How do I connect my Urlbox account?

After subscribing to the MCP on Vinkius, you just need to enter your Urlbox API Key. Once that is done, your AI client is ready to use the capabilities.

Can I capture just a part of a website?

Yes. You can use CSS selectors to tell your agent to only capture specific elements, such as a single div or a specific header.

What image formats are supported?

The MCP supports PNG, JPG, WebP, and SVG formats for web captures.

Can I render raw HTML code?

Yes, the render_html capability allows your agent to turn raw HTML snippets into visual images.

How do I check my remaining credits?

You can ask your agent to check your usage stats or account info directly using the built-in management capabilities.

Can I capture only a specific part of a webpage?

Yes! Use the render_selector capability. Provide the URL and the CSS selector (e.g., #my-chart) to capture only that specific element instead of the whole page.

How do I see how many credits I have left?

Run the get_credit_usage query. Your agent will retrieve your current credit balance and monthly rendering metrics directly from Urlbox.

Can this capability convert a URL directly to PDF?

Absolutely. Use the capture_pdf capability by providing the URL. You can also specify an optional page size like 'A4' or 'Letter'.

MCP VERIFIED · PRODUCTION READY · VINKIUS GUARANTEED

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.

Real work

What teams actually run

Responsive Design Testing

Ask your agent to capture how a site looks on different screen sizes to verify layouts.

Automated Documentation

Turn blog posts or documentation pages into clean, printable PDFs instantly.

UI Component Snippets

Render raw HTML code to see how a specific button or card looks before deploying it.

Visual Monitoring

Automate a task

Put Urlbox 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

Urlbox 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 Urlbox 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.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 12 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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