Available tools 7

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

auth

auth

Sign in to b59.link to raise the rate limit from 2 to 300 requests/minute and own what you create. Pass api_key to get a session key straight away. Or pass email to have a 6-digit code emailed, then call again with email and otp to get a session key (new emails are signed up and also get their api_key). Send the session key as the HTTP header 'Authorization: Bearer <session_key>'.

generate

generate_qr

Generate a trackable QR code for a URL. Creates a b59.link short URL at the same time so scans are counted. Returns the short URL, a stats URL, and the QR code as a base64-encoded PNG.

lookup

lookup_url

Check whether a URL already has a b59.link short URL. Handles variations: http/https, www prefix, trailing slash. Returns the existing short URL and QR code if found.

make

make_qr_image

Make a QR code image for any text (URL, Wi-Fi string, phone, email, plain text) without creating a short link. Supports colors, size and SVG. Returns the image plus a permanent image URL that can be embedded with <img src>. Use generate_qr instead when scans should be counted.

shorten

shorten_url

Shorten a long URL and get a memorable b59.link short URL. Optionally specify a custom slug. Returns the short URL and a stats URL.

stats

get_stats_url

Get the stats page URL for anything b59.link tracks: a slug or short URL, the destination URL of a short link or QR code, a tracker id or tag URL, or any page URL / domain that has a tracker tag. Stats themselves are viewed on b59.link; this returns where.

tracker

create_tracker

Create a free page-view tracker for a website. Returns the tag image URL and ready-to-paste snippets for the site's pages, plus the stats URL where views, visitors, pages and referrers are shown. When signed in, the tracker belongs to the account; otherwise keep the manage_token to claim it later.

b59.link — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can b59.link do?

It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: auth, create_tracker, generate_qr, get_stats_url, lookup_url, make_qr_image and 1 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is b59.link working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 73 of 73 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 431 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect b59.link?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does b59.link need an API key?

No. b59.link completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is b59.link?

It answers our handshake in 431 ms on average, which is faster than 32% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
