PageBolt MCP Server

Take screenshots, generate PDFs, and create OG images 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)
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.

Quick Start

1. Get a free API key

2. Install & configure

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

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

Cursor

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

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