MCP (Model Context Protocol)is an open standard that lets AI assistants discover and use external tools. The TemplateFox MCP server gives your AI assistant 8 tools to generate PDFs, manage templates, and check credits — all from natural language.
- Node.js 18+installed on your machine (fornpx)
- ATemplateFox API key— get one from yourDashboard(starts withsk_)
Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonon macOS,%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.jsonon Windows):
{ "mcpServers": { "templatefox": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@templatefox/mcp-server"], "env": { "TEMPLATEFOX_API_KEY": "sk_your_api_key_here" } } } }
Restart Claude Desktop after saving the file.
claude mcp add templatefox -- npx -y @templatefox/mcp-server
Then set theTEMPLATEFOX_API_KEYenvironment variable in your shell:
export TEMPLATEFOX_API_KEY="sk_your_api_key_here"
Use the same npx command in your MCP server configuration:
SetTEMPLATEFOX_API_KEYin the environment variables.
Then usetemplatefox-mcp-serveras the command instead ofnpx.
After installation, ask your AI assistant:
If the MCP server is configured correctly, the assistant will calllist_templatesand return your template list. If you see an error, check theTroubleshootingsection below.
The MCP server exposes 8 tools that your AI assistant can call:
Generate a PDF from a template with dynamic data. Costs 1 credit per PDF.
“Generate an invoice for John Doe, total $250, using my Invoice template”
“Create a certificate of completion for Jane Smith, course: Advanced React”
Queue async PDF generation with an optional webhook callback. Useful for large or batch jobs. Costs 1 credit per PDF.
“Generate 10 certificates in the background and notify me when done”
Discover all available PDF templates in your account.
Get the fields and variables for a specific template. Useful to understand what data a template expects before generating.
“What fields does my Invoice template need?“
Check the status of an async PDF generation job.
List all async PDF generation jobs and their statuses.
Check remaining credits and account information.
Ask your AI assistant to generate one PDF with specific data. The assistant discovers the template, checks the required fields, and generates the PDF in one flow:
“Generate a packing slip for order #1234, customer John Doe, 3x Widget Blue and 1x Gadget Pro”
Ask about your templates first, then generate once you know what’s available:
“List my templates, then show me the fields for the Receipt template”
Monitor your usage without leaving your AI assistant:
“How many credits do I have left? Show me my recent transactions”
