URL Screenshot Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Visually inspect a webpage by retrieving a screenshot rather than parsing raw HTML.

• 2

  A simple HTTP API or Dockerized service to capture page screenshots for downstream analysis or context.

• 3

  An MCP-accessible service to let LLMs view web content in environments where running Playwright directly is not desirable.

Description

url-instax provides an HTTP API and an MCP server mode to generate screenshots of webpages, using Playwright when available or an API backend. It can be run locally, via Docker, or used with a provided demo server for testing, and is intended to let LLMs or agents view page visuals without a full browser integration. The package includes OpenAPI docs and a simple MCP config for integration with agent frameworks.
