# MCP Tools Reference

## Overview

Peedief offers MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools alongside direct API access. The MCP tools enable AI agents to generate documents through natural conversation, while the direct API provides programmatic control for developers.

## How It Works

### 1. MCP Integration

AI agents (like Claude Desktop) connect to the Peedief MCP server to access document generation capabilities.

### 2. Natural Language Interface

Users interact with AI agents using natural language to request document generation:

```
User: "Create a certificate for John Smith completing Python course"
AI: [Uses Peedief MCP tool to generate professional certificate]
```

### 3. Template-Based Generation

The MCP tools use pre-built professional templates to generate documents:

* **Certificates**: Course completion, training, achievements
* **Invoices**: Professional billing with calculations
* **Reports**: Business reports with data and charts
* **Letters**: Business correspondence and legal documents

## Available MCP Tools

### Document Generation Tool

* **Function**: Generate PDFs from your custom templates and structured data
* **Input**: Your template ID and document data
* **Output**: Professional PDF download link

### Template Management

* **Requirement**: Users must create templates in Peedief dashboard first
* **Template IDs**: Each template gets a unique ID for MCP tool usage
* **Custom Design**: Templates use your own layouts, branding, and formatting

## Alternative Integration Methods

<Info>
  While MCP tools provide an intuitive AI-powered interface, Peedief also offers direct REST APIs for traditional programmatic integration. Choose the method that best fits your workflow:

  * **MCP Tools**: For AI-powered document generation through conversation
  * **REST API**: For direct programmatic control and automation
