What can you do with Inkrun MCP?

Generate a PDF from Markdown — Ask your agent to render Markdown content into a themed PDF using the render pipeline.
Email a rendered PDF — Have your agent send a generated PDF directly to an email address with a branded message and 3-day download link.
Apply a template and theme — Instruct your agent to use a specific template, theme, or style override when generating a PDF.
Retrieve a past render — Ask your agent to fetch a previously generated PDF by reading renders back from the API.
Manage templates — Let your agent list or inspect available templates and themes configured in your Inkrun dashboard.

How you authenticate

Inkrun has two credential paths — pick by how you're connecting:

Quotas & rate limits

Renders count against a monthly quota, and API keys have a steady-rate burst guard. Both scale with your plan:

Free	50	1 request / sec
Pro	500	5 requests / sec

Quota is per calendar month (UTC).
