capture
capture_screenshot
Use this when you need a visual capture of a web page. Renders in a real Chromium browser and returns an image. POST variant of capture_screenshot -- same params passed as JSON body instead of query string. Returns: 1. Binary image (PNG, JPEG, or WebP) 2. Custom viewport support (width/height in px) 3. Full-page scroll capture option 4. Configurable format and quality. Example output: binary image file with Content-Type image/png, typical size 200-800KB for a full page. Use this BEFORE visual QA testing, generating page thumbnails, archiving web pages, or verifying responsive design. Essential for automated screenshot pipelines and visual regression testing. Do NOT use for text extraction -- use web_scrape_to_markdown instead. Do NOT use for PDF from data -- use document_generate_pdf instead. Do NOT use for PDF from URL -- use webpage_to_pdf instead.
webpage
webpage_to_pdf

Screenshot & PDF Capture API — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Screenshot & PDF Capture API do?
It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: capture_screenshot, webpage_to_pdf. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Screenshot & PDF Capture API working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 26 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Screenshot & PDF Capture API as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Screenshot & PDF Capture API?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Screenshot & PDF Capture API need an API key?
No. Screenshot & PDF Capture API completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
Is Screenshot & PDF Capture API open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
