What is the Pagecast MCP Server?

Record any browser page as GIF or video via MCP

The short version

Tell your AI to demo your app. Pagecast records the browser, tracks every click and keystroke, and exports a shipping-ready GIF or MP4 — with tooltip zoom overlays and cinematic pan effects. No screen recorder. No video editor. No post-production. Make a demo gif automatically after every PR if you want.
