ToolSnap MCP — Claude Code MCP server: tools and setup
ToolSnap MCP gives coding agents tools for web extraction, data queries, and media tasks. Browse the catalog to find a tool, then call it through the server.
claude mcp add --transport http toolsnap-mcp https://mcp.toolsnap.app/mcpWhat ToolSnap MCP does
ToolSnap exposes 47 tools, with 17 shown in the initial list. Call tool_catalog to discover the rest, then run a selected tool with use_tool. Listed capabilities include extracting page text, taking screenshots, querying CSV or JSON files, transcribing audio, and generating images. Its fetch_extract tool parses pages without asking another language model to summarize them; the project reports a 98% reduction in token use for this operation.
Free tools work over an HTTP connection. Paid calls are charged in USDC on Base; paying from a wallet requires an x402 payment client, since a wallet alone cannot complete the payment flow. Card credits with an API key are another option. A client that cannot handle x402 payments will need the proxy or an API key to use paid tools.
What it helps with
- extract page text without sending raw HTML to the agent
- capture a web page as an image
- query CSV or JSON data hosted at a URL
- transcribe an audio recording
- generate an image from a text prompt
