Templated MCP server

Templated MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Templated - 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
2. Go to your API Key page
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=YOURAPIKEY for automation

Claude (web, desktop, mobile)

Templated is listed in the Claude connectors directory: open 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

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

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

Cursor IDE

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

{
  "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/claudedesktopconfig.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claudedesktopconfig.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:

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