# Robolly > Robolly renders templates designed in its visual editor into JPG, PNG, WebP, single and multi-page PDF, MP4 and WebM files, through an on-demand REST API, signed render links, no-code integrations and a remote MCP server. - Canonical: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/robolly - Pricing: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/robolly#pricing - Reviews: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/robolly#reviews - Markdown: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/robolly.md (~6,150 tokens) - Slim: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/robolly.min.md (~1,430 tokens, same facts, less prose, for token-sensitive contexts) - JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/robolly.json (this page as data, same URL with Accept: application/json) - Site index for agents: https://www.anchorterminal.com/llms.txt (the key docs and every listing in one file, at most 16 MB, about 4 million tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/llms-full.txt) - API: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/index.json - MCP: https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (the whole catalogue as tools, no key) - DNS: dig +short TXT robolly.grade.anchorterminal.com (the grade as a DNS TXT record, for a sandbox with no HTTP where names still resolve; also top., best.. and .vs.. under the zone, and the same under grade.letme.dev) - Licence: CC BY 4.0, credit Anchor Terminal and link this page (https://www.anchorterminal.com/terms/#data) - Updated: 2026-11-07 ## Overview **Grade D · 48.4/100 · rank #1115 of 1486 · #11 in Programmatic asset production · not agent-ready · confidence medium** ## Assessment Robolly's nine MCP tools, synchronous renders, typed error codes and free cached re-renders keep template rendering cheap and predictable for an agent, and OAuth connections can be revoked per client. There is no OpenAPI file, changelog or dated release, and API access starts at $39 a month after a 7-day trial. ## Facts | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Vendor | Avantis Innovations LLC (Robolly) (https://robolly.com) | | Kind | HTTP API | | Category | Programmatic asset production (https://www.anchorterminal.com/categories/design-assets) | | Transport | HTTP, Streamable HTTP | | Endpoint | `https://api.robolly.com/v1` | | Auth | OAuth or key · API key from Account settings, sent as `Authorization: Bearer`; render links can instead carry a signature. The remote MCP server at api.robolly.com/mcp uses OAuth with one `robolly:mcp` scope, where the user picks the organisation it may reach, and connections are listed and revoked under Account settings > Connected AI Tools. The API key works as a fallback bearer token. No key scopes documented. | | Pricing | Paid ($39 / mo) · Individual $39 a month (250 or 1,000 render credits), Business $129 a month (10,000 to 500,000 credits by tier), Enterprise custom above 1,000,000. 7-day trial with no card. 1 credit for a JPG or WebP under 2,000 px, 3 for PNG, more for larger sizes, PDFs and video. Identical re-renders within 45 days are free. | | x402 | No · Monthly plans with render credits. No x402, MPP or L402 in the API reference, the MCP page, llms.txt or pricing (checked 2026-11-06).

Confidence: medium. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. "This run" is each category's share of the 100 points. | Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% | 20 | 48 | 9.6 | | Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a | | Schema & documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 57 | 9.3 | | Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 75 | 12.2 | | Security & auth | 14% | 17.5 | 47 | 8.2 | | Payments & pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 35 | 4.4 | | Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a | | Maintenance & community | 7% | 8.8 | 5 | 0.4 | | Transparency & trust (editorial 27, provenance 71) | 7% | 8.8 | 49 | 4.3 | | Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 | | **Total** | | | | **48.4 → D** | ### Why each score - Reliability 48 (checked 2026-11-06): Hosted lines. The footer links an UptimeRobot status page, but it loads its figures from /api/, which stats.uptimerobot.com's robots.txt disallows, so the page showed no monitors or history (10 of 20 for a page that exists) and no history was read (5). A hard limit of 3 renders a second is published (15). The `rate-limit` error code and advice to send renders one at a time, and identical renders are cached for 45 days at no cost, which makes a retry safe; there's no Retry-After or backoff interval (8 of 15). No SLA found (0). The API isn't labelled beta (10). 10 + 5 + 15 + 8 + 0 + 10 = 48. - Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes. - Schema & documentation 57 (checked 2026-11-06): No OpenAPI or other machine-readable contract found for the REST API, and the MCP server is closed. The MCP page lists all nine tools and `get_template_modifications` returns each template's keys, constraints and examples at run time (8 of 25, on that partial evidence). llms.txt indexes the docs (10). The MCP page says what each tool does, which tools change templates or spend credits, and that there is no delete tool (14 of 20). Modification keys follow `{element-name}.{modification-key}` with constraints from the template rather than a fixed schema (7 of 15). Request examples throughout and an error code table with eight codes (13 of 15). /v1 paths with no changelog (5 of 15). 8 + 10 + 14 + 7 + 13 + 5 = 57. - Agent ergonomics 75 (checked 2026-11-06): Nine MCP tools (25). The renders list pages with a cursor, and templates are found by name (14 of 20). Errors carry `errorCode` and `developerMessage` with eight documented codes (17 of 20). Identical renders are cached for 45 days, so repeats are free and safe, the MCP server has no delete tool, and annotations couldn't be read on the closed server (12 of 20). Renders return the file synchronously by default, but there's no SDK (7 of 15). 25 + 14 + 17 + 12 + 7 = 75. - Security & auth 47 (checked 2026-11-06): Bearer API key, signed render links, and MCP OAuth with one `robolly:mcp` scope limited to the organisation the user approves. Connections are listed and revoked under Connected AI Tools, and the API key is never shared with an OAuth client. No key scopes or rotation documented (22 of 30). The MCP server can create and update templates but not delete them; there's no read-only mode (10 of 20). Tools return the user's templates and public gallery designs (10 of 15). A renders list and the connected-tools view give some visibility, with no audit log documented (5 of 15). No security.txt (the path returns the site's HTML shell), disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification (0). 