MicroURLConnect an AI assistant
MicroURL has a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT can list, view, create, edit, and delete your short links directly in a conversation. These are the same actions you'd otherwise do by clicking through the dashboard.
Add MicroURL as a connector
You add MicroURL once, using this address:
https://mcp.getmicrourl.com/mcp
In Claude (claude.ai or the Claude app, on any plan; the free plan allows one custom connector): go to Customize → Connectors, click + Add, choose Add custom connector, name it MicroURL, paste the address and click Add. In a chat, turn it on from the + button under Connectors.
In ChatGPT, custom connectors are only available in Business, Enterprise and Edu workspaces, and a workspace admin adds them: Plugins → + → Add custom MCP server, paste the address and choose OAuth for sign-in.
In other assistants, look for “custom connector” or “MCP server” in settings. These menus change often; the steps above are from each app’s help center, checked 23 October 2026.
Sign in and approve
You’ll be sent to MicroURL to sign in (if you aren’t already) and see a screen asking you to approve the connection for your organization. Approving creates a new API key labeled with the assistant’s name, for example “AI assistant: Claude (claude.ai)”. You can see it any time under Settings → API Keys, and revoke it there like any other key. Approving the same assistant again replaces its key.
Just ask
Once connected, ask in plain language, like “list my MicroURL links,” “create a short link to example.com/pricing,” or “deactivate my link with slug old-promo.” You can also ask how a link is doing: “how many people scanned my menu QR code this week, and from where?” The assistant calls the right tool for you.
What it can and can't do
It can list links, get one link’s details, get a link’s clicks (last 7, 30 or 90 days, with countries, websites, devices and languages), create a link, update a link, and delete a link. It can also list, create and edit link-in-bio pages (“make a bio page for Rosa’s Kitchen with buttons for the menu and booking”).
Deleting is deliberately a two-step process. The assistant previews what it’s about to delete and needs a second, explicit confirmation before anything is actually removed. If your assistant’s own interface shows a “needs approval” prompt for tool calls, you’ll typically see that too.
Account-level changes (API keys, custom domains, team members, billing) stay dashboard-only; the assistant can’t touch those.
Revoke access any time
Go to Settings → API Keys and revoke the key labeled with the assistant’s name. It loses access immediately.
