Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Shareglow MCP server: scan link previews, generate OG images, short links and stats.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Design, images & audio
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http getshareglow https://mcp.getshareglow.com/mcp --header 'Authorization: Bearer {api_key}'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "getshareglow": {
      "url": "https://mcp.getshareglow.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {api_key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "getshareglow": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.getshareglow.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {api_key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret required HTTP header
    Your Shareglow API key as a Bearer token (sk_live_...), created in the Shareglow dashboard.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • scan_url

    Scan a public web page and report its link-preview (Open Graph / Twitter Card) metadata, previews per platform, and issues with fix suggestions. Use it to answer 'why does my link preview look wrong?'.

  • generate_og_image

    Render a 1200x630 Open Graph image from a template id (see list_templates) and text params such as title and subtitle. Returns the permanent image URL to put in og:image, and whether it was already cached. Optional exp (Unix seconds, paid plans) makes the signed URL expire; leave

  • create_template_from_url

    Use AI to design a new OG image template from a website's brand (logo, colors, fonts) taken from a URL. Returns the chosen layoutId (a built-in template id usable with generate_og_image), the variables to pass, and the extracted brand kit. Counts against the plan's AI quota.

  • list_templates

    List the OG image templates the workspace can render (built-in and custom) with id, name, version and dimensions. Call this before generate_og_image to pick a templateId.

  • create_short_link

    Create a short link with its own link preview. Optional custom slug, and optional A/B variants (each with a title, description, imageUrl or templateId) to test which preview gets more clicks. Returns id, shortUrl and variants. Use the id with get_link_stats.

  • get_link_stats

    Get click analytics for a short link by id (from create_short_link): totals plus breakdowns by day, country, device, browser and referrer. Optional from/to dates (YYYY-MM-DD).

  • refresh_preview

    Force social platforms to re-fetch a page's link preview after you changed its OG tags or image: bumps the og:image cache-buster, re-scrapes Facebook, and returns the LinkedIn Post Inspector link and the X cache note.

Common questions

Is Shareglow safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 28 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

shareglow-mcp

MCP server for Shareglow: scan link previews, generate Open Graph images, create short links with their own preview, and read click stats from any MCP client.

It is a thin client of the Shareglow REST API (/v1). Your API key is passed straight through, so plan limits and rate limits apply unchanged. The server holds no credentials of its own.

Hosted endpoint

https://mcp.getshareglow.com/mcp

Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...

Transport: Streamable HTTP. Create an API key at https://app.getshareglow.com/developer.

Client setup

Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http shareglow https://mcp.getshareglow.com/mcp \

--header "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..."

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop reaches remote servers through mcp-remote. Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "shareglow": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.getshareglow.com/mcp", "--header", "Authorization:${AUTH}"], "env": { "AUTH": "Bearer sk_live_..." } } } }

Or skip the remote and use the stdio server below.

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "shareglow": { "url": "https://mcp.getshareglow.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer sk_live_..." } } } }

Local stdio (any client)
{

"mcpServers": { "shareglow": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "shareglow-mcp"], "env": { "SHAREGLOW_API_KEY": "sk_live_..." } } } }

The key can also be passed as --api-key sk_live_.... SHAREGLOW_API_URL points the server at another REST base (default https://app.getshareglow.com).

Errors and limits

  • Each tool needs the key scope of its REST call. A key without it gets 403 insufficient_scope.
  • REST 401, 402, 403 and 429 become MCP tool errors (isError: true) that carry the API's message.
  • URLs are validated before forwarding (http/https, no private or local hosts).
  • Tool results are truncated at 20,000 characters. The API key is redacted from every result and error.

Local development

npm install

npm run typecheck npm test npm run build npm run dev # Streamable HTTP on PORT (default 8791) npm run dev:worker # Cloudflare Worker via wrangler dev

Node 22 or newer is required.
