SnapRender gives AI agents eyes on the web through a hosted MCP server. Send a public URL and get the page back as an image, a PDF or clean markdown, with no browser to run or maintain. Capture the viewport or the full page as PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF, at desktop size or with a phone, tablet or laptop preset, in light or dark mode. Ads and cookie banners are removed by default, and you can hide elements or click one before the capture. extract_content reads the same page as markdown, text, article, links or metadata, so an agent can see a page and read it in one session. Made for monitoring and client work: batch up to 50 URLs in one job, check the cache for free before spending a capture, share signed links that render without an API key, and get webhooks when a batch finishes or a scheduled capture spots a change. Track competitors' pricing and landing pages, or send clients current screenshots of their sites. Connect with OAuth (Google, GitHub or email) or an API key. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and any MCP client. Free plan: 200 screenshots a month, no credit card. Paid plans from $9 a month for 2,000 up to $199 a month for 200,000.
