Skillforge Render API missed 2 checks this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

render

render_og

Render an inline HTML snippet to a social-share (Open Graph) image sized for link previews, defaulting to the standard 1200x630 OG dimensions. Use this to generate og:image assets for blog posts, products, or share cards without hand-designing an image.

render_pdf

Render a public web page or an inline HTML snippet to a paginated PDF document, using a real headless browser (JS, CSS, and web fonts execute). Use this to turn a URL or HTML into a downloadable/printable PDF, e.g. an invoice, report, or saved article.

extract

extract_page

Fetch a public web page and extract its content as either clean, readable markdown (the default) or as structured JSON fields matched against a caller-supplied schema. Use markdown mode to summarize or quote a page's text; use structured mode to pull specific named fields (e.g. price, title, author) out of a page's content.

screenshot

screenshot_url

Capture a screenshot image of a public web page or an inline HTML snippet, rendered in a real headless browser (JS, CSS, and web fonts execute). Returns a PNG/JPEG/WEBP image. Use this to visually preview a page, generate a thumbnail, or archive how a URL looked at a point in time.

Skillforge Render API — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Skillforge Render API do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: extract_page, render_og, render_pdf, screenshot_url. 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 Skillforge Render API working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 175 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Skillforge Render API?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Skillforge Render API need an API key?

No. Skillforge Render API completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Skillforge Render API?

It answers our handshake in 175 ms on average, which is faster than 78% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
