printify

printify_calculate_shipping

Get a shipping price quote for a set of line items to a destination address. Non-destructive — it only prices, it does NOT place an order. `line_items` is an array where each item is one of {product_id, variant_id, quantity}, {print_provider_id, blueprint_id, variant_id, quantity}, or {sku, quantity}. `address_to` is the destination (first_name, last_name, email, phone, country, region, address1, address2, city, zip, company). Printify REST: POST /v1/shops/{shop_id}/orders/shipping.json.

printify_get_blueprint

Get a single catalog blueprint's details. Printify REST: GET /v1/catalog/blueprints/{blueprint_id}.json.

printify_get_order

Get a single order's full details, including `shipments` (carrier + tracking numbers). Printify REST: GET /v1/shops/{shop_id}/orders/{order_id}.json.

printify_get_print_providers

List the print providers that can produce a given blueprint. Printify REST: GET /v1/catalog/blueprints/{blueprint_id}/print_providers.json.

printify_get_product

Get a single product's full details (variants, images, print areas, publish status). Printify REST: GET /v1/shops/{shop_id}/products/{product_id}.json.

printify_get_variants

List the variants (sizes, colors) a print provider offers for a blueprint. Printify REST: GET /v1/catalog/blueprints/{blueprint_id}/print_providers/{print_provider_id}/variants.json.

printify_list_catalog_blueprints

List all blueprints (product types, e.g. 'Unisex T-Shirt') available in the Printify catalog. Printify REST: GET /v1/catalog/blueprints.json.

printify_list_orders

List orders in a shop (paginated), optionally filtered by status or SKU. Printify REST: GET /v1/shops/{shop_id}/orders.json.

printify_list_print_providers

List all print providers in the Printify catalog. Printify REST: GET /v1/catalog/print_providers.json.

printify_list_products

List products in a shop (paginated). Printify REST: GET /v1/shops/{shop_id}/products.json.

printify_list_shops

List all shops connected to the Printify account. This is the entry point — each shop's `id` is required by the product, order and webhook tools. Printify REST: GET /v1/shops.json.

printify_list_uploads

List images uploaded to the account's media library (paginated). Printify REST: GET /v1/uploads.json.

printify_list_webhooks

List the webhooks configured for a shop. Printify REST: GET /v1/shops/{shop_id}/webhooks.json.

printify_publish_product

Publish a product to the shop's connected sales channel (e.g. Shopify, Etsy). STATE-CHANGING: this locks the product and pushes the selected fields to the external store. The body is an object of booleans controlling which fields are published; all default to true. Printify REST: POST /v1/shops/{shop_id}/products/{product_id}/publish.json.

Printify — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Printify do?

It exposes 14 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: printify_calculate_shipping, printify_get_blueprint, printify_get_order, printify_get_print_providers, printify_get_product, printify_get_variants and 8 more. 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 Printify working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 31 of 91 checks got a reply (34.1%), average response time 200 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Printify as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Printify?

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

Does Printify need an API key?

No. Printify completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 14 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Printify?

It answers our handshake in 200 ms on average, which is faster than 63% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Printify open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
