Install

How do I install the webcap MCP server?

webcap is a hosted endpoint at https://webcap.shoutsid.fyi/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
webcap_analyze ~103

PAID ($0.01): AI analysis of one URL. Pick the task that matches the question you are answering.

NameTypeReqDescription
taskstringyesWhat to analyze (required, no default): classification = page type, accessibility = a11y issues, layout = structure and regions, entities = named entities and facts, sentiment = tone.
urlstringyesAbsolute http(s) URL of the page to process, e.g. https://example.com/

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

webcap_audit ~68

PAID ($0.002): SEO basics plus link and Open Graph health for one URL in a single call. Returns issues with severity, not just raw tags.

NameTypeReqDescription
urlstringyesAbsolute http(s) URL of the page to process, e.g. https://example.com/

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

webcap_capture ~233

PAID ($0.001 image/PDF, $0.005 video): turn a URL into a persistent public artifact. png/jpeg/pdf are a screenshot or PDF and include free OG metadata; mp4/webm scroll-record the page. Settles gasless USDC over x402 — but an unpaid call runs free while the rolling per-IP allowance lasts, so just call it.

NameTypeReqDescription
durationMsinteger–Video formats only. Scroll duration in milliseconds, 1-30000; default 5000.
formatstring–Artifact format, default png. png/jpeg/pdf = screenshot/PDF at $0.001 (POST /v1/x402/capture); mp4/webm = scroll video at $0.005 (POST /v1/x402/video). The 402 challenge states the exact price for th…
fullPageboolean–Image/PDF only. true captures the whole scrollable page (default false: viewport only).
urlstringyesAbsolute http(s) URL of the page to process, e.g. https://example.com/

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

webcap_extract ~190

PAID ($0.01, one payment covers a batch of up to 50 URLs): structured content as JSON — title, headings, paragraphs, links, images, document-order markdown. Provide exactly one of "url" (a single page) or "urls" (a batch); "url" is shorthand for a one-item "urls".

NameTypeReqDescription
schemastring–Optional natural-language description of the JSON to extract. Omit it to get the default page structure.
urlstring–A single page to extract, e.g. https://example.com/. Shorthand for "urls": ["<url>"]. Mutually exclusive with "urls" — sending both is an error.
urlsarray–Batch of pages for one payment, at most 50 items; a batch of one is allowed. Mutually exclusive with "url" — sending both is an error.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

webcap_map_lite ~107

PAID ($0.002): discover a site's URLs from its sitemap and robots.txt plus a 1-hop same-host crawl, and return them as a JSON list. Cheaper than crawling each page with webcap_extract.

NameTypeReqDescription
maxUrlsinteger–Maximum number of URLs to return. Integer 1-50; default 20 when omitted.
urlstringyesAbsolute http(s) URL of the page to process, e.g. https://example.com/

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

webcap_og ~54

Free Open Graph metadata for a URL: title, description, image, icon. No payment.

NameTypeReqDescription
urlstringyesAbsolute http(s) URL of the page to process, e.g. https://example.com/

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

webcap_preview ~94

Free bounded preview of a page: title, description, headings, links, word count and a truncated markdown slice. Use it to peek before the full extract. Rate-limited per IP. This is a teaser, not the product: the real products are free too inside the rolling per-IP allowance.

NameTypeReqDescription
urlstringyesAbsolute http(s) URL of the page to process, e.g. https://example.com/

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

webcap_service_catalog ~76

Free service catalog (no payment): every paid endpoint with its exact price in USDC, the settlement network, USDC asset, payTo address, facilitator and the step-by-step x402 how-to-pay flow, plus the free allowance this caller has left. Call this first to learn what webcap sells and what it costs.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.
