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.

Enable AI coding assistants (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf) to capture screenshots, create PDFs, and record demos on request inside developer workflows or IDE chats via the MCP server.
Visual Regression & Diffing
Compare staging vs production visually to detect regressions and generate pixel-diff overlays programmatically.
On-demand Asset Generation
Generate OG/social images and PDFs for blogs, invoices, or marketing programmatically as part of build or publishing pipelines.
End-to-end Flow Recording for QA
Record multi-step sequences with screenshots and exported videos to document bugs, onboarding flows, or QA test runs.
Integrations
Claude, Cursor & Windsurf (MCP)
