Available tools 5

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

poster

create_poster_checkout

Validate every detail and create a Shopify checkout for one personalised poster with all the details attached. Returns checkout_url. Nothing is charged: open checkout_url for the user to review the order and pay on GiftsToPrint's own checkout. Before calling, read the details back to the user, including the photo_url so they can check it is the right photo, and confirm they understand they will receive a digital file to print (set confirm_digital_file to true). If a field is wrong, the error lists every problem at once so you can fix them in one go.

get_poster_form

List exactly what to collect from the user for one poster: names, dates, optional message, and the photo, plus the turnaround options and prices. Ask the user for anything you don't already know. Don't invent names or dates. Next step: upload_photo, then create_poster_checkout.

photo

get_photo_upload_link

Create a private web page where the user can upload the poster photo from their phone or computer. Use this whenever you can't pass the user's photo to upload_photo yourself: they have no link to it, they want to pick it from their device, or a photo they attached in the chat can't be sent on. Give the user upload_page and ask them to tell you once it's uploaded, then call upload_photo with upload_id to get the photo_url. The link works for 7 days.

posters

find_posters

Search GiftsToPrint's personalised newspaper-style posters. Each poster shows real headlines and events from one year, personalised with a name, photo and message, and is delivered as a print-ready digital file (nothing is posted). Birthday posters and wedding-anniversary posters exist per milestone and edition (e.g. 60th Birthday, Australian edition, 1966); retirement and dating-anniversary posters cover any year, chosen in the form. Pick the edition by where the recipient lives or grew up (US, UK, Canada or Australia). Returns each matching poster's handle, prices and product page. Next step: get_poster_form.

upload

upload_photo

Store the photo that will be printed on the poster, and return the photo_url to pass to create_poster_checkout. Only use a photo the user has given in THIS conversation. Never reuse a photo or link from memory or an earlier conversation, and never use a product or poster image. If the user hasn't given a photo yet, ask them for one instead of calling this. Give exactly one of: photo (a file the user attached in this chat), image_url (a public https link to the image), image_base64, or upload_id (from get_photo_upload_link, once the user says they've uploaded). If you can't send the user's photo any of these ways, call get_photo_upload_link instead of asking the user for a link. JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 20MB. Photos are kept for 12 months so the poster can be made and revised, then deleted automatically.

GiftsToPrint — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can GiftsToPrint do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_poster_checkout, find_posters, get_photo_upload_link, get_poster_form, upload_photo. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is GiftsToPrint working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 134 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect GiftsToPrint?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does GiftsToPrint need an API key?

No. GiftsToPrint completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is GiftsToPrint?

It answers our handshake in 134 ms on average, which is faster than 86% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
