Integrate LinkShrink into Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and any MCP-compatible AI assistant. Shorten URLs, retrieve click analytics, resolve shortened links, bulk shorten, and build UTM-tagged campaign URLs — all through natural language.

No API key required. Free forever.

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkshrink": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "linkshrink-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Then ask Claude:

> "Shorten https://example.com/very/long/path/to/resource"

> "Get click stats for code abc123"

> "Unshorten https://bit.ly/3xYz"
