Tools & capabilities
Print and Mail Company tools 14
get_price_quoteUse this when the user asks what it costs to send a physical letter by post (snail mail), including a registered letter. Returns the exact total incl. Luxembourg VAT (for a signed-in EU business customer with a confirmed VAT number: excl. VAT under the reverse charge), the line items, the envelope, the postal size class and zone and the typical delivery time for a page count, destination country and print options. Letters are printed and posted in Luxembourg, France, Belgium or Germany, so the sender can be anywhere in the world. Note: registered mail is international registered mail with tracking and signature on delivery; "certified" letters, Einschreiben, lettre recommandée and carta certificada mean this here (not a US certified-mail product). Works without sign-in. Set currency to get the total in USD, GBP or CHF (ECB rate plus currency margin). Does not cover email, fax, parcels or postcards.list_destinationsUse this when the user asks whether a letter can be posted to a country, or which countries can be reached. Without country: all destination countries with their postage zone. With country: that country's zone, the price of a 1-page standard and registered letter, and the typical delivery time. Works without sign-in. Letters only, no parcels.check_pdf_marginsUse this when the user has a PDF they want printed and posted and it should be checked first: verifies the page size (A4 or US Letter) and the required free margin on every side, and lists the pages that need changes. We print on the paper size uploaded (printed_on): A4 on A4, US Letter on US Letter (for a recipient outside the US, Canada and US territories the user may choose A4 instead when sending); a PDF mixing A4 and US Letter pages is printed on A4, its Letter pages centred at 100 % or scaled down slightly when content comes close to the edge (us_letter_note, pages[].scale_percent). Decide by compliant: all_pages_a4 is false for a US Letter PDF, which is printable. Accepts a public https URL or base64. The file is not stored and nothing is sent. Works without sign-in. To fix a failing PDF, upload it with upload_document and use fix_document_margins.compose_letterUse this when the user wants to write a new paper letter from text and post it, for example to cancel a contract, subscription or membership by letter, file a complaint or objection, or send a formal notice, by ordinary or registered mail. Renders an A4 letter (DIN 5008 layout: sender block with the user's own name and address, recipient, place and date, subject, body, closing, signature) that passes the print check, and creates a draft with the exact price. Nothing is sent or charged: show the user the draft and the total, ask for confirmation, then call send_letter. The sender can live in any country. Body supports paragraphs (blank line), '- ' bullets, '1. ' lists and **bold**. Needs the user's account.upload_documentUse this when the user already has a PDF (public https URL or base64) that should be printed and posted. Stores the file in the user's account, runs the print check (A4 or US Letter, free margins; printed_on says the paper: US Letter PDFs are printed on US Letter, a PDF mixing A4 and US Letter pages on A4, see us_letter_note; decide by compliant, as all_pages_a4 is false for a US Letter PDF) and returns document_id for create_letter. If the check fails, call fix_document_margins or ask the user for a corrected file. For a file on the user's own device, use create_upload_link instead. Sends nothing. Needs the user's account.fix_document_marginsUse this when an uploaded PDF fails the print check because content is too close to the edge or pages are neither A4 nor US Letter. mode "shrink" (default) scales the affected pages down slightly and centres them on their paper (US Letter for a US Letter PDF, else A4); nothing is lost. mode "crop" keeps pages at 100 % and removes everything inside the margin band, so that content is NOT printed (pages of other sizes are first fitted onto A4). The US Letter pages of a mixed PDF that already fit on A4 keep their placement. The original upload is kept; calling again with the other mode replaces the earlier fix. If content touches the edge, ask the user which mode they prefer and tell them what changed. Not possible once the letter is paid. Needs the user's account.create_upload_linkUse this when the user wants to post a PDF that is on their own device and cannot be passed as a URL or base64. Creates a private upload page (valid 60 minutes); give the URL to the user, and once they have uploaded, pass upload_id to create_letter. Sends nothing. Needs the user's account.create_letterUse this when the user has an uploaded PDF (document_id, or upload_id from create_upload_link) and a recipient address and wants it posted by ordinary or registered mail; registered mail is international registered mail with tracking and signature on delivery; "certified" letters, Einschreiben, lettre recommandée and carta certificada mean this here (not a US certified-mail product). Creates a draft with the exact total in the user's currency. Nothing is sent or charged; call send_letter only