## MCP tools (5)

### `read_url` (~72 tokens)

Fetch a web page and return its main content as clean, LLM-ready Markdown. Runs a real browser, so JavaScript-rendered pages work, and it strips nav/ads/boilerplate. Use this whenever you need to READ what's on a URL.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): The page to read

### `capture_url` (~71 tokens)

Take a screenshot of a web page so you can SEE it (returns an image). Use this when the visual layout matters or a page won't reduce to text.

Input parameters:

- `full_page` (boolean): Capture the whole scrollable page (default: just the viewport)
- `url` (string, required): The page to screenshot

### `url_to_pdf` (~45 tokens)

Render a web page to a print-ready PDF (A4). Returns the PDF as a base64 resource.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): The page to turn into a PDF

### `extract_url` (~79 tokens)

Extract STRUCTURED data from a web page as JSON: schema.org JSON-LD (products, articles, recipes, events…), OpenGraph/Twitter/meta, every table as rows of cells, images and links. Use this when you need the page's facts/fields, not its prose.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): The page to extract data from

### `crawl_url` (~87 tokens)

Crawl a website into Markdown: start at a URL, follow same-origin links, and return each page's content as clean Markdown. Use this to ingest a whole docs site or knowledge base in one call (great for RAG). Bounded by `limit` pages.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Max pages to crawl (default 10)
- `url` (string, required): The starting URL

That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the rasterly MCP server expose?

### Is the rasterly MCP server still maintained?

rasterly is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the rasterly MCP server under?

rasterly declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
