AgentRender
AgentRender is a hosted API for AI agents that need to render public web pages. It provides screenshot, PDF, and structured extraction endpoints via REST and a remote MCP server, with a universal MCP URL at https://api.agentrenderapi.com/mcp. The service uses real Chromium via Playwright on Fly and returns render receipts with hashes for audit trails. AgentRender supports PNG, JPEG, and WebP screenshots, including viewport or full-page captures. It can convert a URL to PDF for reports, archives, and agent handoffs, and extract title, meta, main text, and links as JSON. The API is documented with OpenAPI and interactive docs, and an stdio package is available for MCP clients. Access is offered through a free waitlist tier and paid plans: Free (150 renders/month, 10 rpm), Starter ($17/mo, 2,000 renders/month, 40 rpm), Growth ($79/mo, 10,000 renders/month, 80 rpm), and Scale ($259/mo, 50,000 renders/month, 150 rpm). Authentication uses Bearer API keys, and paid plans charge via Stripe.

Problem solved
AI agents and LLM applications often lack direct access to rendered web content, making it difficult to capture screenshots, generate PDFs, or extract structured text from public URLs. AgentRender solves this by providing a hosted, MCP-compatible API that returns rendered page artifacts without requiring teams to maintain their own browser fleet.
Use cases
- Capture full-page screenshots of public websites for visual regression or agent observation.
- Convert web pages to PDF for report generation, archiving, or agent handoffs.
- Extract readable title, meta, main text, and links from a URL as JSON.
- Connect ChatGPT or Codex to a remote MCP server for on-demand web rendering.
- Build research or monitoring agents that need visual and textual snapshots of web pages.
- Generate audit trails for agent actions using render receipts with hashes.
- Automate web content collection for data pipelines without managing headless browsers.
