What is the ScreenshotOne MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire visual auditing and website capturing workflow with ScreenshotOne, the reliable API for high-quality screenshots. By connecting ScreenshotOne to your agent, you transform complex capturing tasks into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly take full-page screenshots, generate PDFs from URLs, and audit page metadata without you ever touching a browser. Whether you are monitoring site changes or archiving visual content, your agent acts as a real-time visual archiver, ensuring your records are always clear and comprehensive.

- Full-page Oversight — Capture entire website pages from top to bottom to maintain a complete view of site design and content.
- Document Intelligence — Generate professional PDFs from any website for easy sharing and offline auditing.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my ScreenshotOne Access Key?
Log in to your ScreenshotOne dashboard, and you will find your Access Key under the 'API Keys' section. Copy and paste it below.
Can the agent capture elements by ID or Class?
Yes. Use the take_element_screenshot tool providing a valid CSS selector (e.g., #header or .product-card). Your agent will return a screenshot of just that element.
Is PDF generation supported for all sites?
Yes. The generate_pdf tool works for any publicly accessible URL, converting the website content into a high-quality PDF document instantly.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
