Overview
The MCP-URL2SNAP is a lightweight Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to enable AI models to capture screenshots of any specified URL and return the access URL for the captured image. This tool simplifies the process of generating and sharing webpage snapshots, making it ideal for integrating visual capture capabilities into AI applications like Claude Desktop or automation workflows.
What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
MCP is a standardized protocol that streamlines communication between AI models and external systems. It acts as a universal language, allowing different AI agents, tools, and services to interact seamlessly.
