Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Shortimize 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 32

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

collection
create_collection
Creates a new collection for organizing accounts and videos.
delete_collection
Deletes a collection. This will also remove all associations with accounts and videos.
get_collection
**All tiers** — Limited/Basic: 1 result with masked metrics. Premium: full access.
get_collection_accounts
**All tiers** — Limited/Basic: 1 result with masked metrics. Premium: full access.
get_collection_videos
**All tiers** — Limited/Basic: 1 result with masked metrics. Premium: full access.
update_collection
Updates a collection's properties.
bulk
bulk_stop_tracking_accounts
Stop tracking up to 500 accounts in one request. Each entry in ids can be an account id or the link you originally tracked. Historical data stays available; this only stops new data being collected. If a link cannot be matched the whole request fails with 404 before anything is removed; a request of ids can partly succeed.
bulk_stop_tracking_videos
Stop tracking up to 500 videos in one request. Each entry in ids can be a video id or the link you originally tracked. Historical data stays available; this only stops new data being collected. If a link cannot be matched the whole request fails with 404 before anything is removed; a request of ids can partly succeed.
bulk_track_accounts
Start tracking up to 500 accounts in one request. Each link is handled on its own, so one bad link does not stop the rest - the response returns one entry per link with a status of tracked, already_tracked, or failed, and failed entries say whether retrying will help. Send 50 links or fewer if the data needs to start arriving immediately; larger batches are still tracked but are collected by the scheduled update.
bulk_track_videos
Start tracking up to 500 videos in one request. Each link is handled on its own, so one bad link does not stop the rest - the response returns one entry per link with a status of tracked, already_tracked, or failed, and failed entries say whether retrying will help. Send 50 links or fewer if the data needs to start arriving immediately; larger batches are still tracked but are collected by the scheduled update.

Shortimize — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Shortimize do?
It exposes 32 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: add_accounts_to_collection, add_videos_to_collection, authenticate, bulk_stop_tracking_accounts, bulk_stop_tracking_videos, bulk_track_accounts and 26 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 Shortimize mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around collection, bulk and videos. 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 Shortimize working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 78 of 78 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 96 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Shortimize?
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 Shortimize need an API key?
No. Shortimize completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 32 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Shortimize?
It answers our handshake in 96 ms on average, which is faster than 85% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
