# Generate education images from student data and HTML/CSS templates

Build certificates, report cards, schedules, and learning materials once, then render each version with named student and course values.

## Key capabilities

- HTML and CSS layouts
- Reusable assets and settings
- Versioned template IDs

## Create templates with HTML and CSS

Create a template through the API and store its HTML, CSS, fonts, images, dimensions, browser settings, and output options. Image requests then send the template ID and named values instead of the full layout.

## Publish changes as new versions

Updating an API template publishes another version under the same ID. Render the latest version or choose a specific version without changing the template's named values.

Render a published template by sending its named values to `POST https://hcti.io/v1/image/{template_id}`. The response includes the generated image ID and hosted URL.

## MCP Integration

Connect an MCP-compatible client to `https://mcp.hcti.io` with OAuth. The tools use the connected organization's HTML/CSS to Image account, permissions, and plan limits.

- The `list_templates` tool returns the organization's available templates and their IDs.
- The `list_template_versions` tool returns the saved versions for a selected template.
- The `create_templated_image` tool renders a template with the named values supplied by the client.
- The `create_template` tool creates an HTML/CSS API template. The `update_template` tool publishes a new version under an existing template ID.
