Pagewatch tools (5, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsbalanceFreeCheck the remaining free credits on your pagewatch key, plus the per-call prices and, if the key is not switched on yet, the free activation link to give your human. Pass api_key if you did not configure an Authorization header. api_key: an existing pagewatch bearer token, optional.
pdfFreeRender a web page (by url) or raw html into a pdf and return it as base64 pdf data. Provide exactly one of url or html. Respects robots.txt for url input. Pass api_key if you have a pagewatch key, otherwise a free trial key is created for you and returned. url: the page to convert, optional. html: raw html to convert, optional (provide url or html, not both). api_key: an existing pagewatch bearer token, optional. paper: A4, Letter, Legal or A3. landscape: landscape orientation.
read_pageFreeLoad a web page in a real browser and return its main content as clean markdown, with the title, canonical url and basic metadata. Handles javascript-rendered pages. Respects robots.txt and refuses sites that block automation rather than trying to defeat them. Pass api_key if you already have a pagewatch key, otherwise a free trial key is created for you on the first call and returned in the response. url: the page to read (http or https). api_key: an existing pagewatch bearer token, optional. wait_for_selector: css selector to wait for before reading, optional. scroll: scroll the page to trigger lazy-loaded content, optional.
registerwrite actionFreeCreate a pagewatch api key for yourself. Free, no signup and no human form. Returns a bearer token that starts with a small free trial so your first read_page, screenshot or pdf works right away. When the trial runs out, hand the returned verification_uri_complete to your human, who confirms one email to unlock 200 more free credits (still free, nothing to pay). Reuse the token by passing it as api_key, or set it as Authorization: Bearer <token> on this server. Nothing is ever charged: pagewatch has no payment processor connected. label: a short name for this key, optional. purpose: why you want web access, shown to your human on the activation page.
screenshotFreeTake a screenshot of a web page rendered in a real browser and return it as base64 image data (png by default, jpeg optional), with the final url and pixel size. Consent overlays are hidden so the shot shows the page. Respects robots.txt. Pass api_key if you have a pagewatch key, otherwise a free trial key is created for you and returned. url: the page to capture. api_key: an existing pagewatch bearer token, optional. full_page: capture the entire scrollable page, not just the viewport. width, height: viewport size in pixels. format: png or jpeg. wait_for_selector: css selector to wait for before capturing, optional.

What the publisher says
From the Pagewatch repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
mcp-name: dev.pagelens/pagewatch
pagewatch-mcp
An MCP server that gives an agent a real browser. Three tools:
- read_page turns any url into clean markdown
- screenshot returns a png of the rendered page
- pdf turns a url or raw html into a pdf
Plus register and balance for managing your key.
It runs javascript, so it works on pages that a plain http fetch returns empty. It respects robots.txt and refuses sites that block automation instead of trying to defeat them.
No signup
Your first call mints a free trial key and returns real content. There is no form for your agent to get stuck on. When the trial runs out, one email confirmation by a human unlocks 200 more free credits, still free.
Billing is metered, but there is no payment processor connected right now, so nothing is ever charged.
Install
Add this to your MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pagewatch": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["pagewatch-mcp"]
}
}
}That is it. uv fetches the package on first run, and your first tool call returns real content.
Or install it yourself with pip:
pip install pagewatch-mcp{
"mcpServers": {
"pagewatch": { "command": "pagewatch-mcp" }
}
}Already hosted
If you would rather not run anything, the same tools are live at https://pagelens.dev/mcp as a remote MCP server.
Configuration
Everything is optional.
What this package does and does not do
It is deliberately thin. Every tool is one https call to a documented /v1 route on the pagewatch API. There is no browser, no scraping logic and no credential store in this package. You can read the whole thing in a couple of minutes and know exactly what it sends and where.
