Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs an external command bin/hovercode-mcp.js:32, [пакет] bin/hovercode-mcp.js:32

const child = spawn(process.execPath, [proxy, ...args], { stdio: "inherit" });

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 36

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

short

create_short_link

Create a tracked short link for a URL. It comes with its own QR code (same id; use download_qr). Supports a custom slug and a custom domain. The destination can be changed later with update_short_link, and clicks are tracked. Never shorten a link that is already a Hovercode short link, form link, or page link — those are already tracked and already have a QR code.

delete_short_link

Delete a short link. It stops redirecting after deletion.

get_short_link

Get one short link's details, destination, click counts, and QR.

get_short_link_activity

List recent click events for a short link (time, location, device).

list_short_links

List short links in a workspace, newest first. Optional `query` searches URL, name, and slug.

update_short_link

Update a short link. Changing `link` retargets it — the short URL keeps working, it just points somewhere new. Also supports renaming and toggling location tracking.

code

create_qr_code

Create a Hovercode QR code and return its details plus a rendered PNG. Set `dynamic: true` for a code whose destination can be changed later and whose scans are tracked (requires a paid plan); static codes are free and encode the data directly. Supports full design control (colors, pattern, eye style, frames with captions, logo). Not for Hovercode forms, pages, or short links: those already have their own QR code (returned as `qr_id` / `id`) — use download_qr or update_qr_code with that id instead.

delete_qr_code

Delete a QR code. Dynamic codes stop redirecting after deletion.

get_qr_code

Get one QR code's details and scan analytics (total and unique scans), plus a rendered PNG.

update_qr_code

Update a QR code in place — the same code keeps working, so it's safe for already-printed codes. Changing `qr_data` retargets a DYNAMIC code's destination. Design fields (colors, pattern, eye style, frame, logo) restyle the code WITHOUT replacing it. Also supports renaming, toggling location tracking, moving it into a folder (`folder`, or 'none' to unfile), and adding/removing tags. Returns the re-rendered QR so you can preview the result. Any combination works in one call.

form

create_form

Create a form, define its fields, brand it, publish it, and return a shareable short link + QR in one step. Use for 'make me a form to collect X, give me a link and QR to share it'. The result's `share_url` is the public link and `qr_id` is the form's own dynamic QR code (image included) — never call create_qr_code or create_short_link for a form's link; pass QR design args (primary_color, eye_style, frame, logo_url, …) here to style that code in the same call. Supports on-brand styling (theme/colors/logo), a `redirect_url` after submit, conditional logic (`show_when` on a field) and branching endings (`outcomes`), and a custom domain/slug. Publishing mints a dynamic short link and QR (requires a paid plan). Notifications are a separate, paid, verified-member setting. To change a form later, use update_form.

get_form

Get one form's details: status, response count, share link, and QR.

get_form_responses

List a form's submissions (newest first) so you can read or summarize them — e.g. 'summarize this week's feedback' or 'any complaints in the responses?'.

update_form

Change an existing form without recreating it: edit its fields, settings (redirect, thank-you, title), or branding (theme/colors/logo), or close/reopen it. If you pass `fields`, provide the COMPLETE desired list — include each existing field's `id` (from get_form) to keep it; omit a field to remove it; leave `id` off a new field. If the form is already published, edits are re-published so they go live.

page

create_page

Create a published micro landing page (link-in-bio style) with a title and a list of links, and return its live URL (`share_url`) + its own QR code (`qr_id`; style it with the QR design args here; don't create another). Use this for 'make me a page with these links and a QR to share it'. The page is a dynamic destination you can keep; it counts toward the workspace's page limit.

delete_page

Delete a landing page. Its live URL stops serving and it leaves the workspace's page list. Use for 'delete that page' / 'remove the landing page'.

get_page

Get one landing page's details: status, live URL, QR, and its blocks (each block's id + type) so you can edit it with update_page.

