Link in Seconds does not always answer
Over the last week it answered 10.8% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

upload
create_upload_url
For files too big to send inline: returns a short-lived upload URL (valid 10 minutes). PUT the raw file bytes to it with the given Content-Type header (for example with curl), then call finish_upload with the returned path. Per-file limit: 250 MB on the Free plan, 500 MB on Pro and Lifetime. A bigger file is refused, so tell the user it is over the limit instead of asking for it. Programs and scripts (.exe, .msi, .dmg, .apk, .app, .bat, .sh, .jar, .dll and similar) are always blocked: say so and do not try to upload them. HTML pages (.html, .htm) need a Pro or Lifetime account that is at least 24 hours old, and are uploaded one at a time: on a Free account the upload is refused with code html_pro_required (html_account_too_new for a newer paid account), so tell the user instead of retrying.
upload_file
Use this when the user wants to share a file, document, image or HTML page as a link. Publish a file and get a public Link in Seconds URL that opens in any browser (no sign-in for the viewer). If the user attached a file in the chat, pass it in `file` (any size the plan allows). Otherwise pass the file as text in `content` (HTML, Markdown, CSV, SVG, JSON...) or as base64 in `content_base64` (PDF, images, ZIP...), up to 3 MB; for bigger files use create_upload_url. The account's plan limits apply. Per-file limit: 250 MB on the Free plan, 500 MB on Pro and Lifetime. A bigger file is refused, so tell the user it is over the limit instead of asking for it. Programs and scripts (.exe, .msi, .dmg, .apk, .app, .bat, .sh, .jar, .dll and similar) are always blocked: say so and do not try to upload them. HTML pages (.html, .htm) need a Pro or Lifetime account that is at least 24 hours old, and are uploaded one at a time: on a Free account the upload is refused with code html_pro_required (html_account_too_new for a newer paid account), so tell the user instead of retrying.
account
get_account_analytics
Read-only. The whole account's analytics over a UTC window: views, unique visitors, time on files, countries, devices, traffic sources, busiest hour and the top links.
finish
finish_upload
Call after PUTting the file to the URL from create_upload_url. Checks and scans the file, then returns its public link.
link
get_link_analytics
Read-only. Use this when the user asks whether someone opened a link, or how it did. How one of the account's links performed: views, unique visitors, time on the file, how far readers got (pages for PDFs, watch-through for video and audio, scroll depth for pages), countries, devices, traffic sources and the busiest hour, over a UTC window. Pass the slug or the full link URL.

Link in Seconds — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Link in Seconds do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_upload_url, finish_upload, get_account_analytics, get_link_analytics, list_links, upload_file. 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 Link in Seconds working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 2 of 92 checks got a reply (2.2%), average response time 680 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Link in Seconds as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Link in Seconds?
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 Link in Seconds need an API key?
No. Link in Seconds completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Link in Seconds?
It answers our handshake in 680 ms on average, which is faster than 13% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
