ScreenshotRender MCP Server

Take Screenshot

take_screenshot

Capture a screenshot of any public website and retrieve the image, hosted URL, and page metadata.

Instructions

Capture a screenshot of any public website using ScreenshotRender. Returns the rendered image inline plus a hosted URL and basic page metadata (title, description). Use this whenever the user wants to see, save, or share what a web page looks like.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesThe URL of the page to screenshot. Include the scheme (https://). Example: https://stripe.com
fullPageNoCapture the entire scrollable page instead of just the 1280x720 viewport. Defaults to false.
waitNoMilliseconds to wait after load before capturing, for pages with animations or lazy content. Defaults to none.
timeoutNoMaximum milliseconds to wait for the page to load.
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavior. It mentions returning image inline, hosted URL, and metadata, but does not discuss failure modes for private sites, rate limits, or auth requirements. Adequate but not rich.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences: first states action and output, second gives usage guidance. No wasted words. Front-loaded and efficient.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no annotations or output schema, the description covers the main purpose and return values. It mentions 'public website' and basic metadata, but could elaborate on default viewport or failure scenarios. Still sufficient for a screenshot tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so each parameter is already described in the schema. The description adds no additional parameter meaning, making the baseline score of 3 appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states 'Capture a screenshot of any public website' with clear verb and resource, and explains what returns (image, URL, metadata). There are no sibling tools to differentiate, but the purpose is explicit.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description says 'Use this whenever the user wants to see, save, or share what a web page looks like', giving clear context. No explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives, but no siblings exist.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
