Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant configure, price, proof and add Smartpress custom print products to a cart, with no login required.

What you can do
  • Find Smartpress products and read their configuration options and downloadable print templates
  • Create and update configuration sessions with version history, and read the latest session state
  • Create, link, clone and list file sessions, and mint presigned upload URLs for artwork
  • Analyze uploaded files and recommend matching products from the analysis
  • Run proofs and file checks, read their results, and record proof approval decisions
  • Add the configured session to a cart and return a cart link
When to use it
Useful when someone wants to order custom print work through Smartpress and needs help choosing a product, picking options, uploading and preflighting artwork, or assembling a cart without a login.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at mcp.smartpress.com; no packages, environment variables or headers are declared. Files are uploaded through short-lived presigned URLs, so the client or user needs a way to upload to that URL.
Before you install
It acts on a real print shop: add_to_cart creates a cart and returns a shareable cart link, and set_proof_approval records a customer decision where an approved proof is what prints. Uploaded artwork and its analysis are sent to Smartpress services. Presigned upload URLs are short-lived and should not be shared.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Smartpress in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.smartpress%2Fmcp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

get_product_config

Get Product Configuration

Retrieve the default product configuration for a given product ID. Returns the full ProductConfiguration response including: - **availableOptions**: All configurable options organized by category: - **pressSheets**: Nested hierarchy of press sheet options (type -> weight -> color). Each press sheet defines the printable substrate. - **operations**: A map keyed by camelCase operation name (e.g. "cutting", "folding", "binding"). Each operation contains its own selectable options. - **inks**: Available ink configurations for front and back of the press sheet. - **proofs**: Proof approval workflow options. - **turnaroundTimes**: Delivery timeline options. - **selections**: The current default selections for the product. - **validation**: Validation messages indicating any issues with the current selections. - **quote**: Pricing information based on current selections. Use this tool to understand what options are available for a product before starting a configuration session.

ParametersproductIdrequired

find_products

Find Products

Find Smartpress products matching a name or description. Returns matching products with their id, name, and description (plus group, link, image and a relevance score). Only products that can be configured through this assistant are returned. If nothing fits, say so and point the customer to smartpress.com rather than suggesting a product from memory. Use this to discover products by what the user is trying to print (e.g. "saddle stitch booklet", "matte business cards"). Take the "id" of the best match (e.g. "SLS_7") and pass it to create_config_session as productId to configure the product, then add_to_cart.

Parameterslimitqueryrequired

get_product_templates

Get Product Templates

Get the downloadable print templates and design guides for a Smartpress product. Returns: - **summary**: a one-line description of what this product has — paraphrase this rather than counting the arrays yourself. - **designGuides**: instructional PDFs about how to set artwork up (bleed, folding). Not tied to a size. - **templateGroups**: the print templates, in the groups the layout team defined (e.g. "Flat", "Single Fold"). `group` is omitted when a product's templates are not grouped, which is common. - Each entry has a **label** (what to call it to the customer) and **files** (format -> download URL, e.g. `{"pdf": "https://...", "idml": "https://..."}`). Use this when a customer asks for a template, a layout guide, artwork setup help, dimensions to design to, or an InDesign file. If you only know the product by name, call find_products first and pass its "id" (e.g. "SLS_7") here. Rules: - Give customers the exact URLs this tool returned. Never construct, guess, or edit a template URL. - Use the **label** verbatim when naming a template. Labels are display text written by the layout team — do NOT parse them as dimensions or assume a label matches the customer's configured size. - Only offer a format that appears in that entry's **files**. Most templates have PDF and InDesign, but some have only one, and a few are Illustrator or spreadsheets. - If a product has none, say so plainly. Many products have no templates yet — that is normal, not an error, and you must not substitute another product's template.

