If a tool disappears, we record the date.
link
delete_link
Permanently delete a link and its click history. Every QR code and shared copy pointing at it stops working immediately, and the short code is released. There is no undo. Prefer update_link when the goal is to send the link somewhere else. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).
get_link
Read one link on the account: its destination, title, click count, creation date and UTM settings. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).
get_link_analytics
Read the click analytics of one link: total clicks, a daily series, and breakdowns by country, device, operating system, browser and referrer. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).
get_link_qr
Fetch the QR code for an existing link, ready to print. Returns the artwork saved on the link when there is one (frames, colours and logo set in the ShareCut editor), otherwise renders a plain code for its short URL. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).
update_link
Re-point an existing short link at a new destination, or change its title, description or UTM parameters. This is what makes a printed QR code reusable: the code encodes the short link, so changing the destination redirects every copy already printed, shared or stuck on a wall, and the click history is kept. The new destination is screened with Google Web Risk. The short code itself never changes here, because changing it would break every copy already out there. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).
shorten
shorten_url
Create a ShareCut short link for a URL and get a matching QR code. Unlike a static QR, this one points at the short link, so update_link can change where it goes after it has been printed, and every scan is counted (country, device, referrer). Destinations are screened with Google Web Risk. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).
shorten_urls_bulk
Create up to 25 short links in one call. Each entry takes the same fields as shorten_url. Failures are reported per item, so one bad URL does not discard the rest. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).
account
get_account
Read the plan behind the API key, what it entitles, how much of this month’s API quota is left and when it resets, plus how many links the account holds and their total clicks. Worth calling before a bulk run. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).
create
create_qr
FREE, no API key needed. Render any URL or text as a QR code and return it as SVG, optionally also as a PNG data URL. This QR is STATIC: its destination is baked in and cannot be changed once printed. If the destination might ever change, use shorten_url instead — that QR points at a ShareCut short link, stays editable after printing (see update_link) and counts every scan.
expand
expand_short_link
FREE, no API key needed. Look up where a sharecut.site short link actually goes, and how many times it has been used, without opening it. Useful before following or forwarding a link someone sent. Only resolves ShareCut links.
links
list_links
List the links on the account the API key belongs to: short links, link-in-bio pages and restaurant menus, with their click counts. Filter by type or by a search term, and sort by newest or by most clicked. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).
short
check_short_code
FREE, no API key needed. Check whether a custom short code is still free before trying to claim it with shorten_url. Codes are lowercase letters, digits and hyphens, up to 10 characters.

How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is ShareCut QR & Short Links mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around link and shorten. 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 ShareCut QR & Short Links 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 658 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect ShareCut QR & Short Links?
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 ShareCut QR & Short Links need an API key?
No. ShareCut QR & Short Links completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 12 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is ShareCut QR & Short Links?
It answers our handshake in 658 ms on average, which is faster than 14% 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.
How many people use ShareCut QR & Short Links?
The npm package sharecut-mcp was installed 56 times in the last week. Week over week that is +2%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is ShareCut QR & Short Links open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at sharecut.site, which runs on its operator's own terms.