after the user confirms. Every envelope carries our company return address, so the user's own address belongs in the document. A US Letter PDF to a recipient outside the US, Canada and US territories needs the user's paper choice (paper_size, same price): without it the draft says paper_choice_required. Needs the user's account.send_letterUse this when the user has explicitly confirmed a specific draft letter (recipient, content and total price) and wants it printed and posted. Pays the letter from the user's prepaid credit and releases it to print; it can be cancelled with cancel_letter only until production starts. Only call this after that confirmation and after the user agreed to the Terms (https://printandmailcompany.com/en/legal/terms) and to printing starting immediately (which ends the consumer right of withdrawal once printed). If credit is too low, the result contains a payment link for the user; the assistant cannot pay. A US Letter PDF to a recipient outside the US, Canada and US territories needs paper_size (ask the user: shrink to A4, recommended, or keep US Letter; same price); without it the call fails with PAPER_CHOICE_REQUIRED and nothing is charged. Posts paper letters only: no email, fax or parcels. Needs the user's account.get_letterUse this when the user asks about a letter they created here: status (draft, paid, in_production, printed, posted, cancelled, returned), tracking number for registered mail, and price. Look up by letter_id or reference (PM-XXXXXX). Changes nothing. Needs the user's account.list_lettersUse this when the user wants to see their recent letters, optionally filtered by status. Returns status, recipient, price and tracking number per letter. Changes nothing. Needs the user's account.cancel_letterUse this when the user wants to stop a letter they created here: cancels a draft, or a paid letter that has not gone into production yet, and returns the amount to the user's credit. Letters already printed or posted cannot be recalled. This cancels our letter, not a contract the user has with someone else (for that, compose_letter writes the cancellation letter). Ask the user before cancelling. Needs the user's account.- +2 more on the listing page
MCP Server Chart tools 27
generate_area_chartGenerate a area chart to show data trends under continuous independent variables and observe the overall data trend, such as, displacement = velocity (average or instantaneous) × time: s = v × t. If the x-axis is time (t) and the y-axis is velocity (v) at each moment, an area chart allows you to observe the trend of velocity over time and infer the distance traveled by the area's size.generate_bar_chartGenerate a horizontal bar chart to show data for numerical comparisons among different categories, such as, comparing categorical data and for horizontal comparisons.generate_boxplot_chartGenerate a boxplot chart to show data for statistical summaries among different categories, such as, comparing the distribution of data points across categories.generate_column_chartGenerate a column chart, which are best for comparing categorical data, such as, when values are close, column charts are preferable because our eyes are better at judging height than other visual elements like area or angles.generate_district_mapGenerates regional distribution maps, which are usually used to show the administrative divisions and coverage of a dataset. It is not suitable for showing the distribution of specific locations, such as urban administrative divisions, GDP distribution maps of provinces and cities across the country, etc. This tool is limited to generating data maps within China.generate_dual_axes_chartGenerate a dual axes chart which is a combination chart that integrates two different chart types, typically combining a bar chart with a line chart to display both the trend and comparison of data, such as, the trend of sales and profit over time.generate_fishbone_diagramGenerate a fishbone diagram chart to uses a fish skeleton, like structure to display the causes or effects of a core problem, with the problem as the fish head and the causes/effects as the fish bones. It suits problems that can be split into multiple related factors.generate_flow_diagramGenerate a flow diagram chart to show the steps and decision points of a process or system, such as, scenarios requiring linear process presentation.generate_funnel_chartGenerate a funnel chart to visualize the progressive reduction of data as it passes through stages, such as, the conversion rates of users from visiting a website to completing a purchase.generate_histogram_chartGenerate a histogram chart to show the frequency of data points within a certain range. It can observe data distribution, such as, normal and skewed distributions, and identify data concentration areas and extreme points.generate_line_chartGenerate a line chart to show trends over time, such as, the ratio of Apple computer sales to Apple's profits changed from 2000 to 2016.generate_liquid_chartGenerate a liquid chart to visualize a single value as a percentage, such as, the current occupancy rate of a reservoir or the completion percentage of a project.- +15 more on the listing page
