How to Use the PagePixels MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I install the PagePixels MCP Server for Claude Code?

Run the command claude mcp add --transport http pagepixels -- to register the server. This adds the screenshot and configuration tools directly to your local terminal configuration file.

Q: Is my terminal HTML data secure when using PagePixels and Claude Code?

Yes, all HTML payloads passed to snapcustomhtml and the configurations managed by createscreenshotconfig are transmitted securely through the MCP Server over TLS. The rendering engine operates in highly secure, ephemeral containers that do not persist your source code or generated images.

Capture high-resolution website screenshots and render HTML code directly from your terminal using Claude Code and PagePixels.

Execute headless terminal screenshots with Claude Code

The programmatic screenshot tools let you run visual checks inside your deployment pipelines using this MCP Server without launching a browser. Claude Code can execute `quick_snap` to grab instant screenshots of your production endpoints and pipe the output directly to your terminal tools or storage buckets. For complex layouts, the CLI agent uses `quick_snap_with_options` to configure custom viewports and element selectors, letting you automate visual smoke tests right from your shell scripts.

Render local HTML files from your command line

The custom HTML capture tool stops you from copying code to external tools just to check your layout. Claude Code reads your local files and runs `snap_custom_html` to generate a clean visual render of your raw markup instantly. This headless pipeline lets you verify transactional emails, markdown renders, and component layouts without ever leaving your terminal session or SSH connection.

Manage screenshot configurations via CLI

The configuration management tools let you control your visual testing suite with this MCP Server integration using simple terminal commands. Claude Code uses `create_screenshot_config` to build persistent capture templates, making it easy to replicate exact testing parameters across different environments. The agent can query your entire setup using `list_screenshot_configs` or retrieve a single profile with `get_screenshot_config`. If a target URL changes, it updates the remote settings using `update_screenshot_config` without manual database edits.
