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

dynamic
create_dynamic_qr
Create an editable (dynamic) QR code whose destination you can change later without reprinting. Requires an OpenQR API key.
delete_dynamic_qr
Permanently delete a dynamic QR code. The short link stops working. Requires an OpenQR API key.
list_dynamic_qr
List your dynamic (editable) QR codes — id, short URL, destination, label and status. Requires an OpenQR API key.

Openqr — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Openqr do?
It exposes 13 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: bulk_create_dynamic_qr, create_dynamic_qr, create_folder, create_theme, delete_dynamic_qr, delete_folder and 7 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 Openqr mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around dynamic, folder and theme. 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 Openqr 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 544 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Openqr still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Openqr?
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 Openqr need an API key?
No. Openqr completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 13 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Openqr?
It answers our handshake in 544 ms on average, which is faster than 19% 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.
