FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I see a preview of the card before sending it?

Yes! Use the preview_greeting_card tool with your message and artwork ID. Your agent will return a preview URL (usually a PDF) so you can verify everything looks perfect.

How do I find the correct artwork ID for a design?

Simply ask the agent to list_card_artwork. It will retrieve all the available designs from your account, including their titles and unique IDs or slugs.

Does the integration support international shipping?

Yes. When using the place_greeting_card_order action, you can specify the country code (e.g., 'UK', 'AU', 'US'). Cardly handles the local printing and postage automatically.

How does LlamaIndex connect to MCP servers?

Use the MCP client adapter to create a connection. LlamaIndex discovers all tools and wraps them as query engine tools compatible with any LlamaIndex agent.
