Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@page-vision-mcpanalyze the UI of the page screenshot for layout issues"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Page Vision MCP
Structured visual analysis pipeline for coding agents — give your AI agent the ability to see.
What It Does
Page Vision MCP turns visual analysis from a prompt into a tool. Instead of asking an LLM to "look at this image," your coding agent calls a structured API that returns consistent, machine-readable results with coordinates.
The Problem: AI coding agents modify frontend code but can't verify the result. They guess effects from source code alone.
The Solution: Screenshot → VLM Analysis → Structured JSON with coordinates → Agent makes informed decisions.
5 Tools:
Tool | What It Does | VLM | Playwright |
| Screenshot a webpage (fallback) | - | Yes |
| Structured UI analysis with region-level localization | Yes | - |
| Screenshot diff with mode constraints | Yes | - |
| Block-level OCR with coordinates | Yes | - |
| Progressive crop refinement with depth guards | Yes | - |

Install
pip install page-vision-mcp
# Optional: Playwright for screenshot fallback
pip install "page-vision-mcp[playwright]"
playwright install chromiumConfigure
Set environment variables in your MCP client config (recommended) or create a .env file (see .env.example):
VISION_API_KEY=your-api-key
VISION_BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1
VISION_MODEL_ID=gpt-4oWorks with any OpenAI-compatible VLM: GPT-4o, GLM-4V, Qwen-VL, etc.
MCP Client Config
Add to your MCP client configuration (Claude Code, Trae, Cursor, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"page-vision-mcp": {
"command": "page-vision-mcp",
"env": {
"VISION_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
"VISION_BASE_URL": "https://api.openai.com/v1",
"VISION_MODEL_ID": "gpt-4o"
}
}
}
}See examples/mcp_config.json for the full configuration with all options.
Tool Details
analyze_ui — UI Analysis
analyze_ui(
image_source="screenshot.png", # URL/path/base64/data_url
prompt="", # optional focus
task="ui", # ui/screenshot/qa/general
detail="high" # low/auto/high
)Returns structured observations with region-level localization (page → section → component → text), inferences, uncertainties, and suggested regions for further analysis.
Example output:
{
"status": "success",
"result": {
"summary": "A dashboard with navigation bar, sidebar, and content area",
"observations": [
{"type": "component", "text": "Top navigation bar with 3 menu items", "bbox": [0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.08]},
{"type": "issue", "text": "Menu items too close together", "bbox": [0.15, 0.02, 0.6, 0.07]}
],
"suggested_regions": [
{"description": "Menu overlap area", "bbox": [0.15, 0.02, 0.6, 0.07], "reason": "Text may overlap, zoom in"}
]
}
}compare_ui — Screenshot Diff
compare_ui(
image_before="before.png",
image_after="after.png",
mode="viewport", # viewport/fullpage/component
focus="changes" # changes/layout/text/colors/general
)Returns structured differences (added/removed/modified/moved) with coordinates. Perfect for verifying code changes.
extract_text — OCR
extract_text(
image_source="screenshot.png",
language="auto", # auto/chinese/english/japanese/korean
preserve_layout=True
)Returns text blocks with type, confidence, and bounding box coordinates. Preserves original language.
crop_analyze — Progressive Refinement
crop_analyze(
image_source="screenshot.png",
x=0.15, y=0.02, width=0.6, height=0.07, # normalized 0.0-1.0
depth=1, # agent-managed, max 3
task="ui"
)Use coordinates from analyze_ui's suggested_regions. Max depth 3 prevents infinite recursion.
capture_page — Screenshot Fallback
capture_page(
url="http://localhost:3000",
viewport_width=1280,
viewport_height=720,
full_page=False,
wait_for="networkidle" # networkidle/domcontentload/load/none
)Note: If your agent has built-in browser capability (Computer Use, Trae browser, Playwright MCP), use that instead and pass the screenshot path to analyze_ui.
Response Format
All tools return a structured JSON envelope:
{
"status": "success",
"tool": "analyze_ui",
"result": { ... },
"warnings": []
}Status can be: success | partial | error | unavailable | unsupported | completed
Configuration
Variable | Default | Description |
| - | VLM API key (required) |
|
| VLM API endpoint |
|
| Model to use |
|
| Request timeout (seconds) |
|
| Max retry attempts |
|
| Allow local file paths |
| - | Allowed directories (comma-separated) |
|
| Block SSRF to private IPs |
|
| Max image size |
|
| Max pixel count |
Security
SSRF Protection: Private IP addresses are blocked by default (
VISION_BLOCK_PRIVATE_IPS)Path Restriction: Local file access can be restricted to allowed directories (
VISION_ALLOWED_PATHS)Image Limits: Max image size and pixel count prevent resource exhaustion
