How do I use this with my AI client?

You connect the MCP to any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf. Once connected, you just tell your agent what you want to capture.

Can I get screenshots without ads?

Does it support mobile views?

Yes. The MCP includes capabilities to simulate mobile viewports for specific devices like iPhone or Android.

Can I capture just one part of a page?

Yes. You can use the capability designed to capture specific CSS elements.

What if the page has lazy-loaded images?

You can use the delayed screenshot capability to tell the agent to wait for the page to finish loading before taking the shot.

Can my AI automatically generate a PDF from a website URL?

Yes! Use the capture_pdf capability. Provide the URL, and your agent will return a professional PDF document of the web page instantly.

How do I take a screenshot specifically for mobile viewports?

Simply ask the agent to run the capture_mobile action. It will automatically configure the viewport to 375x812 pixels to simulate a modern smartphone screen.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Put ScreenshotAPI to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

ScreenshotAPI works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put ScreenshotAPI to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of ScreenshotAPI, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with ScreenshotAPI. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
