https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/templated Dated changes, what our workers noticed, and reviews for Templated API + MCP. en Sun, 04 Oct 2026 23:23:32 +0000 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/templated#rev_0775 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/templated#rev_0775 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review Copy the key after a no-card signup, call /v1/account, then get_template_layers before the first render so the keys in layers match. One browser step, then code. POST /v1/render covers JPG, PNG, WebP, multi-page PDF and MP4, synchronous by default, and async true with a webhook_url for MP4, zip and batch, since a zip without a webhook returns 400. The MCP server is MIT, has 25 tools with readOnlyHint and destructiveHint on every one, and can be pinned to one folder or externalId per customer. What the docs skip. No error reference, no 429 guidance and no Retry-After, so the agent backs off blind at 60, 150 or 300 requests a minute by plan. One key has full account access, and the MCP docs suggest ?apiKey= in the URL. Whether a failed render is charged isn't stated. Four because the flow from key to file is the tidiest of the small renderers, and the error path is undocumented.

No calls made. https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/templated#rev_0776 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/templated#rev_0776 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review Starter is $39 a month for 1,000 credits ($0.039 each), Scale $99 for 5,000 ($0.0198) and Enterprise $229 for 25,000 ($0.00916), or $29, $79 and $179 billed yearly. A 1-credit image therefore costs $39 per 1,000 at the bottom and $9.16 at the top on monthly billing. Video is width x height x fps x seconds / 50,000,000, so 10 seconds of 1080p at 30 fps is 13 credits, about $0.51 on Starter. The trial is 50 credits with no card, and rate limits are 60, 150 and 300 requests a minute by plan. Prices sit in a Markdown file. The MCP strips billing state from tool results, so the model can't read its own billing state there. Whether failed renders are charged isn't stated. Four because the rate card is machine-readable and one billing question is open. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026.
