Create template

Creates a starter kit PRIVATE to the caller's org and answers 201 with the stored kit.

POST /v1/template

Address	`https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/template`
Method	`POST`
Operation	`post_template`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`

Creates a starter kit PRIVATE to the caller's org and answers 201 with the stored kit. The owner is stamped by the server, so a body "org" is never trusted; publishing over a public-catalog slug is 409, so a slug still names exactly one kit.

Request

16 fields, body application/json (required).

Field	In	Type	Required	Description
`category`	body	string	—	Category groups the kit in the gallery browser.
`demo`	body	string	—	Demo is the deployed site itself, when there is one.
`description`	body	string	—	Description is the browse-card blurb, max 4096 characters.
`features`	body	string[]	—	Features are the highlights the card lists, at most 32.
`framework`	body	string	—	Framework is the stack the kit is built on ("Next.js 14").
`preview`	body	string	—	Preview is the still image the browse card renders, max 4096 characters.
`slug`	body	string	—	Slug is the kit's identity — lowercase alphanumeric with dashes, max 40.
`source`	body	string	—	Source is the repository the kit is forked from, max 4096 characters.
`title`	body	string	—	Title is the display name.
`useCase`	body	string	—	UseCase is what the kit is for, in a phrase.
`variants`	body	template.Variant[]	—	Variants are the shapes this kit ships in, at most 32; the fork picks one.
`variants[].framework`	body	string	—	only when it differs from the template's
`variants[].id`	body	string	—	selector, unique within the template ("react", "grid-3-fluid")
`variants[].kind`	body	string	—	the axis it varies: format \| page \| theme
`variants[].label`	body	string	—	human label for the picker
`variants[].source`	body	string	—	the repository this shape is forked from; the synthesized default shape carries the template's own

MCP reaches template through the template tool, which names its 5 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. describe explains any of them:

curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "list_templates"
         }
       }
     }'
