Key Capabilities
Real-time UI rendering with Vercel AI SDK
`quick_snap` initiates a live screenshot capture of any target URL, letting your AI client stream the visual results directly to the user's browser. Instead of staring at a loading spinner, your users see the screenshot render in real-time as the Vercel AI SDK handles the stream. This setup bypasses traditional backend polling. By pairing the SDK's Edge-compatible streaming with this MCP Server, you bypass serverless timeouts and deliver instant visual feedback directly inside your React components.
Dynamic viewport control via JSON configurations
`create_screenshot_config` saves your specific viewport dimensions, custom headers, and delay settings directly to the PagePixels backend. Your AI client reads these saved settings to generate consistent mockups across mobile, tablet, and desktop sizes. Working with the Vercel AI SDK means you can feed these configuration IDs directly into your UI state. When a user requests a mobile preview, the agent calls the configuration tool and updates the live React node without redrawing the entire page.
Custom HTML mockups rendered on the Edge
`snap_custom_html` accepts raw HTML strings and CSS from your Vercel AI SDK client, rendering them into high-resolution images instantly. This tool lets your AI generate code on the fly and immediately show the visual output to the user. You don't need a separate browser automation server to test dynamic layouts. The agent writes the code, sends it to the MCP Server, and streams the finished PNG back to the user's chat window in a single turn.
