# Templated MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for [Templated](https://templated.io) - the API for automated image, video, and PDF generation.

This server enables AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT to interact with your Templated account - generate renders, manage templates, upload assets, and access all API features using natural language.

## Features

- **Render Generation**: Create images (JPG, PNG, WebP), videos (MP4), and PDFs from templates
- **Template Management**: List, create, update, clone, and delete templates
- **Layer Inspection**: Get template layers to understand what can be customized
- **Asset Management**: Upload and manage images, videos, and custom fonts
- **Folder Organization**: Create and manage folders for templates

## Quick Start

### Get Your API Key

1. Sign up at [app.templated.io](https://app.templated.io)
2. Go to your [API Key page](https://app.templated.io/api-key)
3. Copy your API key

## Connection Options

### Option 1: Remote Server (Recommended)

Use our hosted MCP server - no installation required, always up-to-date.

**Endpoint:** `https://mcp.templated.io/mcp` (OAuth login) — or `https://mcp.templated.io/mcp?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY` for automation

#### Claude (web, desktop, mobile)

Templated is listed in the Claude connectors directory: open [claude.ai/directory/templatedio](https://claude.ai/directory/templatedio) (or **Customize → Connectors** and search for Templated), click **Connect** and sign in to your Templated account. To add it as a custom connector instead, use **Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector** with `https://mcp.templated.io/mcp`.

#### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http templated https://mcp.templated.io/mcp
```

Then run `/mcp` inside Claude Code and sign in when prompted.

#### Cursor IDE

[![Add to Cursor](https://cursor.com/deeplink/mcp-install-dark.svg)](https://cursor.com/en/install-mcp?name=templated&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC50ZW1wbGF0ZWQuaW8vbWNwIn0=)

Or add it manually to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`. Either way, click **Login** when Cursor asks and sign in to Templated:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "templated": {
      "url": "https://mcp.templated.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

For automations, use `https://mcp.templated.io/mcp?apiKey=your-api-key-here` as the URL instead.

#### ChatGPT

1. Go to **Settings → Connected Apps → Add MCP Server**
2. Enter URL: `https://mcp.templated.io/mcp`
3. Set Authentication to **OAuth** and sign in to Templated when prompted
4. Click Create

**Alternative (automations):** enter `https://mcp.templated.io/mcp?apiKey=your-api-key-here` and set Authentication to **No Auth** instead.

### Option 2: Local Server

Run the MCP server locally on your machine. Requires Node.js 18+.

#### Claude Desktop

To run the server locally instead of using the remote connector, add to your config file:

**macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`  
**Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "templated": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-templated"],
      "env": {
        "TEMPLATED_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### Cursor IDE (Local)

Add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "templated": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-templated"],
      "env": {
        "TEMPLATED_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### Manual Installation

```bash
# Using npx (no install needed)
npx mcp-server-templated

# Or install globally
npm install -g mcp-server-templated
```

## Authentication

The remote server supports two ways to authenticate:

- **OAuth 2.1** via the Templated authorization server — used automatically by interactive clients (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code) when you connect to `https://mcp.templated.io/mcp` without an API key.
- **API key** via `?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY` on the URL or an `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY` header — used for automations and multi-tenant scoping (`folderId`/`externalId`).

"Create a render using template abc-123 with these changes:
- Set the 'title' layer text to 'Welcome!'

- Output as PNG with transparent background"
```

Claude will use the `create_render` tool with:
```json
{
  "template": "abc-123",
  "format": "png",
  "transparent": true,
  "layers": {
    "title": { "text": "Welcome!" },

  }

```
