Generate this document via the API

One template plus changing data is the whole point. The list of blanks above is the contract, and every new set of values comes back in the same layout: fill it in the app, hand someone a form link, or POST the JSON and get the file straight back.

The request below carries this page's own values, so it runs as soon as the template exists in your workspace. Swap the values for yours and the response is your document.

The DocMake MCP server lets Claude and other assistants make this document the same way. Install it once:

claude mcp add docmake \
  --env DOCMAKE_API_KEY=dm_your_api_key \
  -- npx -y @docmake/mcp@latest

Then ask for the document in plain words:

Make a PDF from my Weekly Timesheet template with employee "Priya Sandhu" and week "August 3 to 7, 2026".
