Field notes
A POST to the render endpoint takes Typst source and referenced files, with the PDF returned as the response body; the page says errors include a source line number. The demo shows editable certificate source and reports a 67 ms render for a one-page sample. The site also documents remote MCP access and a local npx package, and says custom TTF or OTF fonts can be supplied with a request.
