Review and pay in ShopifyIn short
InkFE is a US print shop. InkFE for AI agents is its public connector for AI assistants, built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Once it's connected, you can ask your assistant to make business cards, check proofs of both sides, approve them and pay on InkFE's Shopify checkout, without opening a design tool.
https://www.inkfe.com/api/mcp (listed on the MCP Registry as com.inkfe/print)Where this is going
Your assistant already knows your brand, your calendar and your customers. InkFE gives it a print shop. The same design, proof, approval and order core that runs business cards today is built to carry anything we make.
Items marked “Coming next” are planned and not available yet. We'll mark each one live when it is verified.
Pick a designer-made template, see both sides, approve and check out without leaving the chat. This is live today for anyone in the US.
Postcards, flyers, greeting cards, table tents, fine-art prints, feather flags and full event tents, all through the same design, proof and approval flow.
Ask the image tools built into your assistant for a poster, a pattern or an illustration, and send the result straight to InkFE to proof and print at full size.
Assistants that can reach your files hand over a finished logo, PDF or photo directly. No download, no re-upload, no email attachments.
Give your assistant a list of addresses. InkFE prints a personalized postcard for each one and drops them in the mail, so a campaign is one message.
Pay where you talk as AI apps open native checkout to custom-printed products. Until then, a secure Shopify checkout is one tap away.
“Same cards as last time, 500 more.” Your saved designs live in your InkFE account and come back on request.
“Where are my flyers?” Production and shipping status answered in the same conversation that placed the order.
Imagine asking
A realtor
“Mail a ‘just listed’ postcard with this photo to the 200 homes around 14 Oak Street.”
One proof to approve, 200 personalized postcards printed and mailed.
An event planner
“Put our logo on a 10×10 tent and two feather flags for Saturday’s market.”
Every side of the tent proofed together, one checkout for the whole kit.
A new founder
“Design a launch-party poster in our colors and print 50 of them.”
Artwork made by the assistant’s image tools, proofed at print size by InkFE.
An office manager
“Three new hires start Monday. Same cards as Priya’s, with their details.”
Three proofs from the house design, approved in one reply.
Example requests showing where InkFE is headed. Today the connector designs and orders business cards; the rest is coming next.
Why we built it
AI apps can already find a printer and quote a price. Then the conversation ends with a link and a to-do: open a design tool, retype everything, pick options, upload a file and hope it prints right.
Custom print is hard for agents because the artwork has to survive the trip to production. Today’s built-in AI checkouts don’t support personalized products at all. InkFE built the missing piece: a connector that owns the design, the proof, the approval and the order.
How it works
Tell your AI app what you need in plain words. It browses InkFE templates and products and asks only for what's missing. No account needed to start.
InkFE places your details, logo or QR code into a designer-made template and fits the text to the printable area.
You see both sides as real print renders, right in the chat. Ask for changes and you get a fresh revision to review.
Nothing moves until you approve the exact artwork and print options, backed by a live quote that holds for 10 minutes.
You get a Shopify checkout with the print-ready file attached to the order. Review shipping, tax and the final total, then pay. Ships within the US.
Why it’s different
Most AI shopping stops at a product page, and built-in AI checkouts don't support custom-printed products yet. InkFE carries your approved artwork all the way to a Shopify order. We proved it with a real paid order whose file matched the approved proof exactly.
Your agent must show both sides and get your explicit yes. Change anything and it's a new version needing a new yes. Approving artwork is always separate from paying for it.
No AI-generated guesswork. Your details go into layouts made by designers, with typography fitted to real trim and safe areas.
Built on the open Model Context Protocol and listed on the official MCP Registry, so the same InkFE connection works in Claude and Muse today, with more apps being verified.
Available today
Anyone in the United States can design and order InkFE Essential business cards end to end. Agents can browse the full catalog and link you to anything else.
Five Classic business-card layouts, landscape and portrait, with room for your logo and a QR code.
Every line is fitted to the printable area. If a long title has to shrink, your agent tells you before you approve.
Front and back render as images in the conversation, the same artwork that goes to production.
Change a title or phone number and get a new version to review. Earlier approvals never carry over to changed artwork.
Pack prices come straight from the InkFE store, the same as inkfe.com. Unknown charges are called out, never guessed.
Your approved, print-ready artwork rides on the order line item into production. Nothing to re-upload.
Design and check out as a guest. Sign in with InkFE when you want to keep a design in your account, and disconnect an app at any time.
Agents can browse InkFE products and options and send you to the right product page for anything they can't design yet.
Live templates
Built for trust
An agent acting on your behalf needs hard limits. InkFE enforces them on the server, so they hold no matter which AI app you use.
If a size, corner or quantity isn't available, your agent has to ask you. It can't quietly pick something else.
Quotes expire after 10 minutes. If a price changes, you confirm the new terms before checkout.
One approval maps to one purchase. A dropped connection or retry recovers the same cart instead of creating another.
The name on the card may be a new hire. Your agent asks for the checkout email instead of guessing from the artwork.
Card details never enter the chat. You review shipping, tax and the final total on Shopify's checkout.
Each AI app gets a revocable grant, never your password. Remove it from your InkFE AI connections page.
