Endpoint below is the one we actually reach during checks — not the one copied from a README. Last verified 3 min ago.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add qr-branding --transport http https://qr-branding.com/mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qr-branding": {

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: QR_BRANDING_API_KEY (Your QR Branding API key (qrb_…), from https://qr-branding.com/dashboard/keys. Requires a Studio pack.), QR_BRANDING_API_BASE_URL (Gateway base URL. Defaults to https://qr-branding.com.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Available tools 7

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

build
qr_build_geo
Encode a latitude/longitude pair into a geo: URI QR. Scanning opens the location in the device's default maps app.
qr_build_vcard
Encode a contact card (vCard) with first and last name, organization, phone, email and website URL into a QR. Scanning the QR adds the contact to the phone's address book.
qr_build_wifi
Encode Wi-Fi credentials (SSID, password, auth type, hidden flag) into a scannable Wi-Fi QR. Returns both the WIFI:... payload string and a generated QR image.
generate
qr_generate
Generate a fully branded QR code with explicit control over colors, module/finder shapes, logo, caption, and output format. Use this when the user already knows the design they want.
qr_generate_ai
Generate a QR code where the QR Branding LLM picks colors and shapes from a natural-language prompt. Best for "make me a luxury gold dotted QR for a coffee brand" style requests.
qr_generate_from_template
Render one of the curated templates by id, optionally overriding the encoded content, colors, or output format/size for this specific call.
templates
qr_list_templates
List the 118 pre-designed QR templates (id, name, description, preview thumbnail URL). Filter by category if the user asks for a specific style.

QR Branding — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can QR Branding do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: qr_build_geo, qr_build_vcard, qr_build_wifi, qr_generate, qr_generate_ai, qr_generate_from_template and 1 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 QR Branding mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around build and generate. 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 QR Branding 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 1806 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect QR Branding?
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 QR Branding need an API key?
No. QR Branding completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is QR Branding?
It answers our handshake in 1806 ms on average, which is faster than 1% 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 QR Branding?
The npm package @qr-branding/mcp-server was installed 940 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.
