Common questions

Is Pagewatch safe?

It passed 0 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: PAGEWATCH_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.3) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

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.

Variable	Default	What it does
`PAGEWATCH_API_KEY`	none	An existing key. Without one, the first call mints a free trial key and hands it back.
`PAGEWATCH_BASE_URL`	`https://pagelens.dev`	Point at a different pagewatch deployment.
`PAGEWATCH_MCP_TRANSPORT`	`stdio`	Set to `http` to serve streamable-http on `$PORT` instead.
`PAGEWATCH_SOURCE`	`mcp-selfhost`	Attribution tag recorded when a key is registered.

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.
