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 entempsllc 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

A free, stateless remote MCP server for looking up verified keyboard shortcuts across platforms and 45+ apps, with sources and review status.

What you can do: Search shortcuts by action meaning or app label, and list supported apps and platforms with their recorded shortcuts. Look up what a literal key combination does, and compare reviewed equivalents of an action across platforms. Translate a binding between platforms only when reviewed origin and destination evidence exists. Read source and review metadata for a binding, and compose a custom shortcut set without storing private data.
When to use it: Useful when an assistant needs to answer shortcut questions accurately, such as finding the key for an action in a specific app, checking what a key combination does, or mapping a Windows shortcut to macOS without guessing.
Requirements: A remote HTTP endpoint; no API key, sign-in or environment variables are needed for basic use. Network access to the hosted service is required.

Before you install

The server is stateless and does not store private data, but requests go to a third party service. The README notes a free REST API limit of 60 requests per minute per IP and asks that an attribution link be kept when reusing the data. Paid PDF packs are offered separately on the site.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open KeyShortcuts 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.entempsllc%2Fkeyshortcuts/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

README

KeyShortcuts MCP Server

A free, stateless Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for keyboard shortcuts — hosted at https://keyshortcuts.net/api/mcp. No API key, no sign-in, no rate-limit paywall for basic use.

Search 2,719 verified shortcut records across 7 platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, Android) and 45 apps (VS Code, Excel, Figma, Photoshop, Notion, Slack, Vim, IntelliJ IDEA, Cursor, and more) — or look up what a key combination does, compare across platforms, and translate bindings between Windows/macOS.

Quick start

Add to your MCP client config:

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "keyshortcuts": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://keyshortcuts.net/api/mcp"    }  }}

Available tools

Tool	Description
`search_shortcuts`	Search action meanings and app labels
`list_apps`	List supported apps and platforms
`get_app_shortcuts`	Get the shortcut records for one app
`lookup_shortcut`	Look up what a literal key combination does
`compare_platforms`	Reviewed equivalents of an action across platforms
`translate_shortcut`	Translate a binding between platforms (e.g. Windows → macOS)
`get_source`	Source and review metadata for a binding
`create_shortcut_set`	Compose a custom shortcut set

Every record carries source references and per-binding review status — shortcuts are facts, but which ones are confirmed for your platform matters. The server never guesses platform translations.
