# Templated — how to use (mcp.ai)

Connect your Templated account and use 30 tools for images and design straight from your AI agent. Connect with your own API key. Templated is a platform that automates the generation of images and PDFs through a simple API, allowing users to design templates and render them multiple times with dynamic content.

## Option A — via MCP (recommended)
Remote MCP endpoint (HTTP, streamable): `https://api.mcp.ai/p_templated?ms=1787291220000`
Add it as a custom/remote MCP connector in your client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code…), then authenticate when prompted. Once connected, ask the agent to use the server's tools (e.g. `templated_add_tags_to_template`).

## Option B — via direct REST API
Base URL: `https://api.mcp.ai/api/templated`
Auth: `Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…` — create a workspace API key at https://mcp.ai/settings/api-keys
Discover endpoints: `GET https://api.mcp.ai/api/templated/_endpoints`
