Basic information

Config

Add this server to your MCP-compatible client using the configuration below.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pagebolt": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "pagebolt-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PAGEBOLT_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tools

Capture a screenshot of a URL, HTML, or Markdown content. Supports device emulation, ad/chat/tracker blocking, metadata extraction, geolocation, timezone, styling (macOS/Windows frames, gradient/glass backgrounds, shadows), and more. Returns an image (PNG, JPEG, or WebP).

Generate a PDF from a URL or HTML content. Supports custom margins, headers/footers, page ranges, and scaling. Saves the PDF to disk and returns the file path.

Generate an Open Graph / social card image. Returns an image using built-in templates or custom HTML.

Execute a multi-step browser automation sequence. Navigate pages, interact with elements (click, fill, select), and capture multiple screenshots/PDFs in a single browser session. Each output counts as 1 API request.

Record a professional demo video of a multi-step browser automation sequence. Produces MP4/WebM/GIF with cursor highlighting, click effects, smooth movement, step notes, browser frame (macOS/Windows), gradient/glass backgrounds, and more. Costs 3 API requests. Saves to disk. BEST PRACTICE: Keep videos concise (5-15 action steps). Do NOT add wait steps between every action — the pace parameter handles timing. Only use wait for page loads or narration holds. Do NOT use zoom unless the user explicitly asks for it.

Inspect a web page and get a structured map of all interactive elements, headings, forms, links, and images — each with a unique CSS selector. Use this BEFORE run_sequence or record_video to discover what elements exist on the page and get reliable selectors. Returns text (not an image), so it is fast and cheap. Costs 1 API request.

List all available device presets for viewport emulation (e.g. iphone_14_pro, macbook_pro_14). Use the returned device names with the viewportDevice parameter in take_screenshot.

Check your current PageBolt API usage and plan limits.

Create a persistent browser session (Starter+ plan required). The session keeps a live browser page open so you can reuse cookies, localStorage, and auth state across multiple take_screenshot or run_sequence calls. Pass the returned session_id to those tools. Sessions expire after 10 minutes of inactivity (hard cap: 30 minutes). Useful for AI agent workflows that log in once and then take multiple screenshots of authenticated pages.

List all active persistent browser sessions for your API key. Returns session IDs, creation times, and expiry times. Useful for checking which sessions are still alive before reusing them.

Explicitly destroy a persistent browser session before it expires. Frees the browser page immediately. Use this when you are done with a session to free up capacity.

Overview

What is PageBolt?

PageBolt is an MCP server that connects AI coding assistants to the PageBolt web capture API. It enables screenshotting, PDF generation, OG image creation, browser automation, demo video recording, and page inspection directly from chats in Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and other MCP-compatible clients.

How to use PageBolt?

Sign up for a free API key at pagebolt.dev, then configure your MCP client with npx -y pagebolt-mcp as the command and your API key in the PAGEBOLT_API_KEY environment variable. Once set up, ask your AI assistant to capture pages, take screenshots, or record videos — results appear inline.
