Server instructions

Generates barcodes and QR codes in 35 symbologies, rendered server-side. Typical flow: 1. Call list_barcode_types if you are unsure what "type" to use. 2. Call generate_barcode with the type and the value to encode. 3. Call get_barcode_type when a format rejects your value, or when you need charset / length / check-digit rules to choose a format. Formats the model must handle carefully: EAN-13 and UPC-A require exact digit counts (a check digit is computed for you), Code 128 accepts any ASCII, and QR/Data Matrix/PDF417/Aztec accept arbitrary text up to 1024 characters. A rejection is a data problem, not a server fault — read the error message and retry with a corrected value.

Known tools 3

generate_barcode

Encode a value into any of 35 barcode and QR symbologies and return the rendered image.

Inferred read-only

list_barcode_types

List every symbology this server can generate (35 formats), grouped by family, with a one-line summary and sample data for each.

Inferred read-only

get_barcode_type

Return the full technical reference for one symbology: character set, data length, check digit rules, X-dimension and quiet-zone guidance, print ratio, magnification, governing standard, inventor and year, typical applications, FAQ, and related formats.
