What you can do
- Designs: create templates at a print size with bleed and a safe area, add text, images, shapes, QR codes and calendars, and look at the result.
- Graphics, fonts and colours: upload images and SVGs, import Google fonts, and set up palettes.
- Products: choose which designs each store product opens, and make editor links to share a design.
- Projects: find your customers’ saved designs and their print files.
Before you start
Create a secret key in your admin under Secret keys, labelled for the tool you connect. Revoking it later disconnects that tool.ChatGPT
- Add the server: turn on developer mode and add a custom MCP server (OpenAI’s guide shows where, for your plan). Name it Print.App, use the URL
https://api.print.app/mcpand choose OAuth authentication. - Connect: ChatGPT opens a Print.App page. Paste your secret key and click Allow access.
- Test: ask “Which Print.App store am I connected to?”
Claude
- Add the server: in Claude (web or desktop), open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector. Name it Print.App and use the URL
https://api.print.app/mcp. - Connect: click Connect. Paste your secret key on the Print.App page and click Allow access.
- Test: ask “Which Print.App store am I connected to?”
Claude Code
-
Add the server:
-
Check it: run
/mcpin Claude Code;printappshows as connected. - Test: ask “Which Print.App store am I connected to?”
Codex
-
Add the server to
~/.codex/config.toml: -
Set the key in your shell profile:
export PRINTAPP_SECRET_KEY=sk_… - Test: start Codex and ask “Which Print.App store am I connected to?”
Cursor
-
Add the server to
~/.cursor/mcp.json(your global settings, so the key never lands in a project): -
Check it in Cursor’s MCP settings:
printappshows its tools. - Test: ask “Which Print.App store am I connected to?”
VS Code
-
Add the server to
.vscode/mcp.json. VS Code asks for the key when it starts the server, so the file holds no secret: -
Start it: run MCP: List Servers, choose
printapp, start it and paste your key. - Test: in chat (agent mode), ask “Which Print.App store am I connected to?”
Other MCP clients
Any client that supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP can connect, either way:- Sign in (OAuth): the client finds the sign-in on its own. Its redirect URI must be an
httpsaddress. - Send the key: as the header
Authorization: Bearer sk_….
