com.galleyrender/galley-render · Verify this server

Turn the keyless trial into a real account and get a permanent API key. Call it once with an email. A link is mailed to that address and the tool returns `status: "pending_verification"` with a four-character `request_code`. **Tell the person the code.** The link opens a page that names who asked, when, and the code, and nothing happens until the person answers it: they confirm the request only if it shows the code you gave them. After they confirm, call this again with the same email, from this same client, and it returns the API key, once. The key goes only to the client whose request was confirmed, and that client is then bound to the account, so a connector that cannot send headers is connected from then on. **A client with no identity of its own can't be handed the key** (`can_receive_key: false`). That is any client that sent no key and no client id — every hosted connector added with the shared URL, because they all call from their vendor's servers. Its person verifies the address on the page and sees the key there, once. To use the account from such a connector afterwards, add it with a personal URL (`https://mcp.galleyrender.com/mcp/c/<id>`). If the person says the request wasn't theirs, it is cancelled, this returns `status: "declined"`, and the address can't be asked about again from this client for a day. **If that address already has an account, no second one is made, and no key comes back.** You get `status: "existing_account"`, `verified: false`, `existing_account: true`, and a one-time code in the post — hand that code to `link_account` and this client is connected to the account that already exists. Use this rather than inventing a second address: two accounts means two free tiers and two sets of templates, and the renders anyone is waiting for are on the first one. A key on the connection changes this only if it is a live key for that same account. When the person confirms this client's request, this client's trial is upgraded in place, so templates and renders made during the trial are kept. The free tier is 5 PDF pages or 5 images a month; Solo is $5 a month for 200 PDF pages or 500 images. Pricing: https://galleyrender.com/pricing. Store the key as a secret — it is shown only on that one call.
