Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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.

Or run it on your computer

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sharecut": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "sharecut-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SHARECUT_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http sharecut https://sharecut.site/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Or run it on your computer

claude mcp add sharecut --env SHARECUT_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y sharecut-mcp

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": {
    "sharecut": {
      "url": "https://sharecut.site/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run it on your computer

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sharecut": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "sharecut-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SHARECUT_API_KEY": "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": {
    "sharecut": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://sharecut.site/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

    "sharecut": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

        "sharecut-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SHARECUT_API_KEY": "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

SHARECUT_API_KEY secret env
Optional. ShareCut API key (Business plan), needed only by shorten_url. Leave unset and create_qr still works.
Authorization secret HTTP header
Optional. ShareCut API key as 'Bearer sc_live_...', required only by shorten_url (Business plan). create_qr works with no credentials at all.

Common questions

Is ShareCut QR & Short Links 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: SHARECUT_API_KEY, Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry 2 months 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.

sharecut-mcp

MCP server for ShareCut — generate QR codes, create trackable short links, re-point them after the QR is printed, and read their click analytics from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.

QR codes, link expansion and short-code checks are free and need no account.

Install

Remote server, nothing to install:

claude mcp add --transport http sharecut https://sharecut.site/mcp

Or run this package over stdio:

npx sharecut-mcp

Config file (Claude Desktop, Cursor, …)

"mcpServers": { "sharecut": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "sharecut-mcp"], "env": { "SHARECUT_API_KEY": "sc_live_..." } } } }

SHARECUT_API_KEY is optional — leave it out and the three free tools still work.

Free tools — no API key, no account

Tool	What it does
`create_qr`	Renders any URL or text as a QR code: SVG, plus a PNG data URL with `format: "png"`, and an optional hex `color`. The code is static — the destination is baked into the pattern, so once printed it points there forever.
`expand_short_link`	Resolves a `sharecut.site` short link to its real destination and click count, without opening it.
`check_short_code`	Tells you whether a custom short code is still free before you try to claim it.

Tools that need an API key

The interesting half. All of them act on the account the key belongs to.

`update_link` — the reason this server exists

Changes where an existing short link points. A ShareCut QR encodes the short link, not the destination, so re-pointing the link redirects every copy already printed, shared or stuck on a wall — and the click history comes along.

That difference is the whole point. A poster, a menu, a business card or a product label outlives the URL printed on it. A static QR does not survive a site migration or a campaign change; this one does.

The short code itself is deliberately immutable here: changing it would break every copy already in circulation.

The rest

Tool	What it does
`shorten_url`	Creates a short link plus its QR code. Optional `customCode`, `title` and `utm`. Destinations are screened against Google Safe Browsing.
`shorten_urls_bulk`	Up to 25 links in one call, with per-item results so one bad URL does not discard the rest.
`list_links`	Lists your links with click counts — filter by kind or search term, sort by newest or most clicked.
`get_link`	Destination, title, clicks, creation date and UTM settings for one link.
`get_link_analytics`	Clicks over time, plus breakdowns by country, device, OS, browser and referrer.
`get_link_qr`	The QR code of an existing link, using the artwork saved on it (frames, colours, logo) when there is one.
`delete_link`	Permanent, and it releases the short code. Needs an explicit `confirm`.
`get_account`	Plan, entitlements and how much API quota is left this month. Worth calling before a bulk run.

API key

Create it at sharecut.site/p/profile — API access is part of the Business plan — then pass it as SHARECUT_API_KEY.

There is no programmatic sign-up: a person creates the key. See auth.md for the full authentication contract.

How it works

This package is a thin stdio bridge to https://sharecut.site/mcp. It moves newline-delimited JSON-RPC to that endpoint and back, which means zero dependencies (fast npx start) and no upgrades to chase: the tools live on the server, so new ones reach you without touching your config.

Point SHARECUT_MCP_URL elsewhere to target a different deployment.
