Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 9 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

The manual process of corporate gifting feels endless.

Today, coordinating gift mail means jumping between your CRM, your spreadsheets, and the Cardly portal. You have to export a list, check artwork IDs in one tab, verify addresses in another, then manually select the design for every single person before finally hitting 'submit' on the order form. It’s clicking through dozens of tabs just to send thank you notes.

With this MCP, your agent handles the entire chain. You tell it who needs a card and why. The system automatically finds contacts using `find_contact`, verifies the design via `get_artwork_details`, generates the preview with `preview_greeting_card`, and places the final order—all in natural conversation.

The Cardly MCP gives you live, actionable card orders.

You eliminate the need to manually verify API keys or list artwork IDs. The agent handles those preparatory steps for you. It's not enough just to know a contact exists; you have to make sure the system is ready to process and ship it globally.

Now, placing an order is a single conversation. You don't manage multiple forms or wait through complex manual data validation. The action happens instantly.

What your AI can actually do with this

This MCP connects your AI client to physical card printing services. You run natural language prompts to manage everything from contact lists to actual orders. Need to send a thank you note? Your agent handles the whole flow: finding the recipient's details, selecting the perfect design, generating a preview for verification, and placing the final order across multiple global regions.

It’s built for marketing, HR, or sales teams who need reliable, paper-based communication at scale.

When you connect this MCP through Vinkius, your AI client gains direct access to these workflows. You don't have to jump between dozens of tabs in a web browser; the entire process happens conversationally. This means automating follow-up thank-you cards for sales reps or coordinating birthday sends for HR departments—all from your existing workflow tool.