ParametersformatincludeproductIdrequired

create_config_session

Create Configuration Session

Create a new product configuration session to begin iterative configuration. This starts a server-side session that tracks your selection changes with version history. **Workflow:** 1. Call this tool with a productId (or productConfigId to clone an existing config) and optional initial selections 2. The response includes the full ProductConfiguration with a productConfigSessionId 3. Review the validation messages in the response to see if selections are valid 4. Call update_config_session to refine selections based on validation feedback 5. Repeat steps 3-4 until validation is clean 6. Once satisfied, use add_to_cart to add the configured product to a shopping cart The response includes a **configurationUrl** field: a direct link to view the configuration on the storefront website (when available). You must provide either a productId (to start from product defaults) or a productConfigId (to bootstrap from an existing blueprint or configuration). **IMPORTANT — selections structure:** The selections object must use nested objects that mirror the structure of the selections field in the response. Flat keys are silently ignored (no error returned). Always verify the response's selections match what you requested. Known selection keys and their required structure: - **Size** — nested sizeSelection object: {"sizeSelection": {"width": 6, "height": 9, "presetDimensionsId": 15}} For custom dimensions, omit presetDimensionsId or set it to null. - **Quantity & Pages** — flat top-level keys (these DO work as simple values): {"quantity": 1200, "pages": 20} - **Paper** — nested paperSelection object: {"paperSelection": {"pressSheetTypeId": 78, "pressSheetWeightId": 5, "coverPressSheetTypeId": 78, "coverPressSheetWeightId": 3}} - **Ink** — nested objects per ink position: {"coverSide1Ink": {"id": 146}, "coverSide2Ink": {"id": 146}, "interiorSide1AndSide2Ink": {"id": 146}} - **Proof** — nested proofSelection: {"proofSelection": {"proofId": 1}} - **Turnaround*

Update Configuration Session

Update a configuration session with new selections. Saves the updated selections and returns the full ProductConfiguration response. **IMPORTANT — selections structure:** The selections object must use nested objects that mirror the structure of the selections field in the response. Flat keys are silently ignored (no error returned). Always verify the response's selections match what you requested.

get_session_latest

Get Session Latest

Retrieve the latest state of a configuration session. Returns the full ProductConfiguration response with current selections, validation messages, and available options. Use this to check session state without making changes.

ParameterssessionIdrequired

create_file_session

Create File Session

Create a file session for uploading proof/artwork files. Returns a **fileSessionId** that is durably joined to your configuration session so add_to_cart can attach the files without you threading the ID. **Two workflows:** - **File-first** (no product chosen yet): call with no arguments. A placeholder product is used; the real product is reconciled automatically when you later call create_config_session with this fileSessionId. - **Config-first** (configuration session already exists): pass productConfigSessionId (and ideally the productId). The file session is created and linked immediately, so add_to_cart needs only the configuration sessionId. You normally do NOT need to pass the returned fileSessionId to other tools — the join is persisted server-side.

ParametersproductIdproductConfigSessionId

clone_file_session

Clone File Session

Copy a file session — files, approved proofs, and completed check results — into a NEW file session, leaving the original and its configuration join untouched. Optionally link the CLONE to a configuration session in the same call. Use this instead of link_file_session whenever the source file session is one a page is currently displaying: linking would MOVE the single join pointer and strip the files off that page, while cloning gives the target configuration its own copy. Typical case: the customer is on a product page and selects a recommended candidate — clone the page's file session and link the clone to the candidate's configuration session. Returns the new **fileSessionId** (the clone), the sourceFileSessionId, and fileCount.

ParametersfileSessionIdrequiredproductConfigSessionId

list_session_files

List Session Files

List the files currently attached to a file session, including each file's name, size, type, and sessionFileId. Use this to confirm an upload landed or to show the user what is attached.

ParametersfileSessionIdrequired

get_file_upload_url

Get File Upload URL

Mint a short-lived presigned URL that a client (a browser, an app, or the user) can use to upload a file directly to storage, attached to a file session. Use this when the bytes are NOT on the machine running this server — e.g. the remote/hosted server, or a file the user has in a browser. (If this server also offers a tool that uploads a file from the local machine, prefer it for local files: it performs the upload for you.) **Easiest for a person:** if the response includes **uploadPageUrl**, give that link to the user. It opens a simple Smartpress upload page in their browser where they pick the file; the page uploads it directly and securely (the file never passes through the chat). **For a programmatic client:** issue a single HTTP **PUT** to **url** with the raw file bytes as the body and **no extra headers** — do not set Content-Type and do not add x-amz-* headers; everything required is already baked into the URL. The URL expires (default 15 minutes), so use it promptly. Confirm the result with list_session_files. Returns **uploadPageUrl** (when the server has a public base URL configured), the raw **url**, the assigned **sessionFileId**, the storage **key**, and **expiresAt**.

