Pagebolt
PageBolt is a web-capture API platform built for developers and teams who need reliable screenshots, PDFs, OG images, narrated demo videos, multi-step browser sequences, and visual diffs. It centralizes seven capture and automation capabilities behind a single plain-HTTP API key and official SDKs (Node.js and Python), removing the need to manage headless browsers, ffmpeg stacks, or device pools. PageBolt is aimed at product teams, CI/CD pipelines, AI agents/IDEs (via MCP), and any developer who wants automated, reproducible visual outputs and narrated PR demos.
PageBolt also provides an MCP server for direct integration with AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf so agents can request captures and narrated demos on command. CI/CD integrations (GitHub Action) enable zero-config narrated demo generation for every pull request and automated posting of the demo to PR comments.
