Official setup docs

Nine tools your assistant can use

  • copy_website

    Start a capture of a site you own or are authorized to copy (asks you to confirm authorization).

  • get_capture_status

    Check progress. Waits up to 25 seconds for changes and suggests when to check again.

  • list_captures

    List your recent captures with status and size.

  • get_download_url

    Get a signed download link for the ZIP that works for 15 minutes.

  • list_capture_files

    List the pages and files inside a finished ZIP.

  • preview_page

    Read a captured page as text, clearly marked as untrusted website content.

  • get_capture_report

    See what was captured, skipped or failed.

  • cancel_capture

    Stop a queued or running capture.

  • get_usage_quota

    Show your plan, copies left this month and per-copy limits.

Example prompts

  • “Copy https://my-portfolio.com to a ZIP. It’s my site. Use 50 pages and JS mode.”
  • “Back up our marketing site (we own it) and give me the download link when it’s done.”
  • “How many copies do I have left this month?”
  • “List the files in my last capture and summarize the homepage.”
  • “Why was my last capture partial? Show me the report.”

Only copy sites you own or are authorized to copy

copy_website requires your assistant to confirm that you own the site, have the owner’s permission, or that the content is public domain or licensed. That confirmation is recorded with every job. Copying third-party sites without permission, phishing and bypassing logins are not allowed.

Read the Acceptable Use Policy

Quota and plans

MCP and the website share one quota. If you ask for more pages or depth than your plan allows, the request is reduced to your plan limit and your assistant is told how to upgrade. Every copy is capped at 200 MiB.
