Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Shareglow every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

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.

generate

generate_og_image

Render a 1200x630 Open Graph image from a template id (see list_templates) and text params such as title and subtitle. Returns the permanent image URL to put in og:image, and whether it was already cached. Optional exp (Unix seconds, paid plans) makes the signed URL expire; leave it out for an og:image URL.

link

get_link_stats

Get click analytics for a short link by id (from create_short_link): totals plus breakdowns by day, country, device, browser and referrer. Optional from/to dates (YYYY-MM-DD).

refresh

refresh_preview

Force social platforms to re-fetch a page's link preview after you changed its OG tags or image: bumps the og:image cache-buster, re-scrapes Facebook, and returns the LinkedIn Post Inspector link and the X cache note.

scan

scan_url

Scan a public web page and report its link-preview (Open Graph / Twitter Card) metadata, previews per platform, and issues with fix suggestions. Use it to answer 'why does my link preview look wrong?'.

short

create_short_link

Create a short link with its own link preview. Optional custom slug, and optional A/B variants (each with a title, description, imageUrl or templateId) to test which preview gets more clicks. Returns id, shortUrl and variants. Use the id with get_link_stats.

template

create_template_from_url

Use AI to design a new OG image template from a website's brand (logo, colors, fonts) taken from a URL. Returns the chosen layoutId (a built-in template id usable with generate_og_image), the variables to pass, and the extracted brand kit. Counts against the plan's AI quota.

templates

list_templates

List the OG image templates the workspace can render (built-in and custom) with id, name, version and dimensions. Call this before generate_og_image to pick a templateId.

Shareglow — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Shareglow do?

It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_short_link, create_template_from_url, generate_og_image, get_link_stats, list_templates, refresh_preview 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 Shareglow working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 254 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Shareglow?

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 Shareglow need an API key?

No. Shareglow 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 Shareglow?

It answers our handshake in 254 ms on average, which is faster than 66% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Shareglow open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.getshareglow.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
