# Give agents a predictable way to generate images

Expose a small set of named values instead of asking an agent to create a layout. The template keeps typography, spacing, dimensions, and branding consistent.

## Key capabilities

- Reusable designs
- Consistent image output
- One-request rendering

## Build a template once, then reuse it

Every template renders the same way: send its ID and named values to the image API. Build the design with [HTML and CSS through the template API](https://htmlcsstoimage.com/features/api-templates-for-ai.md), or [use blocks in the visual template editor](https://htmlcsstoimage.com/features/template-editor-for-ai.md).

## Change the content, not the layout

Use one template for Open Graph and social cards, product images, personalized graphics, and recurring reports. Each request changes only the named text, images, colors, or other values while the saved design keeps its layout and dimensions.

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 either template type with the named values supplied by the client.
- The `create_template` and `update_template` tools work with HTML/CSS API templates. Block-based designs are changed in the visual editor.

### Content variation

## Get started

REST API requests require an HTML/CSS to Image account and should be authenticated from trusted application code. Check the API docs and pricing for current setup instructions, limits, and feature availability.
