Do I need to run anything manually?

No. Once the MCP server is installed, your AI assistant orchestrates AutoKap from your IDE chat. The autokap CLI binary stays available for CI/CD pipelines.

Can I capture localhost?

Yes. AutoKap runs Playwright locally on your machine. It works with any URL, including localhost on any port. No deployment needed.

Do I need to write Playwright scripts?

No. AutoKap relies on a built-in capture flow designed to stay reliable. Your AI coding assistant prepares it for you, and you simply run it.

How are credits counted?

Simple: 1 screenshot = 1 credit, 1 clip = 1 credit. Each variant (language, theme, device) counts as one capture.

Can I capture a single component instead of the full page?

Yes. Pick the exact part of the page you want to capture and AutoKap focuses on that component only. Perfect for docs, changelogs, or feature showcases.

Can my team share presets and captures?

Yes. On the Team plan, invite members to your projects. Everyone shares presets, captures, integrations, and the gallery. Credits are billed to the project owner.

Does AutoKap work for native mobile or desktop apps?

Not yet. AutoKap is currently built for web apps (any URL, including localhost). Native mobile and desktop support is on our roadmap.

AutoKap. Automated Screenshots for SaaS

Run your own AutoKap audit

AutoKap automatically generates your app's screenshots, clips, and demo videos, every screen, device, language, and theme, and keeps them up to date on every release. No more manual work.

Get started, free see how it works

The hidden cost

Every release, same story.

6screens

×2devices

×2languages

×2themes

0 screenshots

Every release. Every time. By hand. And that's before clips.

Stale assets everywhere

Your README still shows v1.2. Your App Store has last quarter's UI. Your docs screenshots don't match the product.

Figma for every mockup

Device frames, status bars, branding polish. You're a developer, not a graphic designer.

Getting started

Three steps. From sign-up to every screenshot your app needs.

See what the MCP server does

Terminal

$ claude mcp add autokap --scope user \

--env AUTOKAP_API_KEY=ak_cli_… \

-- npx -y @autokap/mcp@latest

Adding MCP server 'autokap'...

command: npx

args: -y @autokap/mcp

scope: user

Connected. AutoKap tools available.

Output formats

Capture any page or component directly from your codebase, the right language, theme and viewport, every time. The foundation every other format builds on.

Version detection

AutoKap saves your app version with every capture, then watches your production URL for changes. The moment you ship a new release, every affected preset flips to outdated. No manual tracking, no guesswork.

See every preset's status at a glance.
Zero setup. AutoKap watches your prod URL automatically.
All outdated presets are grouped in one place.
Recapture them all in one click, or one command.

Mark a preset as up-to-date in one click when a release doesn't actually change what it captures.

Integrate & automate

Embed a single URL in your README, docs, or landing page. The image updates automatically on every capture run. The URL never changes.

README.md

<img

src="/api/autokap/assets/b487aa4f3b7d33e284dc10249253?lang=en&theme=light&w=800"

alt="Dashboard screenshot"

Toggle theme or language above. The URL updates, the image follows.

Drop the workflow into your repo. AutoKap re-runs every preset on every push or deploy. Dev Links stay in sync with the live UI. No manual capture step.

Triggered by push, deploy webhook, or scheduled cron
Same autokap CLI binary as your local runs, same opcodes, same fidelity
Your AI agent generates the YAML file from one prompt
Your deploy sends an appVersion so AutoKap can mark stale presets and recapture only what changed

Reliability

AutoKap follows a verified capture flow from start to finish so each run stays consistent without fragile manual setup.

Capture program

Capture the screenshot

Isolated captures

Capture a single component instead of the full page. Choose the exact part of the UI you want to show. Perfect for docs, changelogs, or showcasing a specific feature.

Mock data injection

Empty test account? AutoKap injects mock data at capture time so your screenshots look real. Customize the data from your dashboard.

Auto alt text

Every screenshot gets descriptive, context-aware alt text generated automatically. Accessibility without the extra work.

“I'd been putting off updating my screenshots for months. They were still from v1 while the app had changed three times. Hooked it up one evening, everything was current the next morning. Honestly the worst part was the time I'd wasted redoing them by hand before.”

Léo Marchand

Indie hacker

“My README still showed the old dashboard, which was a little embarrassing when people landed on the repo. Now the visuals refresh when I push and I don't even think about it. It's exactly the kind of chore you're happy to forget.”

Maya Chen

Solo founder

“I was skeptical, figured I'd have to reconfigure it page by page. Turns out the assistant tags the UI itself and I just get clean screenshots back. The only thing I had to fix was the dark mode, and barely.”
