Connect Claude & ChatGPT to APITemplate.io

Ask your AI to fill your invoice template with this month's data, turn a Markdown report into a PDF, or save a web page as a PDF. It can list and read your templates, generate PDFs and images from them, create PDFs from HTML, Markdown or a URL, merge PDFs, and list or delete generated files in APITemplate.io. Documents get made from a sentence instead of a script.

Try asking

  • “Which templates do I have?”

    The AI lists your PDF and image templates with their IDs.

  • “Make a PDF from my invoice template for Acme, 3 items, due 30 October.”

    It reads the template's placeholders and generates a PDF with your data. It returns a download URL.

  • “Turn this Markdown meeting summary into a PDF.”

    It generates a PDF from the Markdown, with optional CSS and page settings.

Questions

What can the AI do in APITemplate.io?

It can list and read your templates, generate PDFs and images from templates, create PDFs from HTML, Markdown or a URL, and merge PDFs. It can also list generated files, delete a generated file, and read your account details and usage.

Does the AI see my APITemplate.io credentials?

No. Your APITemplate.io credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, for example generating PDFs without deleting files. Deleting a generated file is permanent, so it can require your approval before it runs. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own APITemplate.io account.

Do I need a template to create a PDF?

No. The AI can fill one of your templates, but it can also create a PDF directly from HTML, from Markdown or from a web page URL. Images are generated from image templates, so for images you need one set up in APITemplate.io.
