# Designprint

Designprint turns a design into a physical, printed, mailed object. It does two things:

1. **Print from a chat.** A design you authored in the conversation (as HTML or an image) is rendered to a print-ready proof and ordered through a guest checkout. This runs over an MCP server — see "Connect the MCP server" below.
2. **Print a file the user already has.** A finished PDF, or business-card artwork, is uploaded on the website and printed as-is.

Everything ships within the United States. No account is required — checkout is available to guests with just an email address.

## When to use this skill

Use it when the user wants a real, physical print of a design and wants it mailed to them. Examples:

- "Print this and send it to me." (a design made in the chat)
- "Make a 5×7 invitation and have it printed."
- "I have a PDF — can I get it printed and mailed?"
- "Order business cards from this artwork."

Do **not** use it for purely digital/on-screen deliverables (social posts, slideshows, web graphics). Designprint is physical print only.

## Connect the MCP server

The "print from a chat" path is an MCP tool, not a REST call. Connect the remote MCP server, then call its tool.

- **Server URL:** `https://designprint-connector.onrender.com/mcp`
- **Transport:** streamable HTTP
- **Discovery manifest:** https://thedesignprint.com/.well-known/mcp.json
- **No auth** to render a proof and open checkout; payment happens at the guest checkout the tool returns.

### Tool: `print_design`

Renders a print-ready proof of a design and returns an order card (size, quantity, price) plus a guest-checkout link.

Inputs:
- `html` (preferred) — the design's HTML. Author it at the true print size.
- `image_url` — an image of the design, as an alternative to HTML.
- `title` (optional) — a name for the order.
- `width_in`, `height_in` (optional) — print size in inches (e.g. 5 × 7 for an invitation, 3.5 × 2 for a business card).

Output: a proof preview and an order card. The user picks quantity and pays as a guest; Designprint prints and ships it.

### How a human adds the connector in Claude

If the user is in Claude and wants this set up themselves, point them to https://thedesignprint.com/print-from-claude — they open claude.ai/customize/connectors, add a custom connector named `designprint`, paste the connector URL, then type "print this" on any design. Custom connectors require a Claude paid plan (Pro, Max, or Team).

## Print a file the user already has

No MCP needed — these are website flows with guest checkout:

- **Print a PDF:** https://thedesignprint.com/print-pdf — upload a PDF of any length (1 to hundreds of pages). Priced per printed page (lower for black & white, higher for color) × copies, plus shipping. Standard delivery 5–7 business days, express 2–3, overnight next business day.
- **Print business cards:** https://thedesignprint.com/print-business-cards — upload front (and optional back) artwork as PDF, JPG, or PNG at the US standard 3.5 × 2 in trim, 300 DPI. Flat per-card price × quantity, plus shipping. Packs of 100 / 250 / 500 / 1,000 or a custom amount.

## Pricing

- Making a flat file editable in the design tool: **$1.99 per design**, or **$29.99/month** for 30 designs (Studio plan, includes human designer support).
