Pagebolt MCP Server

PageBolt MCP Server

Take screenshots, generate PDFs, create OG images, inspect pages, and record demo videos directly from your AI coding assistant.

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and any MCP-compatible client.

What It Does

PageBolt MCP Server connects your AI assistant to PageBolt's web capture API, giving it the ability to:

• Take screenshots of any URL, HTML, or Markdown (30+ parameters)
• Generate PDFs from URLs or HTML (invoices, reports, docs)
• Create OG images for social cards using templates or custom HTML
• Run browser sequences — multi-step automation (navigate, click, fill, screenshot)
• Record demo videos — browser automation as MP4/WebM/GIF with cursor effects, click animations, and auto-zoom
• Inspect pages — get a structured map of interactive elements with CSS selectors (use before sequences)
• List device presets — 25+ devices (iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Galaxy, etc.)
• Check usage — monitor your API quota in real time

All results are returned inline — screenshots appear directly in your chat.

2. Install & configure

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

      "env": {
        "PAGEBOLT_API_KEY": "pf_live_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or global config):

    "pagebolt": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "pagebolt-mcp"],