ParametersfileNamerequiredexpiresInfileSessionIdrequired

add_to_cart

Add To Cart

Add the current session configuration to the cart. Calls the add-to-cart endpoint which translates the session's selections into the format required by the external cart service. On success, returns a **clientKey** (anonymous cart identifier) and a **cartLink** (shareable URL to view the cart). These are also persisted on the session and will appear in all subsequent session responses. If neither clientKey nor userId is provided, a new anonymous cart is created. Repeat calls add the item again (no idempotency). **Files are attached automatically.** If the session was linked to a file session (via create_file_session / link_file_session / create_config_session), the backend resolves the file session from the configuration session — you do NOT need to pass fileSessionId. Only pass fileSessionId to override that durable link with a specific file session. The cartLink opens the cart on the Smartpress website, where the customer reviews the order and checks out.

ParametersuserIdjobNameclientKeysessionIdrequiredfileSessionId

analyze_file

Analyze File

Analyze a file already uploaded to a file session and return its analysis: PDF metadata (page size/count), extracted text, image labels, color palette, quality scores, and an AI classification (productCategory, industry, designStyle, targetAudience, marketingIntent). The file is analyzed in place from the file session's storage — no re-upload. Analysis typically takes 30–90 seconds; this tool waits up to waitSeconds and otherwise returns a pending status with an uploadId — resume with get_file_analysis. Feed the results to recommend_products to get product candidates.

ParametersfileNamewaitSecondsfileSessionIdrequired

get_file_analysis

Get File Analysis

Fetch the status/results of a file analysis started by analyze_file (use the uploadId it returned). Returns the full results object once status is "ready".

ParametersuploadIdrequiredwaitSecondsfileSessionId

get_file_session_analysis

Get File Session Analysis

Read the persisted structured analysis summary for a file session. Returns { analysis } where analysis is the AnalysisSummary written by analyze_file (page count, trim size, classification, color palette, and recommended file-derived selections), or null when the file session carries no stored analysis. Use this on a fresh product-page arrival to decide whether to open with a file summary and offer to match the configuration. Absence of a summary means "no analysis → start from scratch".

ParametersfileSessionIdrequired

recommend_products

Recommend Products

Map a file analysis (from analyze_file) to Smartpress product candidates: productId, productName, a rationale citing the analysis evidence, a 0-1 confidence, and machine-readable matchSignals. Candidates are ordered by confidence (max 5). Pass the analysis object returned by analyze_file (or just the uploadId to have it fetched). Use get_product_config on a candidate's productId to see its options before creating a configuration session for the user's chosen candidate.

ParametersanalysisuploadId

get_file_session_proofs

Get File Session Proofs

Read the proof AND file-check state for a file session. Returns a compact view: - isProofable: whether the session's product/config supports proofing. - isFileCheckAvailable: whether a file check can run. A file check is a preflight report only (no proof file) and is often available when proofing is not. - files: [{ fileName, isProofable, isFileCheckAvailable }] per uploaded file. - proofs: newest-first, each { id, fileName, type, status, approvalStatus, invalid, invalidReason, errors[], warnings[], noReport, createdAt, proofFileUrl, totalPages }. - checks: newest-first file checks, each { id, fileName, type, status, invalid, errors[], warnings[], noReport, createdAt }. `id` is the proofId / checkId the create call returned — match on it to find the job you just started (an older proof or check for the same file may still be listed). A proof or check is "ready to report" when status is COMPLETED. `invalid: true` means a later configuration change made it stale and it needs re-running — it is computed server-side; just read it. Checks carry no invalidReason (only one reason is kept per session, chosen for proofs, so it reads wrong for checks), so describe a stale check in your own words. `errors`/`warnings` are the preflight messages shown to the customer (capped for length). `noReport: true` means a COMPLETED proof or check has no preflight report (for example a proof copied from a past order), so its errors and warnings are unknown, not empty: never tell the customer it has no issues. `proofFileUrl` is a signed link to the proof PDF. For each file currently in the session, only the latest proof that is neither invalid nor failed can carry it, and only once that proof is COMPLETED. While a newer proof of that file is still running, or if the file was replaced or removed, there is no link. It stops working within 24 hours of this read, possibly sooner; read again for a fresh one. If you pass it on, use it exactly as returned: never shorten, rebuild, or guess it, or

