apitemplate_list_templatesList the templates of the account (PDF and image): template_id, name, format (PDF or JPEG), status, group and dates. Use the template_id with the create tools. Read-only; templates are never changed. GET /v2/list-templates.
apitemplate_get_templateOne PDF template's HTML body, CSS and print settings (the vendor marks this endpoint experimental, so it can answer with an error for some accounts or image templates). Read-only. GET /v2/get-template.
apitemplate_list_objectsList the PDFs and images generated so far, newest first: transaction_ref, template_id, type (PDF, JPEG or MERGE), your meta reference, the hosted file URLs (primary_url, secondary_url for the PNG) and dates. Files already deleted or expired have deletion_status set. Read-only. GE
apitemplate_create_pdfWRITE: renders one PDF from a saved PDF template and your JSON data (the keys the template uses, e.g. invoice_number, items), and returns the hosted download_url (never the file bytes). Synchronous. COST: uses 1 generation of your APITemplate.io plan quota per call (see apitempla
apitemplate_create_imageWRITE: renders one image (JPEG and PNG) from a saved image template, changing the named layers with overrides (e.g. [{"name":"text_1","text":"Hello"},{"name":"image_1","src":"https://..."}]), and returns the hosted download URLs (never the file bytes). COST: uses 1 generation of
apitemplate_create_pdf_from_htmlWRITE: renders one PDF from HTML (Jinja2 placeholders like {{name}} are filled from data), without a saved template, and returns the hosted download_url (never the file bytes).

COST: uses 1 generation of your APITemplate.io plan quota per call (see apitemplate_get_account). Do not retry or repeat it un
apitemplate_create_pdf_from_urlWRITE: APITemplate.io opens one public web page URL and prints it to a PDF, and returns the hosted download_url (never the file bytes). The page is fetched by APITemplate.io, not by this server; pages that need a login cannot be printed. COST: uses 1 generation of your APITemplat
apitemplate_merge_pdfsWRITE: joins 2-20 PDFs (public http(s) URLs, in the given order, e.g. earlier download_url values) into one PDF and returns the hosted primary_url (never the file bytes).

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.22.3) reached the registry yesterday.
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your APITemplate.io credentials.
