🚀 MCP URL2SNAP

A lightweight Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables your LLM to capture screenshots of any specified URL and return only the URL to access the image. This tool simplifies the process of generating and sharing web page snapshots, making it a perfect choice for integrating visual capture functionality into AI applications like Claude Desktop or automated workflows.

🚀 Quick Start

What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

Fundamentally, MCP is a standardized protocol designed to simplify communication between AI models and external systems. Imagine it as a common language that allows different AI agents, tools, and services to interact seamlessly.

✨ Features

• Email Verification: Verify email addresses in real-time.
• MCP Integration: Connect smoothly with MCP-compatible LLMs.
• Easy Setup: Deploy quickly using Python and the MCP SDK.
