VerifiedSTDIODesktop onlyProductivity & WorkflowFiles & Storage

Overview

AI-generated overview

TemplateFox PDF server that lets an AI assistant list templates, fill them with data and generate PDFs through the TemplateFox API.

What you can do
List available templates and inspect the fields each template requires before filling it in. Generate a PDF from a template with dynamic data, or queue an asynchronous generation job with an optional webhook. Check the status of async jobs and list past PDF generation jobs. Review account information, remaining credits and credit transaction history.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to produce documents such as invoices or reports from existing TemplateFox templates without leaving the chat, or to check credits and job history for PDF generation.
Requirements
Runs locally as an npm package via npx or a global install, so Node.js is needed. Requires a TemplateFox account and the TEMPLATEFOX_API_KEY environment variable. An optional TEMPLATEFOX_BASE_URL can override the API endpoint. Network access to the TemplateFox API is required.
Before you install
The API key is a secret passed in the environment or, for the remote HTTP endpoint, in an Authorization or x-api-key header; keep it out of shared configs. Each PDF generation consumes one credit, so usage costs money. Template data is sent to the TemplateFox API, and async jobs can post results to a webhook you specify.

Installation

In SourceWeft

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

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

TemplateFox MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the TemplateFox PDF generation API. Generate PDFs from templates directly through AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Installation

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "templatefox": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@templatefox/mcp-server"],      "env": {        "TEMPLATEFOX_API_KEY": "sk_your_api_key_here"      }    }  }}

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add templatefox -- npx -y @templatefox/mcp-server

Then set the environment variable TEMPLATEFOX_API_KEY in your shell.

Cursor / Windsurf

Use the same npx -y @templatefox/mcp-server command in your MCP server configuration, with TEMPLATEFOX_API_KEY in the environment.

Global Install (alternative)

bash
npm install -g @templatefox/mcp-server

Then use templatefox-mcp-server as the command instead of npx.

Configuration

Environment VariableRequiredDescription
TEMPLATEFOX_API_KEYYesYour API key (starts with sk_). Get one at app.templatefox.com/dashboard/api-keys
TEMPLATEFOX_BASE_URLNoOverride API base URL (default: https://api.templatefox.com)

Remote Server (HTTP)

The MCP server also supports HTTP transport via Streamable HTTP, suitable for remote and cloud deployments.

Connect via URL

https://mcp-server-599407781746.us-central1.run.app/mcp

MCP clients must pass the API key via HTTP header:

Authorization: Bearer sk_your_api_key_here

or:

x-api-key: sk_your_api_key_here

Self-host

Run the server in HTTP mode by setting the PORT environment variable:

bash
PORT=8080 TEMPLATEFOX_API_KEY=sk_your_key node dist/index.js

Or with Docker:

bash
docker build -t templatefox-mcp .docker run -p 8080:8080 templatefox-mcp

The MCP endpoint is available at http://localhost:8080/mcp and a health check at http://localhost:8080/health.

Example Usage

Once configured, you can ask your AI assistant:

"List my PDF templates and generate an invoice using the Invoice Template with customer name 'John Doe' and amount 150.00"

The assistant will:

  1. Call list_templates to find available templates
  2. Call get_template_fields to discover required fields
  3. Call generate_pdf with the template ID and data
  4. Return the PDF download URL
