MCP Integration

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

The Templated MCP server enables you to:

  • Generate images, videos, and PDFs using natural language commands
  • Create and edit templates directly from your AI assistant
  • Manage your assets including uploads, fonts, and folders
  • Access all API features through conversational prompts

Instead of writing code or using the dashboard, simply tell your AI assistant what you want:

“Create a render from my Instagram template with the title set to ‘Summer Sale’ and change the background to blue”

Build Apps with AI Coding Tools

Section titled “Build Apps with AI Coding Tools”

The Templated MCP works with AI-powered app builders and coding assistants. Simply prompt these tools to use Templated for image generation, and they’ll integrate it into your app automatically.

Example prompt for AI app builders:

“Build me a social media post generator app that uses Templated MCP to create images. Users should be able to enter a headline and select a template, then generate and download the image. See the Templated MCP documentation at https://templated.io/docs/integrations/mcp/ for setup instructions.”

These AI tools can automatically set up the MCP connection, create the UI, and handle the image generation workflow—all from a simple prompt.

Connection Modes

Section titled “Connection Modes”

The Templated MCP server supports two connection modes:

Remote Server (Recommended)

Connect directly to our hosted MCP server at mcp.templated.io. No installation required—just add the URL to your AI assistant’s configuration.

Best for: ChatGPT, Cursor, quick setup

Local Server

Run the MCP server locally using npx. The server runs on your machine and connects to our API.

Best for: Claude Desktop, offline development
