URL Shortener — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is URL Shortener working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 443 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect URL Shortener?

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

Does URL Shortener need an API key?

No. URL Shortener completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
