Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Shorten links with Cuttly, read click stats, and edit, expire, redirect or delete short links.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

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

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • cuttly_shorten_link

    WRITE: create a Cuttly short link for a long URL, optionally with a custom alias (the part after the slash). Returns the short link, the full link and the page title. It counts against the monthly link limit of the plan. Cuttly rate limit: Free 3 calls per 60 seconds, Starter 6,

  • cuttly_get_link_stats

    Click statistics of one short link: total clicks, clicks by source (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, other, bots), top referrers, countries, device types, operating systems, browsers, device brands and languages. The date range filter needs the Team plan or higher. Counts as one API

  • cuttly_update_link

    WRITE: change a short link: its alias, destination URL, title, tag or unique-click window. Send only what you want to change. Changing the alias makes the old short link stop working; changing the destination redirects every visitor to the new URL at once. Link editing needs the

  • cuttly_set_link_expiration

    WRITE: set or remove the expiration of a short link. The link expires after a number of clicks or on a date, and can then redirect to another URL. mode 'none' removes an existing expiration. Needs the Single plan or higher. The call is sent once and never retried. GET https://cut

  • cuttly_set_device_redirect

    WRITE: send visitors on one device type to another destination (an app store page or a deep link): Android, iOS or Windows Mobile. platform 'redirect' sets the destination for all other devices. Set `remove: true` instead of a destination to delete the rule. Needs the Single plan

  • cuttly_delete_link

    WRITE, IRREVERSIBLE: permanently delete a short link and its statistics. Anyone who opens the short link afterwards gets an error, and Cuttly cannot restore it. Ask the user to confirm the exact link before you call this. Needs the Single plan or higher. The call is sent once and

Common questions

Is Cuttly MCP by usefulapi safe?

It passed 3 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 (1.22.3) reached the registry yesterday.

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, Symantec Cloud DLP AIops

Cuttly MCP by usefulapi

Use Cuttly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — shorten links (also on your own branded domain), read click statistics, and edit titles, tags, aliases, expiration, device redirects or delete short links (editing needs a paid Cuttly plan). Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Cuttly credentials.

Live endpoint: https://cuttly.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/cuttly

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://cuttly.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http cuttly https://cuttly.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{

"mcpServers": { "cuttly": { "url": "https://cuttly.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Cuttly credentials.
