Allows publishing print-on-demand products to a Shopify storefront, integrating Printify product creation with Shopify.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@printify_mcp Create a poster from my uploaded artwork using the poster_matte_2x3 template."
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
A small, purpose-built MCP server that lets Claude create and publish print-on-demand products on Printify from reusable SKU templates.
The whole idea: you never hand-assemble Printify's 200-line product JSON.
Claude calls create_from_template with ~5 fields and the server expands it.
cd printify-mcp
pip install -r requirements.txtRelated MCP server: printify-mcp
Create your token at: Printify → Account → Connections → API → Generate.

Tool | What it does |
| List connected shops (id, title, channel) |
| Show available SKU templates + artwork spec |
| Upload a PNG from a public URL → image_id |
| Upload a PNG from a local file (base64) → image_id |
| Core. Make one product from a template (draft) |
| Make many products from already-uploaded images (paced) |
| List local image files in a folder, without uploading |
| Upload local files and create products in one call (paced) |
| Push a product to the connected storefront |
| Verify a product |
| For adding new SKU templates |
Claude generates artwork → gets a public PNG URL (or saves a local file)
upload_artwork(url, "Yosemite.png") or upload_artwork_file(path, "Yosemite.png") → image_id
create_from_template("poster_matte_2x3", image_id, title, desc, tags) → draft
Review with get_product
publish_product(product_id) when ready
batch_create chains step 3 for a list of already-uploaded designs.
scan_folder + batch_from_folder chain steps 2–3 for a whole folder of local files.

Full spec per template (finish options, decoration method, placeholder transform,
style notes) lives in the TEMPLATES dict in server.py.
Create ONE product of that type manually in Printify, enable only the variants you want, save as draft.
GET its JSON:
curl.exe -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
"https://api.printify.com/v1/shops/SHOP_ID/products/PRODUCT_ID.json" > sku.jsonFrom the JSON, copy: blueprint_id, print_provider_id, the enabled
variant ids, and the print_areas[0].placeholders[0].images[0]
transform (x, y, scale, angle).
Add an entry to TEMPLATES in server.py following the poster example.
Restart the server.
Prices are in cents (2900 = $29.00).
Products are created as drafts (unpublished). Nothing goes live until
you call publish_product.
publish_product only works against a real connected storefront
(Shopify), not the API custom_integration placeholder shop. Connect
Sunfade Co in Printify → Add store → Shopify first.
Rate limits: global 600 req/min; publish 200/30min. batch_create paces
at ~1/sec, well under both. 429s are retried with backoff automatically.
Base costs shown are Free-plan. Printify Premium (~20% off) improves margins.
