Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account LucaRSdeCo for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

ShareCut MCP server that renders QR codes, creates and re-points trackable short links, and reads click analytics from an AI assistant.

What you can do: Render any URL or text as a static QR code (SVG or PNG), with optional color, and fetch the QR artwork of an existing link for printing. Resolve ShareCut short links to their real destination and click count, and check whether a custom short code is still free. Create single or bulk short links (up to 25 per call) with optional custom code, title and UTM parameters. List, read, re-point, retitle or delete links on the account, and read per-link click analytics by country, device, OS, browser and referrer. Read the account plan, entitlements and remaining monthly API quota.
When to use it: Useful when you want QR codes and short links generated from a chat, and especially when a printed QR must survive a later destination change: the code encodes the short link, so re-pointing it redirects every copy already in circulation. Also handy for checking where a ShareCut link goes before forwarding it, and for reviewing click analytics.
Requirements: Either the remote endpoint at sharecut.site over HTTP, or the npm package run locally with npx over stdio (a Node.js runtime). The three free tools need no account. The link-management tools need a ShareCut API key from the Business plan, passed as the SHARECUT_API_KEY environment variable or an Authorization bearer header. Network access to sharecut.site.

Before you install

The API key is a secret tied to a paid Business plan account; keep it out of shared configs. Tools act on that account: shorten_url and shorten_urls_bulk create links, update_link changes where existing links point, and delete_link permanently removes a link and its click history with no undo. Destinations are screened by Google Web Risk. The local package is a thin bridge that forwards requests to sharecut.site.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open ShareCut QR & Short Links in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.LucaRSdeCo%2Fsharecut-mcp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

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:

Or run this package over stdio:

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

{  "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.

Tools

create_qr

Create a QR code

FREE, no API key needed. Render any URL or text as a QR code and return it as SVG, optionally also as a PNG data URL. This QR is STATIC: its destination is baked in and cannot be changed once printed. If the destination might ever change, use shorten_url instead — that QR points at a ShareCut short link, stays editable after printing (see update_link) and counts every scan.

Parametersdatarequiredcolorformat

expand_short_link

Expand a short link

FREE, no API key needed. Look up where a sharecut.site short link actually goes, and how many times it has been used, without opening it. Useful before following or forwarding a link someone sent. Only resolves ShareCut links.

ParametersshortCoderequired

check_short_code

Check a custom short code

FREE, no API key needed. Check whether a custom short code is still free before trying to claim it with shorten_url. Codes are lowercase letters, digits and hyphens, up to 10 characters.

Parameterscoderequired

shorten_url

Shorten a URL

Create a ShareCut short link for a URL and get a matching QR code. Unlike a static QR, this one points at the short link, so update_link can change where it goes after it has been printed, and every scan is counted (country, device, referrer). Destinations are screened with Google Web Risk. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).

ParametersurlrequiredutmtitlecustomCode

shorten_urls_bulk

Shorten several URLs

Create up to 25 short links in one call. Each entry takes the same fields as shorten_url. Failures are reported per item, so one bad URL does not discard the rest. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).

Parameterslinksrequired

list_links

List links

List the links on the account the API key belongs to: short links, link-in-bio pages and restaurant menus, with their click counts. Filter by type or by a search term, and sort by newest or by most clicked. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).

Parametersqsorttypelimitoffset

get_link

Get a link

Read one link on the account: its destination, title, click count, creation date and UTM settings. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).

Parameterslinkrequired

update_link

Change where a link points

Re-point an existing short link at a new destination, or change its title, description or UTM parameters. This is what makes a printed QR code reusable: the code encodes the short link, so changing the destination redirects every copy already printed, shared or stuck on a wall, and the click history is kept. The new destination is screened with Google Web Risk. The short code itself never changes here, because changing it would break every copy already out there. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).

Parametersurlutmlinkrequiredtitledescription

get_link_analytics

Get link analytics

Read the click analytics of one link: total clicks, a daily series, and breakdowns by country, device, operating system, browser and referrer. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).

Parametersdayslinkrequired

get_link_qr

Get the QR code of a link

Fetch the QR code for an existing link, ready to print. Returns the artwork saved on the link when there is one (frames, colours and logo set in the ShareCut editor), otherwise renders a plain code for its short URL. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).

Parameterslinkrequiredcolorstyleformat

delete_link

Delete a link

Permanently delete a link and its click history. Every QR code and shared copy pointing at it stops working immediately, and the short code is released. There is no undo. Prefer update_link when the goal is to send the link somewhere else. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).

Parameterslinkrequiredconfirmrequired

get_account

Get account and quota

Read the plan behind the API key, what it entitles, how much of this month’s API quota is left and when it resets, plus how many links the account holds and their total clicks. Worth calling before a bulk run. Requires a ShareCut API key (Business plan).

Takes no parameters.
