PNG so I can preview it"

"Convert this webpage to a PDF in A4 landscape format"

"Screenshot this page at 375px width so I can check the mobile layout"

Architecture

This is a thin stdio MCP client that translates tool calls into REST API requests against the PageShot API at https://pageshot.site. No data is stored locally — all operations are stateless pass-throughs.
