Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Short links and trackable QR codes: editable after printing, device routing, scan 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: Other
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: Authorization

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 esyurl https://esyurl.fyi/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

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": {
    "esyurl": {
      "url": "https://esyurl.fyi/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "esyurl": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://esyurl.fyi/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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
    Bearer esy_... API key. An agent can get one itself: https://esyurl.fyi/auth.md

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

Common questions

Is esyURL safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 (0.2.0) reached the registry 30 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?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, SuperCollider

esyURL MCP server

A hosted MCP server that lets AI agents create and manage short links and QR codes with esyURL: shorten URLs, render styled QR codes, change where a printed or shared link points, route visitors by device or country, and read click and scan stats. The agent can sign itself up; no human account is needed.

  • Endpoint: https://esyurl.fyi/mcp (Streamable HTTP, stateless)
  • Auth: Authorization: Bearer esy_...

There is nothing to install or run: this repository describes the hosted server. The server itself is not open source.

Get an API key

An agent without a key can create its own account and get one, following esyurl.fyi/auth.md:

BASE=https://esyurl.fyi

REG=$(curl -s $BASE/agent/identity -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"type":"anonymous"}') KEY=$(curl -s $BASE/oauth2/token \ --data-urlencode grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer \ --data-urlencode assertion=$(echo "$REG" | jq -r .identity_assertion) | jq -r .access_token) echo $KEY

Self-signed-up accounts get 100 links, 1000 once a human claims the account by email.

Connect

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http esyurl https://esyurl.fyi/mcp \

--header "Authorization: Bearer esy_..."

Cursor, VS Code and other clients (.mcp.json style):

{

"mcpServers": { "esyurl": { "type": "http", "url": "https://esyurl.fyi/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer esy_..." } } } }