update_page

Change an existing landing page without recreating it: edit its blocks, title, description, or colors, and publish/unpublish it. Use for 'fix the typo on my page', 'add a section', or 'take the page down'. If you pass `blocks`, provide the COMPLETE desired list (same {type, content} shape as build_page; include each block's `id` from get_page to keep it, omit to remove) — leaving `blocks` off keeps the existing blocks untouched. If the page is already published, edits are re-published so they go live; pass publish:false to take it offline.

folder

create_folder

Create a folder to organise QR codes, optionally nested under a parent. Creating a folder that already exists (same name, same parent) returns the existing one, so it's safe to call repeatedly.

delete_folder

Delete a folder. The codes in it (and in its subfolders) are NOT deleted — they become unfiled — and its subfolders move up to its parent.

update_folder

Rename a folder and/or move it under another folder. `parent` 'none' moves it to the top level. Codes inside keep their filing.

codes

create_qr_codes_bulk

Create many QR codes at once from a list — e.g. 'make codes for these 20 product URLs in our brand colors'. All codes share the design/options you pass (colors, pattern, frame, dynamic, template). Returns the created codes and any per-item errors. Max 100 per call.

list_qr_codes

List QR codes in a workspace, newest first. Optional `query` searches destination, name, and tags. `folder` narrows to one folder, `include_tags` adds each code's tags (its folder is always shown), and `include_scans` adds scan counts — use it instead of calling get_analytics once per code.

activity

get_qr_activity

List recent scan events for a dynamic QR code (time, location, device). Use this to answer questions like where or when a code was scanned.

analytics

get_analytics

Scan analytics over a period: totals, unique scanners, scans-by-day, and top countries/cities/OS/browsers. Pass a QR code `id` for one code, or omit it for the whole workspace (which also returns the top codes). Use this to answer 'how did my codes do this month and where were people scanning?'.

block

list_block_types

List the page BLOCK TYPES available to build_page, each with its content JSON Schema. Call this first when composing a rich page so you know the vocabulary (header, link, text, image, button, video, gallery, faq, countdown, socials, divider, form, …).

build

build_page

Build a rich, on-brand landing page from an ordered list of typed blocks, publish it, and return its live URL + its own QR code (`qr_id`; style it with the QR design args here, restyle later with update_qr_code — don't create another). This is the 'make me a page for X' tool — e.g. an event, product, restaurant, link-in-bio, or a scan-to-enter sweepstakes. Each block is {type, content}; call list_block_types first to see every type and its content shape. Blocks render in order in a centered column; a 'header' block (name/bio/photo) is the profile.

download

download_qr

Get downloadable, print-ready image links for a QR code — a high-resolution PNG and a vector SVG (best for print/large sizes). Returns URLs you can share or save.

folders

list_folders

List the workspace's folders with their full path, code count, id and slug. Use a folder's id or slug with create_qr_code / update_qr_code (`folder`) to file codes, or with list_qr_codes to filter.

forms

list_forms

List the forms in a workspace, newest first. Optional `query` searches by title.

pages

list_pages

List the landing pages in a workspace, newest first.

pdf

create_pdf_qr

Create a dynamic QR code and short link for a PDF (menus, flyers, tickets). Host the PDF by passing `pdf_url` (a link Hovercode fetches) or `pdf_base64` (the file's base64 bytes). Returns a shareable short link plus a rendered QR. Because it's dynamic you can later swap the PDF without reprinting the code. Requires a paid plan (dynamic codes).

Hovercode — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Hovercode do?

It exposes 36 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: build_page, create_folder, create_form, create_page, create_pdf_qr, create_qr_code and 30 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 →

What is Hovercode mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around short, code and form. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Hovercode working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 206 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Hovercode?

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 Hovercode need an API key?

No. Hovercode completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 36 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Hovercode?

It answers our handshake in 206 ms on average, which is faster than 67% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use Hovercode?

The npm package hovercode-mcp was installed 223 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Hovercode open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