ParametersfileSessionIdrequired

create_proof

Create Proof

Generate (enqueue) a preflight proof for a file in a file session: the proof service checks the file against the product's print specs and produces a proof with any errors/warnings. Returns { proofId, sessionId } once enqueued. Proof generation takes tens of seconds — after calling this, poll get_file_session_proofs until the proof whose `id` equals proofId reaches status COMPLETED, then report its errors/warnings. **Artwork orientation (checked before every proof).** If the artwork is turned against the configured size (e.g. 6 x 4 landscape art on a 4 x 6 portrait postcard) and swapping width and height fits it, this tool CHANGES THE CONFIGURED SIZE to match the artwork before proofing. The result then carries `orientation`: - `changedNow` (on the swap actions) is true only when THIS call changed the size. Announce a size change to the customer ONLY when `changedNow` is true, never otherwise. - `action: "swapped"` (`changedNow: true`): the size was changed (`from` → `to`, plus the new `price`) and the proof uses the new size. You MUST tell the customer the size changed, and the price if it changed, in your next message. - `action: "swapped-not-synced"` (`changedNow: true`): this call changed the size (`from` → `to`) but NO proof was started yet (no proofId) because the file service hasn't picked it up. Tell the customer the size changed, then call create_proof again in a few seconds. - `action: "swapped-earlier"` (`changedNow: false`): the configuration already had the size that fits the artwork (an earlier create_proof changed it, or the customer chose it); nothing was changed now and this proof uses it. Don't announce it as a new change. - `action: "warned"`: the artwork is turned but the size was NOT changed (`message` says why; `reason: "config-not-synced"` means the file service had not caught up with the configuration, so the proof may come back invalid and need re-running). The proof will show the artwork unrotated, possibly cut off, with a warning. Tell t

ParametersfileNamerequiredfileSessionIdrequired

create_file_check

Create File Check

Run (enqueue) a file check for a file in a file session: the proof service preflights the file against the product's print specs and produces a report of errors/warnings. Unlike create_proof it makes NO proof file — the report is the whole result, and there is nothing to approve. Use it when the session is NOT proofable but isFileCheckAvailable is true (read get_file_session_proofs first). When the session is proofable, prefer create_proof. Returns { checkId, ... } once enqueued. A check takes tens of seconds — after calling this, poll get_file_session_proofs until the `checks` entry whose `id` equals checkId reaches status COMPLETED, then report its errors/warnings. Refuses (tool error, nothing queued) when the session or file isn't eligible for a file check — do not retry a refusal. ONLY call this on the customer's explicit go-ahead (a run-file-check quick-action click or a clear yes) — never unprompted. The file must already be uploaded to the session.

ParametersfileNamerequiredfileSessionIdrequired

set_proof_approval

Set Proof Approval

Record the customer's decision on a proof: APPROVED (they sign off on the proof as shown), FURTHER_REVIEW (a Smartpress expert checks the file before printing), or DECLINED. An approved proof is what prints: when the order is placed, the approved proof file goes to production and the order item is marked "User approved their instant proof through an AI assistant." Before calling this, ALL of these must be true: 1. The customer has seen the proof: you gave them its `proofFileUrl` from get_file_session_proofs (exactly as returned) or they opened it on smartpress.com. "It's in the file area" alone is not enough. 2. In the same message as the offer, you restated the product, the proof, and every preflight error and warning. 3. The customer then confirmed with an approve / expert-review action click or a clear yes to that restatement. Never call this unprompted or on an ambiguous reply. Which statuses to offer: if the proof has preflight ERRORS, or `noReport: true` (no report, so its errors are unknown), do not offer approval. Offer expert review (FURTHER_REVIEW) first, or a corrected file and a new proof. If it has only WARNINGS (or nothing), offer approval and expert review side by side. Declining is always available. The tool re-reads the session and refuses (tool error, nothing written) when the proof isn't in this file session, isn't COMPLETED, or is out of date (`invalid`); refuses APPROVED and FURTHER_REVIEW when the proof carries no `proofFileUrl` (not the current proof the customer could have opened); and refuses APPROVED when the proof has errors or no report. Don't retry a refusal; explain it and offer what it suggests. Approving or requesting review of one proof clears that status from the session's other proofs. Returns { proofId, fileSessionId, approvalStatus, approvalOrigin }.
