# MintRender

> MintRender turns a template plus data into a finished image (PNG, JPEG, WebP, SVG) or PDF, through an API, signed image links, bulk jobs from a CSV, no-code tools and an MCP server for AI assistants.

- 1 image or 1 PDF page = 1 credit. The same template version and the same data again gives the same file, at no cost (`cached: true`).
- Auth: `Authorization: Bearer mr_live_…` (or `mr_test_…`: watermark, no cost). Base URL: https://mintrender.com/v1
- Errors are JSON: `{"error": {"code", "message", "field", "request_id"}}`; `field` names the bad value, like `data.title.color`.
- Formats: PNG, JPEG, WebP, SVG and PDF from one template. PDF text is real text: people can select, copy and search it.
- No code needed: design in the browser editor, then fill the template from n8n, Make, a CSV file, a Google Sheet, or Claude and ChatGPT over MCP.
- Previews, repeats of the same file, test keys and failed renders cost no credits.
