Nothing serious here today

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

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

code

create_qr_code

Free. Creates a QR code for a URL. Returns a hosted PNG (imageUrl), the SVG markup when format is "svg", and for "direct" codes a pageUrl where the code can be viewed and downloaded. "redirect" codes encode a scan link (scanUrl) that counts scans; the destination of a redirect code can be changed later with update_destination, which requires Pro. Without an API key the result includes a claimUrl, valid for 30 days, that adds the code to the QR codes of whoever opens it on QRCodeCreator.app. Unsafe links and links to private or internal hosts are refused with an error that names the reason.

destination

update_destination

Changes the URL a "redirect" QR code sends people to, so a printed code can point somewhere new. Requires Pro ($9/month): an API key (Authorization: Bearer qrcd_...) whose owner owns the code and has Pro. Without a key it returns api_key_required; if the owner doesn't have Pro, pro_required; if the code belongs to someone else, not_owner. The new URL gets the same safety checks as create_qr_code.

plan

get_plan_status

Free. With an API key, returns whether the key's owner has Pro, the subscription status and when the current period ends. Without a key, returns what the free and Pro plans include and the Pro price ($9/month).

scan

get_scan_analytics

Free. Returns how many times a QR code was scanned, in total and per UTC day. Only "redirect" codes record scans. Needs no API key: the counts for a code can be read by anyone with its ID. If the code's owner does not have Pro ($9/month), only the last 7 days are included (historyDays in the result); with Pro, the full history is.

start

start_pro_subscription

Pro costs $9/month. Returns a checkoutUrl for the Pro subscription, with the plan and its price. Getting the link is free: it charges nothing and changes no account; a subscription starts only if a person opens the link and completes Stripe checkout in their browser. Without an API key, Pro applies to the browser that completes checkout, including codes added to it with a claimUrl; with a key, it applies to the key's owner. Returns already_pro if the key's owner already has Pro.

QR Code Creator — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can QR Code Creator do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_qr_code, get_plan_status, get_scan_analytics, start_pro_subscription, update_destination. 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 QR Code Creator working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 27 of 27 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 999 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect QR Code Creator?

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 QR Code Creator need an API key?

No. QR Code Creator completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is QR Code Creator?

It answers our handshake in 999 ms on average, which is faster than 8% 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.
