## Description

The Mustache Template Engine MCP lets your agent generate structured text like emails and invoices from JSON data. Instead of letting your agent struggle with manual string concatenation, you can provide a standardized Mustache template that defines the layout. This keeps the output consistent and prevents broken tags or missing variables from ruining your documents. Because it's logic-less, you don't have to worry about your agent trying to run complex code inside the template; it just maps data to slots. It's a reliable way to handle repetitive tasks like building notifications or generating custom invoices without the mess of joined sentences. You'll find it's a solid choice in the Vinkius catalog for anyone who needs high-quality, predictable text generation across different platforms.

## Tools

### render_mustache
Takes a template and JSON data to produce a rendered string. It handles all the escaping and section logic for you.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Render this welcome email template with the new user's data: name, email, and activation link.
```

**Response:** 
```
HTML email rendered with all {{name}}, {{email}}, {{activationLink}} placeholders replaced.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Generate an invoice PDF body with line items, subtotal, tax, and total from this JSON order.
```

**Response:** 
```
Invoice template rendered with itemized list, calculated totals, and formatted currency.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Create a Slack notification message from this alert template and the monitoring event data.
```

**Response:** 
```
Slack message rendered with severity, service name, error message, and timestamp.
```

## Capabilities

### Render HTML emails
Turn JSON data into formatted HTML emails using pre-defined layouts.

### Generate structured invoices
Map order items and totals into a professional invoice body.

### Build dynamic notifications
Create consistent Slack or system alerts from monitoring data.

### Map data to template sections
Use sections and partials to handle list iteration and conditional content.

### Standardize document bodies
Ensure all generated text follows a universal spec across different environments.

## Use Cases

### Fixing broken email layouts
An agent is building a welcome email and keeps messing up the tags. Use render_mustache to ensure the layout stays intact.

### Dynamic invoice generation
A user needs to turn a JSON order into a PDF. The agent uses the Connector to map line items into a professional invoice template.

### Consistent alert formatting
A monitoring tool needs Slack alerts. The agent uses the Connector to ensure every alert has the same severity and timestamp format.

### Standardized report bodies
A company wants all reports to look the same. The agent uses the Connector to fill data into a master template.

## Benefits

- Fix broken HTML layouts by using render_mustache to handle all tag closures and formatting automatically.
- Ensure consistent output across different languages since the Mustache spec is a universal standard.
- Prevent code injection risks by using a logic-less system that only accepts data, not executable code.
- Save time on repetitive tasks like building invoices or notifications with pre-defined layouts.
- Reduce errors from manual string concatenation by letting the engine handle data mapping for you.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get perfectly formatted text without manual string manipulation.

1. Provide a Mustache template string and a JSON data object to your agent.
2. The Connector processes the template using the universal Mustache spec.
3. Your agent receives the fully rendered string, ready for use.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What does the Mustache Template Engine MCP do?**
It turns your data into formatted text. You give it a template and some info, and it spits out a finished email, invoice, or message.

**Can I use the Mustache Template Engine MCP to send HTML emails?**
Yes, it's perfect for that. You provide the HTML structure as a template, and it fills in the names and links from your data.

**Does the Mustache Template Engine MCP work with other programming languages?**
Yes, the Mustache spec is universal. The same template you use here will work in Python, JS, Ruby, and many others.

**Is the Mustache Template Engine MCP safe for user data?**
It's very safe because it's logic-less. It only inserts data into placeholders and doesn't execute any code, which prevents many common security issues.

**Can I use the Mustache Template Engine MCP for invoices?**
Absolutely. It's great for mapping list items like products or services into a clean, formatted invoice body.

**How does the Mustache Template Engine MCP handle Slack notifications?**
You can create a template for your alerts. The Connector will then fill in the severity, service name, and error details automatically.

**Why Mustache instead of Handlebars or EJS?**
Mustache has a universal spec — the same template renders identically in JS, Python, Go, Ruby, Rust, and 30+ languages. Handlebars and EJS are JavaScript-only. If your pipeline spans multiple languages, Mustache is the only portable choice.

**Is it safe to render user-provided templates?**
Yes. Mustache is logic-less — templates can only insert data, never execute code. There's no eval(), no function calls, no file access. Intrinsically safe by design.

**Can it iterate over lists and arrays?**
Yes. Mustache sections ({{#items}}...{{/items}}) iterate over arrays automatically. Each item's properties are accessible inside the section.
