Nothing serious here today

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

Available tools 20

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.

get_dynamic_qr

Get the full details of one of your QR codes by id: destination, short link, label, type, tags, folder, status and created date. 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.

update_dynamic_qr

Edit a dynamic QR code: change its destination, label, custom short link (slug), tags or folder. Pass only the fields you want to change. Requires an OpenQR API key.

folder

create_folder

Create a folder to organise codes. Requires an OpenQR API key.

delete_folder

Delete a folder (its codes are un-filed, not deleted). Requires an OpenQR API key.

link

create_link_alias

Create an extra short link (link alias) that resolves where one of your dynamic codes points: share a different slug per channel while the QR keeps its own slug, so QR scans and link clicks are counted separately. Free accounts have no alias allowance; Pro includes 10. Requires an OpenQR API key.

list_link_aliases

List the link aliases of one dynamic code. Requires an OpenQR API key.

subdomain

get_subdomain

Show the branded subdomain on this account ({name}.oqr.to). Reports whether it is currently suspended — a suspended subdomain redirects to the plain short link instead of serving, which happens when a Pro plan lapses. Requires an OpenQR API key.

set_subdomain

Claim or change the branded subdomain so codes also resolve at {name}.oqr.to. Pro only. Codes keep working on the plain short link either way, so changing this never breaks anything already printed. Requires an OpenQR API key.

theme

create_theme

Save a reusable style theme. `style` is a QR style object (fgColor, bgColor, dotType, cornerSquareType, etc.). Requires an OpenQR API key.

delete_theme

Delete a saved theme. Codes already styled with it keep their look. Requires an OpenQR API key.

bulk

bulk_create_dynamic_qr

Create up to 200 dynamic QR codes at once. Requires an OpenQR API key.

clear

clear_subdomain

Release the branded subdomain. Codes stay live on the plain short link; only the {name}.oqr.to form stops resolving. The name becomes claimable by someone else. Requires an OpenQR API key.

folders

list_folders

List your folders (id and name). Requires an OpenQR API key.

generate

generate_qr

Generate a static QR code from any text/URL. Returns a PNG image (or SVG markup). Requires an OpenQR API key.

scans

get_scans

Get scan statistics for a dynamic QR code. Requires an OpenQR API key.

static

create_static_qr

Save a static QR code to your library from structured fields: wifi, contact (vCard), email, SMS, WhatsApp, location, text, phone or URL. Static codes bake the content into the code itself — no short link, no scan analytics, not editable later. Render the returned payload with generate_qr. Requires an OpenQR API key.

themes

list_themes

List your saved style themes (id, name) — apply one by passing its id or name as `theme` to generate/create/update tools. Requires an OpenQR API key.

Openqr — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Openqr do?

It exposes 20 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: bulk_create_dynamic_qr, clear_subdomain, create_dynamic_qr, create_folder, create_link_alias, create_static_qr and 14 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, link 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 1348 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

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 20 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 1348 ms on average, which is faster than 2% 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.

Is Openqr open source?

Yes — it is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence, written in TypeScript and 7 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
