Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
Server not connecting	Regenerate your MCP URL from Settings, Integrations
Template not found	Use list_templates to get the correct UUID
Timeout on large batch	Batches over 10 records process async — poll get_batch_status
429 Too Many Requests	Rate limit hit — retry after a short pause

---

Rate limits

Endpoint	Limit
Document generation	30 requests / minute per organisation
Template reads, credits	30 requests / minute per organisation

generate_batch counts as one request regardless of record count.

Migrating from the npm package

The standalone npm package (npx bulkrender-mcp with BULKRENDER_API_KEY) is no longer supported. Use the hosted MCP URL instead — no install, no env vars, just paste the URL from your dashboard.

If you have the old config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bulkrender": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "bulkrender-mcp"],
      "env": { "BULKRENDER_API_KEY": "br_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Replace it with:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bulkrender": {
      "url": "YOUR_MCP_URL"
    }
  }
}

Get your MCP URL from Settings, Integrations, AI Assistants (MCP) in your BulkRender dashboard.
