Overview
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code or any other MCP client to Urlbox by adding one URL and signing in with your Urlbox account.
Add https://api.urlbox.com/mcp to your AI assistant or coding agent, then sign in with your Urlbox account. No key needed.
That connects your agent to Urlbox's remote MCP server. It can then take screenshots, make PDFs and videos, turn pages into Markdown, look up your renders and check your usage, all from a conversation. Renders bill exactly like API requests.
Connect
| Your agent | Setup |
|---|---|
| Claude (web, Desktop and mobile), ChatGPT | Add a custom connector with the URL, then sign in |
| Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code | Add the URL to the agent's MCP config, then sign in |
| Any other client that supports OAuth for remote MCP servers | Add the URL, then sign in when asked |
Step-by-step setup for each client is on Connect your agent.
When you sign in, you choose the organisation, an access level (Full access, Render and read or Read only) and a default project for renders. You can see and revoke connections under Organisation settings, AI agents. See Signing in.
Other ways to connect
- Headless, CI or clients without OAuth support: use an organisation API key instead of signing in. See Using an API key instead.
- Clients that can only start local servers: the
@urlbox/screenshot-mcpnpm package is a local bridge to the remote server. See Clients that only run local servers. - Terminal agents and shell scripts: drive the Urlbox CLI with its agent skill. See Using the CLI from an AI agent.
