Overview

Built specifically for AI vision workflows, this tool captures high-quality screenshots with automatic resolution limiting and tiling for optimal processing by Claude Vision API and other AI models. It ensures screenshots are perfectly sized at 1072x1072 pixels (1.15 megapixels) for maximum compatibility.

Features

• Fast screenshot capture using Puppeteer headless browser
• Claude Vision optimized with automatic resolution limiting (1072x1072 for optimal 1.15 megapixels)
• Automatic tiling - Full pages are automatically split into 1072x1072 tiles
• Screencast capture - Record series of screenshots over time with configurable intervals
• Always fresh content - No caching ensures up-to-date screenshots
• Configurable viewports for responsive testing
• Wait strategies for dynamic content (networkidle, custom delays)
• Full page capture by default for complete page screenshots
• Animated WebP export - Save screencasts as high-quality animated WebP files
• JavaScript injection - Execute custom JS before screencast capture
• Minimal dependencies for fast npm installs
• MCP integration for seamless AI workflows
• Resource efficient - Automatic browser cleanup after 60 seconds of inactivity
• Memory management - Pages are closed after each screenshot to prevent leaks

Quick Start

MCP Server Usage

Once installed in your IDE, the following tools are available:

Available Tools

• take_screenshot - Captures a high-quality screenshot of a webpage
  • Parameters:
    • url (required): The HTTP/HTTPS URL to capture
    • width (optional): Viewport width in pixels (max 1072, default: 1072)
    • height (optional): Viewport height in pixels (max 1072, default: 1072)
    • fullPage (optional): Capture full page screenshot with tiling (default: true)
    • waitUntil (optional): Wait until event: load, domcontentloaded, networkidle0, networkidle2 (default: domcontentloaded)
    • waitFor (optional): Additional wait time in milliseconds
    • directory (optional): Directory to save screenshots - returns file paths instead of base64 images

Usage Examples

Default usage (returns base64 images):

take_screenshot(url="https://example.com")

Save to directory (returns file paths):

take_screenshot(url="https://example.com", directory="/path/to/screenshots")

When using the directory parameter:

• Screenshots are saved as PNG files with timestamps
• File paths are returned instead of base64 data
• For tiled screenshots, each tile is saved as a separate file
• Directory is created automatically if it doesn't exist

take_screencast

Captures a series of screenshots over time to create a screencast. Only captures the top tile (1072x1072) of the viewport.

Parameters

• url (required): The URL to capture
• duration (optional): Total duration in seconds (default: 10)
• interval (optional): Interval between screenshots in seconds (default: 2)
• jsEvaluate (optional): JavaScript code to execute at the start
• waitUntil (optional): Wait strategy: 'load', 'domcontentloaded', 'networkidle0', 'networkidle2'
• waitForMS (optional): Additional wait time before starting
• directory (optional): Save as animated WebP to directory (captures every 1 second)

Usage Examples

Basic screencast (5 frames over 10 seconds):

take_screencast(url="https://example.com")

Custom timing:

take_screencast(url="https://example.com", duration=15, interval=3)

With JavaScript execution:

take_screencast(
  url="https://example.com",
  jsEvaluate="document.body.style.backgroundColor = 'red';"
)

Save as animated WebP:

take_screencast(url="https://example.com", directory="/path/to/output")

When using the directory parameter:

• An animated WebP is created with 1-second intervals
• Individual frames are also saved as PNG files
• The animation loops forever by default
• WebP provides excellent quality:
  • Full color …
