MCP support

The hosted MCP server exposes template, document generation, batch, credit, and session tools to MCP-compatible assistants. Authenticated tools use a generated MCP URL; walk-in tools are available through a public URL and support payment per session.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
"mcpServers": {
"ayo-nci-bulkrender": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"bulkrender-mcp"

}
}
}
}
Run commandnpx -y bulkrender-mcp
Environment variables to set
BULKRENDER_API_URLBulkRender API base URL. Defaults to https://api.bulkrender.com — only set for local development.

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Batch generation:

"Generate invoices for these 3 clients: Acme Corp ($5,000), Beta Inc ($3,200), Gamma LLC ($7,800)"


Troubleshooting

ProblemSolution
Server not connectingRegenerate your MCP URL from Settings, Integrations
Template not foundUse list_templates to get the correct UUID
Timeout on large batchBatches over 10 records process async — poll get_batch_status
429 Too Many RequestsRate limit hit — retry after a short pause

Rate limits

EndpointLimit
Document generation30 requests / minute per organisation
Template reads, credits30 requests / minute per organisation

generate_batch counts as one request regardless of record count.

Migrating from the npm package

The standalone npm package (npx bulkrender-mcp with BULKRENDER_API_KEY) is no longer supported. Use the hosted MCP URL instead — no install, no env vars, just paste the URL from your dashboard.

If you have the old config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bulkrender": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "bulkrender-mcp"],
      "env": { "BULKRENDER_API_KEY": "br_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Replace it with:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bulkrender": {
      "url": "YOUR_MCP_URL"
    }
  }
}

Get your MCP URL from Settings, Integrations, AI Assistants (MCP) in your BulkRender dashboard.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