22 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 0 = 47. - Payments & pricing 35 (checked 2026-11-06): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Plan prices are public and a table gives the credit cost of each format and size (15 of 20). 7-day trial with no card (20). A person signs up, then copies the key or approves OAuth (0). 0 + 15 + 20 + 0 = 35. - Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored. - Maintenance & community 5 (checked 2026-11-06): No changelog, release notes or dated API change was found. The sitemap marks every docs page as modified on 4 November 2026, which reads as a site rebuild rather than a change, so it isn't counted (0). No dated changes since 8 August (0). Support by email, with chat on higher plans; not tested (5 of 15). Not in the official MCP registry and no SDKs (0). No public package or repository (0). 0 + 0 + 5 + 0 + 0 = 5. - Transparency & trust 49 (checked 2026-11-06): Closed service under terms effective 8 April 2026 from Avantis Innovations LLC in Wyoming. The terms can change without notice (15). The privacy policy of the same date covers Google sign-in and Sheets data, says spreadsheet rows aren't kept beyond a render and account data is deleted with the account, and otherwise names no periods (10 of 30). No deprecation policy or notices (0). Hosting is described only as third-party vendors, with no processors or locations named, while the footer says Made in EU (2 of 20). 15 + 10 + 0 + 2 = 27. Fix list, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (16 items). What it covers is at https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/robolly.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/robolly.json). The whole list for a coding agent comes from `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/fix-list` with `{"listing": "robolly", "plan": "read"}`, free while the beta runs ### What we couldn't check - unchecked: status history, because the UptimeRobot page loads its data from a path its robots.txt disallows. - When the MCP server launched or last changed: no dated record was found. - Prices for credit tiers between the plan minimums: the pricing page lists tiers without every price. ### Sources - API reference, rate limits and error codes: (seen 2026-11-06) - MCP integration page and tools: (seen 2026-11-06) - render credits: (seen 2026-11-06) - llms.txt: (seen 2026-11-06) - pricing: (seen 2026-11-06) - terms of use: (seen 2026-11-06) - privacy policy: (seen 2026-11-06) - MCP protected-resource metadata: (seen 2026-11-06) - status page (no data readable): (seen 2026-11-06) - official MCP registry search (no entry): (seen 2026-11-06) ## Score history Every move of a score since the listing was graded, newest first, with its cause.

The terms (8 April 2026) name Avantis Innovations LLC of Sheridan, Wyoming, and say Robolly is brought by the team behind Sidemail.io and EmailSupportAI. Sidemail's terms name the same Avantis Innovations LLC, and Sidemail's about page, read 6 November 2026, quotes Patrik & Kristyna, Sidemail founders, gives no surnames and says the company is 100% bootstrapped, so the two are listed as founders and no investors are listed. Neither site links a personal account. Sidemail's about page calls Patrik and Kristyna Sidemail's founders; no page calls them Robolly's, so neither is marked founder. ### Getting support - Support email: support@robolly.com - Help: https://robolly.com/docs/api-reference/ - Help: https://stats.uptimerobot.com/gpPQWiyqL - Sources: https://robolly.com/terms/, https://robolly.com/privacy/, https://robolly.com/docs/api-reference/, https://sidemail.io/about/, https://sidemail.io/legal/terms-of-service/, https://robolly.com/press/ ## Live (updated 2026-11-07 17:50 UTC) - Right now: up, HTTP 404, 203 ms, checked 2026-11-07 17:50 UTC (get on `https://api.robolly.com/v1`) - Uptime 24h 100.0% (195 probes) · 30 days 100.0% (195 probes) · p50 111 ms · p95 182 ms - Vendor status page: not read, no machine-readable status found - security.txt: none - Watching privacy - Watching terms - Tools: the endpoint asks for credentials before listing them (checked 2026-11-07 01:47 UTC) - Always current: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/live/robolly.json ## Probe metrics Not measured yet. Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. Live uptime, where we poll the endpoint, is under Live and doesn't change the score. ## Prices | Item | Price | Unit | Note | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Individual plan | $39 | per month (plan) | From 250 render credits a month; more credits cost more | | Business plan | $129 | per month (plan) | From 10,000 render credits a month | Across all listings: https://www.anchorterminal.com/prices/index.md ## Strengths - Nine compact MCP tools, including one that lists each template's accepted keys and constraints - Error responses carry `errorCode` slugs, among them `rate-limit` and `render-limit-exhausted` - Identical re-renders within 45 days are served free from cache - MCP OAuth limited to one organisation, with connections revoked in Account settings - Published rate limit of 3 renders a second and a credit table by format and size ## Weaknesses - No OpenAPI or other machine-readable contract found - No changelog or dated release found, and the MCP server isn't in the official registry - API access needs a paid plan from $39 a month after a 7-day trial - The UptimeRobot status page draws its data from a path its robots.txt closes to us - The privacy policy names no hosting or other processors ## Before you call it (notes for agents) 1. Call `get_template_modifications` before `render` to learn the keys a template accepts 2. Send renders one at a time; the API refuses more than 3 a second with `rate-limit` 3. Repeat an identical render freely; it is cached for 45 days and costs nothing 4. Poll `get_render` after `render_video`, since video renders are queued 5. Stop on `render-limit-exhausted` and tell the user the monthly credits are spent ## Connect Claude Code: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http robolly --scope user https://api.robolly.com/mcp ``` MCP client configuration: ```json { "mcpServers": { "robolly": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.robolly.com/mcp" } } } ``` Through letme: https://letme.dev/robolly. letme answers with the pick and how to call it direct.
