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.

  • tinyurl_get_link

    Details of one short link: destination URL, tiny_url, tags, created/expires dates, archived/deleted flags, analytics settings, total hits and owner. GET /alias/{domain}/{alias}.

  • tinyurl_list_links

    List the account's short links (type available = active, archived = archived), optionally created within a date range or filtered by alias or tag. The TinyURL API does not page this list: at most `limit` items (default 50, max 200) are returned together with the total, so narrow

  • tinyurl_count_links

    How many short links the account has (active or archived), optionally within a creation date range or filtered by alias or tag. GET /urls/{type}/count.

  • tinyurl_get_analytics

    Aggregated click analytics for the account, or for one link (alias) or one tag, from a start date. report: timeline (clicks over time; interval minute/hour/day/week/month), general (browsers, operating systems, devices), weekday and hour (popularity), top_sources (referrers), top

  • tinyurl_create_link

    WRITE: create ONE new short link for an http(s) destination URL. Optional custom alias (5-30 characters on tinyurl.com), domain (tinyurl.com or a branded domain), tags, expiry and description. Not idempotent: calling it again without an alias creates another link. Returns the new

  • tinyurl_update_link

    WRITE: change an existing short link's alias, tags, expiry, description or click-analytics switch. At least one new_* field is required. DESTRUCTIVE for what it replaces: new_tags REPLACES all existing tags, and renaming the alias (new_alias) makes the old short URL stop working.

  • tinyurl_change_destination

    WRITE: point an existing short link at a new destination. DESTRUCTIVE: everyone who opens the short link is sent to the new URL from now on and the old destination is overwritten. The new URL must be http(s). PATCH /change.

  • tinyurl_set_link_archived

    WRITE: archive an active short link (archived = true) or restore an archived one (archived = false). Archiving moves the link to the archived list; nothing is deleted and it can be restored. The API's archive endpoint is a toggle, so the link's current state is read first and not

Common questions

Is TinyURL 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: MCP YouTube Transcript, Google Analytics MCP, BibiGPT YouTube Video Summarizer

TinyURL MCP by usefulapi

Use TinyURL from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — short links, aliases, destinations, tags and click analytics. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own TinyURL credentials.

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

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://tinyurl.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http tinyurl https://tinyurl.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": { "tinyurl": { "url": "https://tinyurl.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 TinyURL credentials.
