What your AI can do with it

  • Capture a screenshot of any web page
  • Save a page as a PDF
  • Convert a page or raw HTML into Markdown
  • Capture from a URL or from HTML you provide

Install snapforge-mcp

The server’s own address, for the clients that take one directly. Or connect Ahel once and every client you use reads it from one address, with the account kept on Ahel rather than in each client’s config.

  • Claude Code

    claude mcp add --transport http --scope user snapforge-mcp 'https://snapforge.org/mcp'

    Run it once in your project, then open /mcp to approve any sign-in the server asks for.

  • Claude Desktop

    https://snapforge.org/mcp

    Add a custom connector in Settings, paste this address, and approve the sign-in.

  • Cursor

    cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=snapforge-mcp&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3NuYXBmb3JnZS5vcmcvbWNwIn0=

    Open the link and Cursor adds the server at that address.

  • ChatGPT

    https://snapforge.org/mcp

    In Settings, enable Developer mode, create an MCP app, and paste this address. Your plan and workspace must allow custom apps.

  • Codex

    codex mcp add snapforge-mcp --url 'https://snapforge.org/mcp'

    Run it once, then sign in with codex mcp login snapforge-mcp if the server asks for an account.

From the project's README

As published by sporty303/snapforge-mcp in README.md.

MCP server for SnapForge — give your AI agents three tools to read and render the web:

  • snapforge_screenshot — capture any URL or HTML as PNG/JPEG (full-page by default)
  • snapforge_pdf — render a URL or HTML to PDF (singlePage option + clean pagination, no cut blocks)
  • snapforge_markdown — extract clean Markdown from any page (article extraction) → perfect for feeding live web content to an LLM

Works with Claude Code & Desktop, Cursor, Kilo Code, Cline, Windsurf, Zed, VS Code, Hermes, OpenClaw — and any MCP client.

Examples

Real outputs, generated live from the API:

More samples: full-page screenshot (any height) · pricing page · mobile viewport · PDFs (invoice, single-page article, multi-page report, certificate) · a page as Markdown
