Questions
What is the InkChamps MCP server?
It is a Model Context Protocol server that lets an AI agent such as Claude, Cursor or Codex create InkChamps books for you. You describe the book in chat; the agent places the order and hands you the print-ready PDF when it is done.
How do I get an API key?
Sign in to InkChamps and open Settings → MCP integrations. Create a key and copy it straight away: it is shown only once. You can have up to ten keys and revoke any of them at any time.
What does it cost?
Books ordered through MCP cost the same credits as books ordered on the website, and they come out of the same balance. Your agent can call get_credits to quote a book before ordering it.
Which transport does it use?
Streamable HTTP. There is nothing to install: point your client at the server URL and send your key in the Authorization header.
Are the books ready for Amazon KDP?
Yes. Books come out as print-ready PDFs at KDP trim sizes, and create_cover_photo makes a full paperback cover sized for your page count.
Prefer the website?
Everything the MCP server makes, you can also make on InkChamps directly.
