Strait

Strait MCP server

Straight to the screen. On the record.

A tap on a Strait link goes straight to the exact screen in your app (Straight), and every tap is recorded (Stamped).

@straitlink/mcp (preview)

claude mcp add strait --env STRAIT_SECRET_KEY=st_live_your_key -- npx -y @straitlink/mcp

Use Strait from AI tools such as Claude Code, Cursor and Claude Desktop: create, find, pause and resume deep links, get their QR codes, read and compare analytics, see recent taps and conversion events, manage custom link domains, look after webhooks (list, deliveries, test, redeliver), check App Links / Universal Links files or any vendor's link, see where taps on a link go and search the Strait docs.

It is a local stdio server with 32 tools. Eleven of them write (create_link, batch_create_links, update_link, pause_link, resume_link, deactivate_link, record_event, add_domain, remove_domain, test_webhook, redeliver_webhook_delivery); the other twenty-one only read. check_app_links, check_link, search_docs and demo trace_tap work without a key; every other tool needs your secret key. Other deep-link vendors also ship MCP servers that can create links, so this README makes no "first" or "only" claim; it describes what this server does today.

iPhone is in beta. iPhone install matching (deferred deep linking on iOS) is in beta; Android uses the Play Install Referrer. On iPhone the workspace chooses the method in Dashboard → Settings → iPhone installs (device matching, paste handoff, both or neither), and the SDK reads that choice at runtime. Device matching is off for new workspaces. The tools report iPhone results the same way, but treat iPhone install attribution as beta.

Hosted server. The same tools are served at https://strait.link/mcp (Streamable HTTP, since 24 Oct 2026):

claude mcp add --transport http strait https://strait.link/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer st_live_your_key".

It takes a secret key in the Authorization header (60 requests burst, then 1 a second, per key); OAuth sign-in is

not there yet. The engine serves it with this package's createStraitServer() (library entry, 0.3.0).

Tools

A read-only secret key (Dashboard → Settings → Secret keys, access "Read only") is offered only the tools that read (0.5.1; the hosted server already did this). Full and links-only keys see every tool; the API still refuses anything outside the key's access.

Every tool carries MCP annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, …) and the descriptions of the 0.2 and 0.3 tools start with "Read-only." or "Write.". update_link, pause_link, deactivate_link and remove_domain are destructive. Every write except create_link, batch_create_links and test_webhook shows a preview first and acts only with confirm: true. create_link and batch_create_links write new links but never change existing ones. There is no delete tool: a deactivated link keeps its history.

Prompts

Clients that show MCP prompts (Claude Code: type /) offer six starters. All but get_started and migrate_firebase_links only read, and those two create links only after you answer yes:

Keys

The server needs a secret key (st_live_…) from Dashboard → Settings → Secret keys. A secret key can change your links, so:

• Create a separate key for your AI tools, so you can revoke it on its own.
• Keep it in the MCP client's config or environment, never in app or website code.
• A publishable key (st_pub_live_…) does not work here: it is for the SDKs in your apps.
• The server sends the key only as an Authorization: Bearer header to STRAIT_API_URL, never logs it, and replaces anything shaped like a secret key in tool output or errors with st_…[redacted].

Without a key, check_app_links, search_docs and demo trace_tap still work.

Install

Claude Code plugin (hosted server + skills)

/plugin install strait --marketplace strait-link/strait-mcp

(On older Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add strait-link/strait-mcp, then /plugin install strait@strait-link.) It asks for a secret key when you enable it and keeps it in your system's credential store. It connects to the hosted server https://strait.link/mcp and adds four skills: strait-setup (sets Strait up in an app), strait-troubleshoot, strait-events (tracks an in-app event) and strait-migration (from Firebase Dynamic Links or Branch). Privacy: https://straitlink.in/legal/privacy/

Claude Code

claude mcp add strait --env STRAIT_SECRET_KEY=st_live_your_key -- npx -y @straitlink/mcp

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project; don't commit a key):

{

"mcpServers": { "strait": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@straitlink/mcp"], "env": { "STRAIT_SECRET_KEY": "st_live_your_key" } } } }

Claude Desktop

Settings → Developer → Edit config, then add the same "strait" entry under mcpServers and restart.

From a checkout

cd mcp-server && npm ci && npm run build

claude mcp add strait --env STRAIT_SECRET_KEY=st_live_your_key -- node "$PWD/dist/stdio.js"

In Cursor or Claude Desktop use "command": "node", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-server/dist/stdio.js"].
