How to create an Account API Key for the API

The information in this document will help you establish an API account for testing. Please note that this is a work in progress, and content will change as we continue to enhance our new API and accompanying documentation.

Step 1 - Sign up for a new Mimeo Print account

The first step is to create a Mimeo Print account in one or more regions. If you already have an existing Mimeo Print account, you can skip this step.

1. Visit the Mimeo Print website and sign up for an account first.

2. Contact your Mimeo Account Representative to setup your API Console access and Accounts Credits.

3. Please provide a valid contact account address for your new API account

4. Manually upload a few print files, and create documents for testing.

Step 2 - Sign up for an API account

Once the account is setup, you can use it to generate your API key. If you ever forget your key, you can simply follow this process to retrieve it.

API Key Self-Service lets developers retrieve API subscription keys directly from the Mimeo portal. This improves onboarding and reduces dependency on support for credential access.

Access Steps

  1. Go to your print site: my.mimeo.com (US region) my.mimeo.co.uk (UK region) my.mimeo.de (DE region)

  2. Navigate to Account Settings.

  3. Select the API Console tab.

  4. Click Get API Key.

Mimeo Print API MCP Tool — Now Available

Stop context-switching to the Dev Portal mid-code. The Mimeo Print API MCP tool brings the full API reference directly into your AI coding agent — search endpoints, get request/response shapes, and generate working integration code without leaving your editor.

Add it to your VS Code mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "mimeo-print-api": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://print-mcp-usea-app.azurewebsites.net/mcp"
    }
  }
}

That's it. No API key needed to access the tool itself — just add the server and start asking your AI agent Mimeo Print API questions. ex: Please give me the recommended workflow to place an order with Mimeo
